The short answer
The registry records Panera Bread as a possible interpretation of PANERA BREAD. This descriptor-to-company association has not passed claim-level evidence review. Compare the exact line, amount and posted status with your own receipt or account activity; the name alone cannot confirm the merchant or whether you authorized the payment.
The notes below are unreviewed registry explanations, not confirmation of merchant identity, authorization or current policy. Claim-level source review is pending for this entry.
What is the Panera Bread charge?
Unreviewed registry note: A line item showing PANERA BREAD on your credit card or bank statement represents a retail transaction from Panera Bread, a national fast-casual bakery-cafe chain. This charge typically originates from an in-store cafe purchase or a pickup order placed through the Panera mobile app. The descriptor often includes a specific store number or location code corresponding to the physical restaurant that processed your meal.
