While Panera Bread -- an American chain store of bakery-café fast-casual restaurants -- has already offered consumers in-house delivery since 2016, the brand recently announced a partnership with DoorDash, GrubHub, and Uber Eats to allow more consumers to enjoy its delicious food in the comfort of their own homes.
Customers can order Panera Bread's full menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on all three apps and on the brand's own website and app. The company has also ensured that loyalty members will still receive their MyPanera points when they order on the third party delivery systems.
The brand also announced its new fall menu that will launch in stores on September 9th. The seasonal menu includes some delicious tasting options including Cinnamon Apple Scone, Cinnamon Spice Latte, and a Cinnamon Spice Cold Brew.
