What is going on with the Panera Shop website? I need a password to enter? Can anyone help!

Does anyone know if we still receive holiday pay? The company has cut many many corners recently and I was told we do, however, I cannot find it on any employee app. In the 4 weeks before Thanksgiving, my weekly hours average to 25.9. I also worked before and after Thanksgiving. My panera is a corporate cafe. Thanks

At least once a day some old person will open “Employees Only” door and say “is anyone working up front? I’ve been here forever!” Look, I don’t know why the cut labor so much that the upfront person has to do so many things at once that they aren’t there all the time also, we have 3 self-service kiosks and they are very blatantly there. I know they are old and probably don’t know how to use technology, but picking your head in through the “employees only” door is utterly disrespectful and just shows their level of entitlement, not to mention is also a hazard and liability. Crazy. I don’t hate old people, but they tend to be the ones who lack patience and respect for boundaries.

I need an AOP or someone higher up the ladder to tell me how tf some of the expectations yall have make sense I simultaneously need to: Keep customers happy Keep employees happy Make sure cleaning is done Make sure prepping is done But I also have to manage labor (which btw now needs to be -4 or lower a day)

How can I be staffed enough to do what you want me to do when I can’t even be fully staffed because of weekly labor expectations lowering every month 😭. And how can I train people btw, because we now have exactly (let me look this up real quick) zero training hours.

Today we ended at like +20 in labor, because I was training two people and because my GM had people to come in and clean before an RVP visit. Now again am I gonna be told that I should’ve sent people home, and that my excuse of “my boss asked all these people to come in, not me” isn’t a good reason to be blowing the weekly labor in one night. But they’ll also ask me why they went home right after close and I stayed hours later, pick a damn struggle.

I just need to know if I should worry about my job or if you just have these absurd expectations because you think that’ll magically make me do the impossible.

Bre and king husband and wife together work on Panera bread manager explanation workers and black mail then if you don't going do anything I'm saying you your haurs going get cut and discrimination you bri and her husband black mail me on Panera bread West chaise Houston TX 77042 h

Okay, lets be true. there have been way more orders of hot mochas or hot chocolates since i've worked than chai tea lattes. i've been trying to find the real reason why it was taken but i've come slumped. Man i love my job, but corporate sucks sometimes.

Somebody walked in about 2 weeks ago and told us that he's just a chill guy and to ring him up anything from the menu. I wasn't sure if we were allowed to do that so I went over to my supervisor but she was flirting with the other staff as usual so I just went back and gave the guy a Ciabatta dipper.

We then had someone else do this a few days later and now it's been happening at least twice a day. It's been pretty fun to finally flex my chef skills as I've been getting more and more creative in my customizations as I make sure to order them a super expensive sandwich. I figure if they're actually chill then they won't mind right?

So have you guys seen this?

Panera's app allows a ton of customization, except it doesn't allow you to specify the amount of ice (and not all drinks are self-serve). Other apps have this feature (McDonalds, Dunkin, Starbucks). So what is Panera thinking here? It's really annoying to stand in the lines in my store (which has no kiosks) just to tell them that I don't want ice in my drink.

does anyone else have a love/hate relationship with panera? i always say i hate working there but it’s been almost two years & i haven’t even looked for a new job… & some days i really do have fun so… let’s talk about it. i wanna hear how y’all’s experience is.

Any chance it ever comes back????

[feel free to delete if this is too much of a complaint] I’m not explaining what you pick 2’s are over and over again. I’m not describing every last food item you’re ordering in excruciating detail. My restaurant is way too high volume to have my time wasted like this. It does not take 6 minutes to order two menu items. Let’s use our thinking caps! Thank you everyone 💕💕💕

Hi yall this is just a rant for how i’m feeling. Today i opened with a manger so i sent up display for front and the bagels for the drive thru. A newbie worker comes in a couple hours later switching up the display (how i had it was correct) and when she put things on the display she had none of the cookies on display besides the chocolate chip cookies and the mitten cookies i thought we were out no they’re on the rack behind me. She left before anyone could ask her to put them back on display. How i had it was cute and correct so i’m mad it just look like it’s just thrown together and everything isn’t up there for people to see.

I love Panera but not their unnecessarily high prices. Any help is appreciated!

I had a message that there was a code for 1/2 off a breakfast sandwich the next three days.

But now I can’t find it.

Did anyone else see it and write down the code?

Thanks

I thought it was 16 but the cup looks more like 12

My young nephew has asked for “hard bread” from Panera. Any idea what he means? Google did not provide an answer.

Hey everyone, no one mentions them, but I came here to say don’t sleep on the duets! $6.99 pre-arranged combos. I love the kickin grilled cheese/tomato sound and the bbq chicken sandwich/tomato soup. They’re all good though. People are always complaining about how expensive everything is today, but most places also have more affordable options…

Last time I worked there they were in their twenties. I’m forty and I’m wondering if I’m too told to do it. Thanks

App not letting me order 😭😭😭

Has this happened to anyone else? They also have a small arcade with about 5 pinball machines, ms. PAC man, and one of those track-ball golf games.

Don’t get upset at us because someone bought all ten bread

Just saw a big list of carrots recalled for ecoli..i just ate soups from panera with carrots in them..just hoping it’s safe..? Hopefully their carrots are different

I miss that sandwich so much. Thinking about remaking it at home but I need it exact
