Panera bread

Panera Bread bakery-cafes bring the tradition of fresh-baked bread to neighborhoods in cities throughout the country. They use only the highest quality ingredients and bake fresh every day, using no preservatives. The breads that they bake for taking home are also served in the café. In their café, fresh-baked bread is the centerpiece of every meal, from sandwiches and salads to hearty soups served in sourdough bread bowls. The bakery offers more than a dozen delicious varieties of bread, as well as bagels, croissants, muffins, and pastries. The menu, operating systems and design all enable the baker-café to compete successfully in four key businesses: breakfast, lunch, daytime “chill out” (the time between breakfast and lunch and between lunch and dinner when customers visit their bakery-cafes to take a break from their daily activities) and take- home bread.
