I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Lebanon, TN) in Mar 2019
Interview
it went really great it least then 20 mins long the people were very nice the place was very clean the manger was very kind to me he treated me like i worked there but i did not get the job because there was no job opens left for me to be there
It was fairly easy. Some behavior questions and questions about hobbies. They also asked me if I had any food service experience. Overall, it wasn't a bad gig between jobs.
Applied online, got a phone call to meet at a cafe, interviewed, got an offer, and accepted the job offer. Then scheduled training and orientation. Pretty easy process, except it is 3rd shift.
Very easy. My previous manager became the bakery manager so they already knew me. I contacted her and we arranged a phone call so we could talk about the position and see if it was a good match. It worked out really well for me then I was able to start soon after.
