Panera Bread Minneapolis

I just need to give a huge thumbs up to the Panera catering people. I order food for meetings and gatherings at work quite a bit and it can be kind of hit-or-miss with quality and service (and, believe me, higher price is NOT an indicator of good quality or service). I love Panera, but for some unknown reason, I have never thought to order catering from them before today. I ordered food for 24 people last week for an event today and I am SO pleased with Panera! They called on Monday to let me know that I had ordered a lot of bread (more than I needed), which was nice. Then they called yesterday to confirm everything (taking something off of my to-do list). I realized just before they delivered that I forgot to ask for serving utensils so I ran around to various lunch rooms and break rooms in the building and cobbled together some old spoons and such, but there was no need because they included everything I could possibly need - including extra serving bowls for the bread, apples, etc. Everything was packaged wonderfully (no crushed chips or bread, no spilled salad dressing or lemonade, no dry sandwiches, etc.). Even better - they were on time and everyone was very pleased with the food!!! Seriously, I can't believe I've never used them in the past, but I can guarantee I will use them again in the future! Thanks guys for a job well done!
