At the dealership I worked for, we always used Panera for our Friday bagels regardless of how many bagel joints there were around. We did so because they have the best product for the most reasonable price.

Strengths: At Panera Bread, they offer catering for offices around the area. At the car dealership I worked for, Panera would cater a giant box of bagels every Friday morning around 10 am. They provided a huge variety, including some of their specialty bagels. In fact they delivered several boxes of bagels, one to every department of the car dealership. Along with the bagels, they would cater multiple cream cheeses. Everytime was different though. Sometimes they would only bring plain cream cheese, but other times they would bring all different flavors. Sometimes in individual sizes and other times in communal sizes to share. All in all, they always brought a variety of bagels from sweet to savory with condiments to match. They also provided knives and napkins as well.

Needs to improve: Sometimes the catering would come later than expected.

High quality food catering services

During tax season it gets really busy in the office my staff and I work very late hours and need to bring in dinner. Panera Bread is usually our goto place. The have a very wide variety of sandwiches and soup and the food is always fresh. While they are a little more expensive than Togos and Subway, the quality of the food is worth the extra cost.

Strengths: Panera makes high quality sandwiches and soups. They have very good catering services, with about three hours notice, they can have a catering order ready for pick up. Their process are very reasonable.

Needs to improve: They do not deliver

I recently met with my team at Panera Bread for our teacher prep day. Our team spent the day at Panera bread and were able to meet, get work accomplished, eat a great lunch, and obtain free wifi for a good five hours. It was a great atmosphere to work in and I would highly recommend.

Strengths: * clean restaurant
* outside seating
* Fresh food
* variety of healthy options
* wifi available
* areas and tables to hold meetings (bigger space than Starbucks)

Needs to improve: Wifi went off after a certain amount of time or when the restaurant became overly crowded

Great healthy food for staff

Pre-order process needs to be revamped as they lost our order twice. Great food though

Strengths: Great healthy food for staff meetings

Needs to improve: I pre-ordered our staff order a day before. When I went to pick it up, it wasn't ready yet and they actually lost the order. They made the entire order while I waited. Staff was waiting in the office. :(
