I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Minneapolis, MN) in Apr 2015
Interview
I went through two interviews, a fairly easy process. It took about a month to get a response from the company, but once I did we set up and interview for Monday of the following week. The interviewer was kind and informative, and immediately invited me back for a second interview. The next week I watched another person bake and asked her questions about how she liked the job. The same day a manager spoke to me and asked lots of simple questions.

I answered a few questions with the hiring manager. It was a quick interview, maybe 20-30 minutes. Simple questions about my availability and interest in working for Panera. Hiring manager was very chill.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Auburn, CA) in Sept 2019
Interview
Just a general interview, didn't ask at all about the position I applied for though so that was upsetting. Seemed relaxed but gave no info on when a second interview would happen
