I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Panera Bread in Feb 2016
Interview
The interview was very easy. I was a little nervous because it was my first job interview ever, but the manager who interviewed me was very nice. I arrived about 10 minutes early, was offered a drink, and the interview lasted only 15 minutes or so. I was asked very standard questions.
I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Fresno, CA) in Aug 2019
Interview
Easy process. Quick and easy questions. Why do you want to work here? They also ask you what your desired salary is. Ask 0.50 cents above, sometimes they will give it to you. I did.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Gig Harbor, WA) in Sep 2018
Interview
Applying online was easy. I was contacted by phone call to set up and interview and went into the cafe for an interview with a manager. I received an offer on the spot, but typically I believe they would have called to offer a role.
