Panera Bread, a self-serve kiosk pioneer, has announced that MyPanera members can now order via Alexa on Echo Show devices, according to a press release.
MyPanera members with Echo Show, a smart speaker enabled with a touchscreen featuring Alexa, Amazon’s AI assistant, can place orders via voice or touch without having to open the Panera app.
Members can simply ask Alexa to order their favorite Panera items for pick-up or delivery and the order will be completed.
MyPanera members will need to have an Echo Show device and a stored payment method, and for delivery orders, an address in their MyPanera account. From there, they can ask Alexa to order food from Panera, add items to their order, customize items and check out — all through voice. The experience honors Panera’s Unlimited Sip Club same day redemptions.
