A Guide to Increase Your Bake Shop’s Production
Cakes, muffins, pies, and other baked goods are the perfect choice for special occasions such as birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, or simply as a standalone desert. These confections require talent and proper equipment to produce high-quality products that can satisfy every sweet tooth. Beyond skillful hands, though, a successful bakery needs the right “ingredients” to achieve consistent success.
Use Smart Equipment
Technology helps a lot of businesses to succeed. As a business owner, you need to take advantage of innovative equipment to increase your production while maintaining the quality of your products.
Your basic bakery equipment may include ovens, mixers, and bakeware, like baking sheets, cake pans, and cupcake tins in different sizes. Determine what type of equipment you need for your production needs. One of the most cost effective and beneficial pieces of equipment is a Volumetric piston depositor. These machines are extremely versatile such that they can improve production for a variety of your bakery products. Examples of products include thick icing, chunky fillings, or batters of all consistencies. These machines can be customized for each specific application with a simple 1-minute changeover of dispensing nozzles.
You may also want to invest in energy-efficient machines because these can help you save on utility bills and even receive benefits from the government. You can coordinate with your local officials to know about grants, energy efficiency loans, and rebates.
Consistent Quality Products
Your customers will keep coming back for your sweet treats if you’re consistent with the quality of your products. It’s crucial to stick with the recipe you know your customers enjoy. This will mean a focus on quality control to maintain the flavor of your baked goods.
Part of quality control entails checking your ingredients to ensure that they do not contain anything that might damage your reputation. For instance, check if your flour contains metal objects or if it has pest infestation.
Another check point for quality control is your employees; you’ll need to make sure everyone on your staff has sufficient training in your processes and for using the equipment.
With proper quality control, you can improve not only your products but your yield as well.
Make sure you have a comprehensive safety plan and compliance with all sanitary codes in your area.
Plan Your Business
Starting a business requires a deft hand as one would need when mixing wet and dry ingredients. You need to spend time on research and planning to find the right mix for a successful bakeshop.
