Panera's Main Line-area outposts are listed below:

• Wynnewood – 278 E. Lancaster Ave.
• Radnor – 319 E. Lancaster Ave.
• Tredyffrin – 267 E. Swedesford Road
• Havertown – 116 Township Line Road

• Philadelphia – 3900 City Ave.
• Exton – 151 E. Swedesford Road

To use the service, customers can place an order online at PaneraBread.com or through the Panera Bread app. Enter your zip code for more information on delivery coverage and times in your area. There is a $5 minimum order and a standard delivery fee of $3.50.

The ordering system also integrates with the MyPanera loyalty program, allowing customers to redeem their rewards.

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

Panera also seeks candidates for delivery positions. Interested candidates can visit one of the eight cafes listed above or apply online here.

You can confirm if your local Panera delivers in your area online here.
