r/Panera

i just ate a chocolate chip muffie (ones i baked last night) and it was dry as shitttt how do i make them better what did i fuck up (im new to doing bake)

Hey Ive just become a certified MIC at Panera Bread and very interested in a corporate position, I was wondering what I'd need to do to get ahead and land a corporate spot in maybe the field operations or support as quickly and comprehensively as possible. I'd also love any tips from any fellow management team members about how to run the best store possible, I'm very competitive and want to show my higher ups I'm an asset to the company. Quite serious about making a positive lasting impression! Thank you!

Do any Panera employees know the recipe to the tulip cookie BEFORE the transition from baked to frozen? I used to loooove this cookie sm but then last year my friend who works at Panera said they switched to frozen food only. So one day I went to go get my beloved cookie and it tasted so different I was heartbroken. The base is similar I think but the icing is so waxy and thick. So if anyone who works there/used to work there knows how they were made before I would greatly appreciate it so I can make it at home.

Rip those 10%. Iykyk

Our cafe was the last in the area to have bakers and fresh dough. Well, now we got all frozen bread too. It's honestly so upsetting and I'm angry on behalf of the bakers who got stiffed by corporate for this awful business decision. Private equity strikes again :(

I really want to succeed and do well at this job.

Hello fellow Panera patrons ,
Anyone know where we can buy their aioli ? Or even how’s it’s made ? Krafts brand has a similar one but it’s slightly off.

I know many employees have gotten used to this by now after months. This is not a complaint, but a general curiosity. Why were they removed? Do they expect product that is still good to be thrown away? I know that one of managers biggest hurdles is food cost. How is this change not warned about or how to follow through? I am thoroughly confused?

Update:

Thank you for those that have commented, I will be using my own cup from now on or saving the one coffee cup for a couple of days. I really feel as he is doing it to be a jerk but I’m not sure why. I am respectful, polite and I never leave a mess if anything I clean up when I see something spilled by the coffee station.
