TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!
My order was wrong twice in a matter of 20 minutes! I had a coupon for a free Pick Two. Ordering a sandwich and a bacon mac. I check my receipt while waiting and the sandwich was rung up correctly. I went to the counter tried to double check and the person that took my order, shift lead/manager, said she was making it. The sandwich was supposed to be ham and cheese on sourdough. I received a fully dressed sandwich on regular white bread. Which is confusing and concerning considering the person that took my order is THE SAME person that apparently made the sandwich.
I asked for a remake and received it but the remade STILL was on white bread and not sourdough had 2 pieces on ham and a tiny peice of cheese. When I went to pick up the remake, I said “thank you” and the shift leader/manager responded with “girl bye” as I’m walking off while another shift leader/manager or employee tried to over talk her and say thank you as if they didn’t want me to catch the disrespect.

It’s hard to imagine a more poorly managed Panera that has no concept of their customer base in the surrounding area. What should be a convenient and reliable lunch option M-F for the community of business professionals is instead an unreliable option that is certain to create delays in your day. Mobile orders are never ready on time and often are not prepared until you check in, usually long after your app-promised “ready-by” time. This is true before during and after the lunch rush. While the food quality is as expected, if you’re in a hurry or ordering something other than a single person simple meal, you should go elsewhere. Expect delays for all order types and times.

Yesterday evening I called Panera Bread (the midtown location) for a receipt from a business meeting I coordinated. I was told to "call back in the morning". Today when I called back I spoke to Denzel and he assisted me with my request. Denzel is a rockstar.
