Q: Does Panera accept Apple Pay as a payment method?
Yes, Panera takes Apple Pay both online and in stores. They were one of the first companies to embrace this contactless payment method in 2014. At the time that Apple Pay was launched in Panera restaurants, the company’s Chief Technology and Transformation Officer stated the following,
For us, it’s a natural extension of Panera 2.0 which brings together digital ordering, multiple payment options and improved operational processes to deliver an enhanced guest experience.
Even today, there is often uncertain whether a given store/restaurant will accept Apple Pay. However, you can walk into any Panera Breach location and be confident that they will accept Apple Pay as a payment option. The cashier should be well trained on taking Apple Pay transactions to hopefully produced a quick and easy order for you.
