Very simple there were two interviews with two different Managers. They as basic interview question. They want to make sure you are a team player that is very important to them.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Montgomery, TX) in Dec 2016
Interview
They didn't interview me, I put in no application, they just hired me. I was sitting in their cafe waiting to pick someone up and the general manager asked if I wanted a job. I said yes and started working a week later.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Las Vegas, NV) in Mar 2016
Interview
The interview was very laid-back and stress-free. If you meet the requirements you'll be asked back for a second interview with the General Manager of that Panera. Both interviews were very calm and felt almost as if you were meeting with an old friend. Both interviews held the same objective of getting to know you as a person.
