I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Lanham, MD) in Jun 2022
Interview
Very easy. A friend of mine got me in contact with the manager, we set up an interview, and I answered a few easy questions and that was it. It was very laid back and I heard back from them not too long afterwards.
You get a call to interview In person with one manager and then if you pass that round you interview with the store manager might depend on store to store
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What was it like working with a difficult co worker
I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Charlotte, NC)
Interview
I walked into the store in the morning maybe an hour before lunch rush on a weekday and was pretty much immediately able to meet with a manager and review my application.

Question 1
Preferred hours and pay (though this is more courtesy it seemed than actually paying attention — the manager was ALWAYS upset abt people asking for select hours off even when asking weeks in advance)
very quick and easy. I applied online and then went in person to have an interview with the general manager. Just a couple of questions about availability and experience (I had none but they trained me and it was pretty easy)
