I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Portage, MI) in Mar 2015
Interview
The interview was really laid-back and my manager who interviewed me was very nice. Just one interview with an assistant manager. I was interviewed in-store and was offered a position on the spot by the aforementioned manager. The interview was concise and my manager was very nice and straightforward in telling me that they needed weekend availability and for me to enjoy customer service.
You get a call to interview In person with one manager and then if you pass that round you interview with the store manager might depend on store to store

Question 1
What was it like working with a difficult co worker

Interview
I walked into the store in the morning maybe an hour before lunch rush on a weekday and was pretty much immediately able to meet with a manager and review my application.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Preferred hours and pay (though this is more courtesy it seemed than actually paying attention — the manager was ALWAYS upset abt people asking for select hours off even when asking weeks in advance)
very quick and easy. I applied online and then went in person to have an interview with the general manager. Just a couple of questions about availability and experience (I had none but they trained me and it was pretty easy)
