Many customers of Panera Bread have vocalized on Twitter that they think the food chain has taken a responsible approach when promoting a safe environment for dining post-COVID-19 outbreak. From checking vaccination cards to offering contactless pickup and curbside delivery, the chain has taken many measures to account for Covid in their restaurants nationwide. While other chains might be becoming more lenient when it comes to required masking, vaccination checking and other policies, Panera announced on February 1st that they would begin providing an entirely contactless-dining option.
This is aimed to help customers feel safe, especially who still fear the possibility of contracting or spreading Covid and its variants. At your local Panera, you might notice this option, which allows you to skip the line, order ahead of time and receive your food when you arrive at the restaurant, all while never having to communicate with another person face-to-face or touch a pager.
