Approved Catering from Panera Bread Company        

Panera Bread is an approved catering service for IU campuses*.  Please be aware of the following processes for creating a Panera account, for ordering, and for special services.  These steps are important for both Panera’s ordering and payment process and for making sure IU hospitality and procurement policies are followed.

You must have an established sub-account set up with Panera before you can order. (See Attachment)

To establish an account with Panera for your department:   

  • Email a request to set up a sub-account to both: Jacqui Brunetto at Jacqui.Brunetto@panerabread.com and Abbie Bossom at Abbie.Bossom@parerabread.com.
  • Jacqui or Abbie will provide you with a sub-account application that is to be partially completed by the department, including contact information, delivery address, and the names of those authorized to order from the department. 
  • If a person is not listed, they may not order.  It is the responsibility of the department contact person to keep that list current for Panera.  Updates to the list are emailed to Jacqui and Abbie and may take a day or two to process before the individual is added to the sub-account and approved to order.
  • Once you have completed the department information in the highlighted areas, email the form to Phil Cole or Margie Santner for review and signature.  Purchasing will forward the signed document to Panera Bread for the establishment of the account with a copy to the original department contact.

To Order using an IU account:

 First obtain hospitality approval for the catering.

Second, initiate a requisition for Panera Bread and attach the hospitality approval or code.

  • You may estimate the amount to be encumbered for Panera or use a “not to exceed” amount if you wish.  If required for budget reasons, you may wish to use Panerabread.com and click on “catering,” then “Browse Our Menu” to get pricing for your specific event.   If you need assistance with your Panera order, please contact Jacqui or Abbie for help. 
  •  In the Cart Name field on the “Items” tab, be sure to include the date of service, the delivery time and place and a departmental contact with phone number for the order as well as the order detail.  All of this information can go on a single line with the total cost of the order as unit cost.  It is not necessary to itemize the food order on separate lines. Make sure to include the quantity as part of the description rather than using the Quantity and Unit of Measure to the left of the description field: i.e.  Line 1: Choose ‘no quantity’ from the drop down menu and skip to the description and enter the order per the example below:

 Date of event: [Event date], [Event location] Contact: [Your Name] at [Your Phone Number]

3 The Italian Sandwich Boxed @ $11.19

2 Roasted Turkey, Apple & Cheddar @ $11.19

3 Mediterranean Veggie Boxed @ $9.19

2 Acai Berry Iced Tea – two half gallon @ $9.99 

Unit cost will be the total for all items plus delivery fee.

If ordering for two or more different occasions, a line should be used for each occasion. 

 Note:  Orders must be $50.00 or more to qualify for delivery on the IU corporate account.

 Third, route the requisition.  

  • Once approved by the Fiscal Officer or Delegate, the requisition will route to Purchasing for completion.  Before routing, please remember to add any notes you may require, including a note to the vendor on the vendor tab if you intend to call in the order once you have a PO number.
  •  The finished PO will be emailed by Purchasing to Jacqui and Abbie with a copy to the requisition initiator.  If you wish, once you have the Purchase Order number, you may call Jacquie or Abbie to place or confirm the order. 
  • If you plan to call the Panera location near your campus and place the order yourself, please include a note in “Notes to Vendor” in the Vendor tab that you are placing the order yourself.  You must have a PO number before calling the local café.  This is to avoid orders going directly to the café without a PO number assigned or an IU Foundation process in place. 

 Orders to be paid by IU Foundation 

The authorized individual(s) for the department may call or email Jacqui and Abbie with the IU Foundation order, indicating that no PO will be issued and that the invoice must be emailed directly to the designee to submit for payment to the Foundation.  Please allow Jacqui or Abbie to contact the café to place IU Foundation orders to keep the invoicing process clear for those orders.  Individual café locations do not send invoices, they are generated from a corporate location.
