Panera is as committed as ever to connecting people to good food but it is doing so in a new way with Panera Grocery. This new service, launched in response to a global pandemic, gives guests the chance to purchase essential pantry items like milk, bread and fresh produce. Additionally, people can pick up favorites from Panera like soups, salads and sandwiches. As grocery store shelves are being cleared out, people are being forced to make multiple trips to get what they require. To reduce the burden on supermarkets, Panera created a service that leverages its supply network.
To make sure people are able to pick up the high-quality items they need in a safe way, Panera is offering contactless delivery, Rapid Pick-Up, drive-up and drive-thru options. Ordering the essentials is done through Panera's site or app.
