Why is Panera’s bread so good? All That Delicious Bread is Baked Fresh Daily. Panera employs over 6,000 bakers who make more than 250 million bagels and 50 million baguettes each year. Every night, fresh dough is delivered to all Panera locations from Fresh Dough Facilities across the country. So their bread is about as fresh as it gets.
Obviously, one of the biggest reasons people frequent Panera Bread is because the chain paints itself as a healthy alternative to most other fast food joints. However, not everything on the Panera menu is all that healthy. In fact, there is one sandwich that you should never order, at least if you're trying to be health-conscious.
Panera contains healthier ingredients than most casual dining restaurants. However, most of their meals contain grains, bread, and other starchy foods that are not low-carb. You can keep it low-carb at Panera by ordering a breakfast sandwich with meat and cheese minus the bread.
Working at Panera was fun yet challenging. Management could have been more professional but overall experience was fun. Coworkers were hardworking and kind and the atmosphere was like home.
