I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Panera Bread (New York, NY) in Mar 2017
Interview
I applied and around a week later I got a phone call for an interview. I had my interview 2 days later. I arrived 10 min early. They ask if you would like a drink. My interview was at 11am and I got out at 11:03. It lasted about 5 min. It was very laid back. She asked if I would like to interview with the GM. 2 days later I had the second interview. She showed me around and introduced me to the employees. They didn't smile or talk but she said cause they are just getting busy so their focused. She asked the same questions. She told me about the restaurant. I was offered the job on the spot. I have orientation in 3 days. They start off at $8.75 an hour.

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)
