I ordered had a sandwich and small mac and cheese. It took over 45 minutes to receive the order. They were busy. They had about 20 orders to fill. I do not think it should have take anywhere near 45 minutes especially in a hospital setting. Most employees have a 30 minute break. Luckily I had an hour but between walking to panera, and waiting it was over an hour. I asked for a refund multiple times only for someone to get a manager the second time asked. They kept saying the food is ready; which it was not. I agreed if the foot was ready I would take it. I the had to wait another 5-10 minutes for it to be heated and packed. The employees were nice but very unorganized and had a lack of urgency. There were over 10 guests waiting for over 30 minutes. The food was good but I would definitely think twice before returning. I hope we see improvement soon.

Portions are smaller than other Panera’s, double check your orders because they will get it wrong or forget to put items and order 30 mins to an hour ahead of time if you’re doing “rapid” pick up because they take forever. I hope they get it together here.
