Don't they just heat up frozen/pre-made bread? I don't know...just I don't think they have enough room to be a real bakery. Also, corporate financials would have centralized that a long time ago.
- estimator7292 9mo agoNo, subway and panera do the same thing. Fresh premade dough is delivered every night, refrigerated. At Panera, a baker runs it through the oven overnight and finishes baking just before open. Subway throws dough in the oven as needed throughout the day, they have much higher volume. Frozen dough doesn't come out the same, nor does reheated pre-baked bread. It's fresh it just isn't made from scratch there in the store. There's a couple dozen fresh dough facilities scattered throughout the US that serve all of these restaurants that need fresh bread, but without the cost of paying someone to mix flour locally.
- 7thaccount 9mo agoYeah that is basically what I meant, but I should've said refrigerated and not frozen. It is still a far cry from what I would call a bakery.
- pessimizer 9mo agoIt's not a bakery, it's a sandwich shop that bakes bread.
- SoftTalker 9mo agoDomino's does (or did) the same when I worked there. Refrigerated dough delivered from regional commissaries where they make it by the truckload. Some independent pizzarias make their own in the store but I would guess most franchises/chains get it delivered.
- badc0ffee 9mo agoNo, they bake pre-made dough. It's not the greatest, but it's not reheated bread.
- potato3732842 9mo agoPretty much all these franchise chains operate on hub and spoke for their fresh baked stuff. The thing you buy at 6am (or 6pm, lol) was in an oven or a mixer (depending on whether the chain in question is baking on site or at the hub) at 12am that morning and on a truck at 3:30.
