Get your Panera Bread order, delivered or ready for pickup under your name, for less than the app charges: a seller who holds a Panera Bread gift card places it for you with the card, and escrow pays them only once you have the food. Panera cards trade at roughly 10–15% off.

How Panera Bread orders work here

The seller orders on panerabread.com or in the app with their gift card — Rapid Pick-Up under your name, or delivery by Panera's own drivers where available. Panera takes a phone number on delivery orders, so yours goes on it.

Panera schedules both pickup and delivery times; slots are the normal way to order.

Who the courier calls

Panera's delivery takes your number on the order; pickup orders sit on the Rapid Pick-Up shelf under the name you gave.

What you pay

Typical Panera Bread orders: a You Pick Two lunch, a bagel pack, a catering order. You pay the app's total minus the discount you pick, plus a 2.5% fee, from your FlipGift balance. The food hub has the whole flow, step by step, and how tips, fees and substitutions are settled.
