Panera Bread Corporate Catering Account (CCA)

Anonymous · ‎08-07-2019

There is not alot of information about this on the web but I was wondering if anyone has any experience in obtaining one of these and what the requirements are.

Panera has a great catering service as it's very convenient as they do delivery and we cater with them every so often for our business meetings. Most people would think to just use a biz credit card to pay for the order but I personally would rather have the tradeline if they report. It also helps with our accounting as I'm sure they would send us invoices.

Any thoughts?

Looks like you have to spend $2500 annually and they pull Experian.

Hmm thats not to bad for the $2500 a year. I will reach out to them about the cca and update this post with my experience.

Update:

I reached out to my local cafe and inquired about their corp catering. The lady said she would have her sales manager reach out to me.

2 days later I get a call from her sales manager and she sent over the application which was very easy to fill out.

I asked about the $2500 a year spend requirement and the rep said they dont really enforce that requirement. She told me local churches in the area are corp catering customers and they place maybe 1 or 2 orders a year and still have it. She assured me to not worry about it.

I submitted the app and about 2 weeks later I was approved and got all the info to start placing orders.

They pull Experian

My business is 2 years old and I have 3 reporting tradelines. I also get some good coupons for being a corp customer.

Definitely look into this
