I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Johns Creek, GA) in Dec 2022
Interview
They asked behavioral questions. Very simple, very quick, very easy. Only talked for 10-15 minutes and then they offered me the job and asked about compensation. Minimum qualifications needed. I just talked about my high school clubs.

I applied online. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Tampa, FL) in Apr 2026
Interview
Good experience. They gave me a free drink and asked about my prior experience and availability. There were several more people waiting to be interviewed, though, and it felt rushed.
The interview was quick and easy, with friendly questions that made me feel comfortable. It flowed naturally, didn’t feel stressful, and gave me a good chance to express myself confidently.
