Panera's fix for everything that went wrong is . . . stuffing salad into bread
""We test, we learn, we iterate," says CEO Paul Carbone, highlighting the methodical approach taken in developing the new Salad Stuffers."
"Panera will invest $100 million more in its company-operated cafés in 2026, aiming to enhance food quality and support menu innovation."
Panera Bread is launching 'Salad Stuffers,' a new menu item that features salads stuffed in Italian-style rolls instead of traditional bread bowls. This innovation follows extensive testing of various breads to achieve the desired texture. The initiative aligns with a broader strategy to increase ingredient variety in salads, moving from an average of five to nine ingredients. CEO Paul Carbone emphasizes a methodical approach to testing and iterating menu items as part of a turnaround plan after previous operational missteps.
