Hungry Panera Bread customers in Indiana have new options to save on soup, salads, and sandwiches after the company unveiled its first-ever “Mix & Match” value menu.
The move by Panera follows other fast-food restaurants, like McDonald’s and Taco Bell, who have already added value options of their own. Here’s what to know about the new menu and what you can order.

Panera’s new Mix and Match menu will give customers the option to purchase half a sandwich, half a serving of salad, or a cup of soup, according to a news release emailed to USA TODAY. Customers get the savings when they order two to 10 menu items and get one free side per order.
