The interviewer would like a concrete reason as to why you are the top choice candidate. Think of the most unique and stand-out qualities that you will bring to the interview, and why these qualities will benefit Panera Bread, should you be hired. Be sure to avoid cliche responses such as, 'I pay close attention to detail.' Instead, choose tangible qualities that focus on a pain point that you can solve for the company. Rely on your past achievements for an actionable response.
When it comes to hiring decisions, a company will choose the person that they believe will help them to solve a problem or a pain point. By clearly discussing how you will solve Panera Breads' most significant needs, you are positioning yourself as the top choice candidate.

"I understand that Panera Bread is seeking a Restaurant Manager with a proven ability to lead a team of front of house team members. You seek a leader who can properly train, motivate, and encourage a boost in sales numbers while providing the tools for each team member to deliver peak customer service. My experience, and past results, align very well with this need. I am an experienced customer service trainer, having trained over 50 front of house service teams in my career. I am a passionate leader and mentor who is very hands-on and approachable. I would love to bring these skills and traits to Panera Bread."
