About Panera Bread
We are Panera Bread
And we believe that good food, the food you can feel good about, can bring out the best in all of us. Food served in a warm, welcoming environment, by people who care. To us, that’s good eating and that’s why we’re here.
Panera began in 1980 as a cookie store in Boston, Massachusetts, and is now a leading restaurant brand with more than 2,100 bakery-cafes in the United States and Canada, 140,000 associates, and annual systemwide sales in the billions. Our success has been fueled by one thing: our unending desire to bring to life fresh ideas about living and eating well. We want our guests to know the joys of great food served by people who truly care. We want them to have the food they crave, when they want it, how they want it, where they want it; and we have never stopped innovating to do just that.
We are inspired by our mission and purpose in everything we do: “One Panera for a Healthier and Happier World.” We believe in serving delicious, freshly prepared, clean dishes made with carefully selected ingredients that we would be proud to serve our own families. Our menu, crafted by chefs and bakers, features classic, comforting dishes, each with an intriguing twist. We respect our planet and take measures to lessen our impacts. We believe in treating people with warmth, kindness, and respect, whether it’s a guest in our cafe or one of our associates. We believe in helping our local communities, especially in times of need.
Today, Panera is leading the industry in clean food, digital sales, loyalty, delivery, and catering. We opened our 2,000th cafe in 2016 and we’re not slowing down.

Clean, Fresh Ingredients Selected for Quality
We’ve often been asked why we’re obsessed with clean food. Clean simply means we don’t fill our pantry with artificial preservatives, sweeteners, and flavors, along with colors from artificial sources that are detailed on our No-No List. It’s because we believe clean food tastes better, allowing the freshness, quality, flavors, and craft to shine through. At the end of 2020, Plant-based dishes accounted for 25% of our menu. In the coming years, our long-term aspiration is to have a menu where half of our entrees are Plant-based, starting with one new option in every menu category.
Respect for the Planet
In October 2021, Panera Bread committed to becoming Climate Positive by 2050. Panera will set a Science-Based Target (SBT) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions throughout our operations and within our supply chain. Our work has already begun and includes projects such as creating low-carbon Cool Food Meals, investing in more efficient equipment, and shrinking our packaging footprint.
