How to File Panera Complaints and Get a Speedy Response

Panera Bread Company is an American chain store and café that offers sandwiches, pasta, soups, salads, and bakery items. Although the company endeavors to give its customers the best experience, sometimes, things may go wrong.

If you had a bad experience, you may want to file Panera complaints and get the issue addressed. Maybe you enjoyed their soup, but you feel they could have done better with the sandwich? You may also want to report a rude staff member or file a claim for compensation. But how do you make a complaint about Panera Bread?

• Complete the complaint form at the clerk's office
