In a move similar to McDonald’s recent announcement of its plans to enter the metaverse, Panera Bread, an American chain of bakery-café fast-casual restaurants, has filed a trademark application to express its intention to enter the metaverse.
The application, titled “Paneraverse,” exposes the company’s plans to create virtual restaurants and real-life food delivery apps, in which NFTs function as a virtual currency to purchase virtual food and drinks.
