I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Panera Bread in Jul 2011
Interview
Brought me to the general managers office for the interview and reviewed my resumed, asked about my experience, told me about the comoany and about the pay as well as the traning process, what I would be doing. He told me that I would start off in the bakery then work up to the lunch (or cafe) side of the restaurant.
Received a call to schedule interview, went in and met with team member. Friendly, and very informative. Learned about the company and enjoyed the process. My only concern would be the hours.
I applied online. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Menifee, CA) in Dec 2024
Interview
Simple, straightforward questions. Don’t stress and you will be fine. No trick questions, use common sense and be truthful. The questions are basic, entry level, and easy to answer with a day of preparation.
