Great place to cater your meetings and work lunches.

Speed 5 / Price 3 / Quality 4

We've tried several local places to cater meetings at our corporate R&D facility, but we've always gone back to Panera. They're menu has something for everyone. We typically order around 8am and pick up around 11:30 or so. Price is reasonable and food is good quality.

Strengths: Panera's menu is perfect for catering small to medium sized working lunches. Soups, sandwiches and salads, there's really something for everyone dietary needs.

Needs to improve: When catering for larger groups orders can be confused so make sure to check and re-check your order for accuracy.

Panera is quality food

I've had many employee lunch meetings at Panera and the food is always fresh and served with a smile. I've also bought their boxes of bagels with cream cheese to feed to my starving students on exam day. It's always a hit after many of these kids probably hadn't eaten for hours and hours while studying for midterms. Haha!

Strengths: Fresh, quality food, quick and friendly service

Needs to improve: None

Quality lunch catering vendor, as long as you don't ask for substitutions

We have used Panera Bread to cater several meetings for around 50 people. Cold sandwich selection was always well prepared, fresh-appearing and tasty. Special requests to add or leave off ingredients were normally met with no issues, but occasionally were not met.

Strengths: Delicious food, excellent selection of products. High quality breads and ingredients on their sandwiches

Needs to improve: Loudness of their stores, special requests are sometimes granted, sometimes ignored

Great food slow service

We use Panera for catering lunch meetings all the time. Their food is always very fresh, and made with high quality ingredience. The only problem I have is that they take a long time to prepare the food, even with 24 hour prior notice, they rarely have the food on time.

Strengths: Fresh tastey sandwiches and high quality ingredience.

Needs to improve: Expensive and slow service

Healthy meals
