Panera Bread now offers home or office delivery of its lunch menu in the Federal Way area.

The restaurant will deliver within an eight-minute radius, between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday to Friday. A $5 order minimum and $3 delivery service apply. Visit PaneraBread.com or download the Panera Bread mobile app and for more information on delivery coverage.

Panera delivery orders can be placed up to two weeks in advance.

“We’re excited to offer our guests in Federal Way this new convenience,” said Myrna Schultz, director of marketing, Pan American Group. “Panera delivery makes it easy to enjoy your favorite soup, salad or sandwich at your home or office on days when it’s not convenient to make it into a bakery-cafe.”

For those on the go, another ordering option called Rapid Pick-Up enables guests to place an online or mobile order from their office, car, work or home – again, up to two weeks in advance – and pick up their food at a pre-determined time without waiting in line.

Federal Way-area bakery-cafes are equipped with special “to go” pick-up areas, featuring dedicated seating, an order-status monitor providing real-time information as orders are prepared and completed, and shelf space, all to facilitate easy pick up.
