Quote
Panera 2.0 is an investment in the customer enabled by technology to reduce wait times, improve order accuracy and minimize or eliminate crowding.

Panera 2.0 separates the experience for “to go” and “eat in” guests. It includes:

• An ordering option called Rapid Pick-Up that allows customers to place an online or mobile order from their office, car, work or home, up to five days in advance, and pick up their food at a pre-determined time without waiting in line.

• An in-cafe dining option that allows customers to place an online or mobile order within

the bakery-cafe and have the

meal delivered directly to their table.

• An ordering option from iPad kiosks, which are available in addition to cashier stations so that wait time is reduced.

• At the kiosks, and through the web or mobile app, guests can save customizations, past orders, and “favorites” for easy ordering on their next visit.

• New digital ordering processes are enabled by an online ordering web function on panerabread.com and a mobile app that allow customers to store their purchase history and credit-card information for future use.

• Dine-in guests will have their meal delivered to their table by an associate using an electronic table locator.

• For customers who have ordered their food “to go,” Panera 2.0 bakery-cafes will be equipped with a special “to go” pick-up area, featuring dedicated seating, an order-status monitor providing real-time information as orders are prepared and completed, and shelf space, all to facilitate easy pick up.

“To go” guests can claim their food without waiting in line, using a travel path through the cafe different from that of “eat in” customers.
