Essential Catering Details for 2026

Everything you need to know about delivery minimums, packaging options, and setup requirements before placing your corporate order.

Delivery & Logistics

  • Order Minimums & Fees

    Most Panera locations require a $50 minimum for delivery. Delivery fees typically range from $15 to $25 depending on your distance from the cafe.

  • Advanced Notice

    For large orders (20+ people) or early breakfast deliveries, 24-hour notice is strongly recommended. However, smaller boxed lunch orders can often be accommodated same-day.

  • Cancellation Policy

    Catering orders can generally be cancelled without penalty up to 2 hours before the scheduled delivery or pickup time.

Packaging & Presentation

  • Boxed Lunches vs. Platters

    Boxed lunches are ideal for off-site meetings or groups with staggered eating times. Platters are more cost-effective for buffet-style setups where guests can mix-and-match halves.

  • Included Supplies

    All catering orders automatically include necessary plates, napkins, and utensils. Soup tubs arrive with serving ladles and bowls.

  • Dietary Labels

    Sandwich platters and boxed lunches are clearly labeled, making it easy to identify vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-conscious options for guests with restrictions.
