I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Collegeville, PA) in Jun 2013
Interview
Pretty simple interview. If you have no job experience then they wont ask you too many questions about previous responsibilities and such. They make you feel confident and will probably give you the job. It doesn't tale much to be able to work there.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There really weren't any unexpected questions. They might ask for an example of a time when you had to deal with a difficult customer or employee.
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
I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Charlotte, NC)
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.

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)
