Who knew the makers of tasty bread bowls would be at the forefront of technology and stellar app design. But whether we’re ordering from home (or from the table), we’re delighted by how easy it is to customize our meal and check out with Apple Pay.

I absolutely love the Rapid Order pickup option. As someone with a short lunch break, I have little time for standing in line then waiting for my order. As someone who hates making phone calls to place orders, the no-human-contact aspect is wonderful! However, I've had several issues with inaccuracies in my orders, and I wish there was a way to send an email about them as well. It seems counterintuitive to create an app for people who obviously dislike placing order phone calls but to require a call to fix issues. To date I've paid for several items I didn't receive, and frankly I'll give up on going to Panera before I start making complaint calls every other order.Later update: I really wish they’d update the app to display the *closest* locations rather than the most frequent. Lunch is a busy time, and sending an order to a restaurant 50 miles away by accident is an expensive mistake I’ve made twice now. My fault, yes, but both times it was because I was in a hurry and the app defaulted to my last order location and I didn’t notice.

Poorly designed app, up-to-date features missing..

Whoever made this app an ‘editors choice’ either lacks knowledge or did not spend much time testing it.For example, when it comes to payment cards / gift cards connected to the app account, there is a ‘current balance’ but no account sheet showing purchase and resulting balance history. You need a sheet of paper to keep track of the accounting. Starbucks and Dunkin’ do that better.The GUI is cumbersome and looks convoluted and dated. ‘Profile Settings’ for example has 9 menu entries, e.g. ‘past orders’, ‘payment cards’ etc but you have to log into each of those settings separately. I kid you not: you click on ‘payment and gift cards’ and have to log in to check you balance. You go back and click on ‘past orders’ and you have to login again. You write down the charged amounts and go back to the ‘payment cards total’ and you have to login again. (I am an IT Project Manager and have seen my share of badly designed software, but this is way up there..)And even though a payment card is connected to the account, when I used it at the Panera Store register the total card balance was updated in the app, but the purchase was not listed - the person at the register suggested to go online and type in the receipt data and request to get it manually updated.Sorry you ‘editors choice’ award judges - other store apps are way ahead in user friendly design, speed, feature rich design and interactivity with smart devices.

Every single thing in this app slows you down.

Every single thing that happens in this app is animated, it slides and moves and brings up an ad or some other information, literally EVERY single time you do anything. It’s actually really funny. My husband is so well-known app developer and I showed it to him and he just laughed and laughed. it takes so long to use this app it is literally funny. As my husband says this is like the amazing example of how you do NOT make an app. It’s not unreasonable that they bring up ads to try to sell you extra things but it would be so easy to do that without literally slowing you down as you’re trying to give the money. And it’s not just the ads, literally every single button you press like when you tap OK or something there are two or three other extra steps where they show you an amazing colored animation or a photo or something and then usually it again ask you are you sure you wanted to take that button and so on. The ad is like an incredible display of animations and such, it’s like watching a video clip or something from Pixar.!!! Once again my husband says it’s hilarious that you were literally trying to GIVE THEM MONEY and the app slows you down at every single step. This is not useable by a busy mom. Of course everyone loves Panera but, well if you want to have a laugh try using this app
