THE HIDDEN COST OF GUESSWORK
A busy order book doesn’t always mean a profitable bakery.
When ingredients, labor and overhead live in different notes—or only in your head—it is easy to underprice even your most popular bakes.
Your time gets left out
Shopping, prep, decorating and cleanup are part of the job—even when they are missing from the quote.
Small expenses add up
Packaging, utilities and equipment wear can turn a good-looking sale into very little take-home profit.
