"Panera Bread holds the highest standards in terms of customer care, and I believe this is care is one of the reasons that Panera regularly holds the top spot for best-performing restaurant stocks. There is also the Panera Bread Foundation, where the organization donates around 100 million dollars in product and cash every year to organizations that help people in need. Panera Bread also builds trust with the community through the Panera Cares restaurant concept, where customers receive Panera products on a 'pay what you can' model. I find all of these efforts incredibly fascinating, and it would be an honor to join Panera and become part of your journey of maintaining success in enlightened business practices."
