I applied in-person. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Seekonk, MA) in Sept 2011
Interview
It was long and difficult. I interviewed a grand total of six times in 2 different cafes, meeting with 4 different managers. After the sixth one, I was finally hired and didn't even start for another week. Before you start actually training, you must first attend Planet Bread which is a brainwashing session to try and show you that your working for a great company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How does corporate deal with unprofessional management?
It was on-the-fly. Angled at a seat where you could see what the workers were doing (they didn't look happy). They ask you basic behavioral questions that aren't difficult to answer.

Question 1
They asked about how your friends would describe you
The interview process was very easy. They just want to learn more about you and about your prior experiences. I would say it was one of the easiest interview I've ever had.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Atlanta, GA) in Feb 2022
Interview
Quick, at least 5 minutes of banter. I recall it about panera bread’s customers. Very nice conversation but it didn’t give enough information on the job. I ended after 5 months.
