New Year's Day hours are set by each cafe, and some cafes open with shorter hours than usual, so check yours in the Panera app the night before. Holiday mornings can also be busy, which is where ordering ahead helps.
The fix is simple: open the Panera app the night before, place a Rapid Pick-Up order for a time within your cafe's hours, and walk in the next morning straight to the pickup shelf, where your food is labeled and bagged.

If January means eating lighter, the numbers are already sorted. Our Panera nutrition page ranks the menu by calories and protein, and the low-calorie guide picks out the lightest meals, both built from our latest menu snapshot rather than from estimates.
Six things to know before you walk in
Hours on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are set cafe by cafe, and airport and hospital cafes follow their building. Check the app before driving.
Sandwich trays, salads and bakery boxes for a party at home. The notice your cafe needs is shown when you order, so book ahead of New Year's Eve.
A breakfast sandwich and a coffee make a filling start to the year. Each cafe sets when its breakfast menu ends, so check the app for a late morning, and see our breakfast page for calories.
Feeding the house? A Family Feast bundle feeds a group for one price. Our Family Feast guide covers what goes in one and what it costs.
Panera publishes nutrition figures for its menu. Our nutrition page sorts them by calories and protein, so a lighter January meal takes a minute to find.
Order ahead via the Panera app, pick a time, and your food is bagged on the shelf when you walk in. Skip the counter queue on New Year's morning.
New Year's Day hours are set cafe by cafe, and Panera publishes no national holiday timetable. Some cafes open with shorter hours, and cafes in airports or hospitals follow their building, so check your cafe in the Panera app before you go.
New Year's Eve hours are set locally and can be shorter than usual. Check the Panera app for your cafe's closing time on December 31.
There is no New Year menu. Seasonal items change by year and by cafe, so check the Panera app for what your cafe is serving in January.
Yes. Panera's catering menu of sandwich trays, salads and bakery boxes works for a New Year's Eve gathering, and the notice your cafe needs is shown when you order.
It works on any day your cafe is open, within the program's normal rules, which our Sip Club guide explains.
Delivery runs through the Panera app and third-party platforms where your cafe offers it. Holiday mornings can be busy, so allow extra time.
A breakfast sandwich with a coffee is a filling start. Calories and protein for every breakfast item are on our breakfast page, and each cafe sets when its breakfast menu ends.
Panera runs offers through its app from time to time, and any on your account show in the MyPanera Rewards tab. We do not list offers we cannot confirm.
Panera publishes nutrition figures for its menu, which makes planning easier. Our nutrition page and low-calorie guide sort the menu by calories and protein, using our latest menu snapshot.
Open the Panera app, choose your cafe and check the hours shown, or ring the cafe. Our hours page lists the 2026 holiday dates and every cafe's phone number.

Marcus runs this independent guide. Panera publishes no national holiday timetable, so this page gives what to check rather than opening times, and it does not list offers or prices it cannot confirm. Menu prices and nutrition elsewhere on the site come from a snapshot of Panera's own menu records.
Check your cafe's New Year's Day hours in the app, set a Rapid Pick-Up order the night before, and use our nutrition pages to choose a lighter meal for January.
