What preparations should be made in the early stage of opening a children’s bakery shop?
As one of the staple foods in Western countries, bakery products are also growing steadily in the Chinese market. With the improvement of people's living standards, bakery products have become one of the daily necessities of urban consumers. The profits of children's bakery shops are evident. How to master the details and control the overall situation is crucial for the steady development of children's bakery shops. So what preparations should be made for opening a children's bakery shop? Let’s take a look below.
First of all, when opening a children's bakery shop, the appropriate location is a key factor that determines the survival and development of the entire store. It is recommended that baking practitioners pay attention to the following points when selecting a location:
1. Be close to large communities and markets, and have relatively stable consumer groups in the surrounding area.
2. It is close to the school. On the one hand, it is convenient for parents to buy breakfast for their students when they go to school. On the other hand, they can also increase their purchases when their children are out of school.
3. Close to office buildings, shopping malls, stations and other crowded places.
The specific process is as follows:
1. Prepare funds and determine the scale, whether to operate production and marketing integratedly or separately;
2. Prepare technical sources and hire Employees can also do a job themselves;
3. Site selection. Determine whether to open in a business district, downtown area, or residential area;
4. Market research. Conduct a detailed investigation into the regional food market demand, current consumption situation, consumption capacity, citizens' eating habits and industry competition;
5. Feasibility analysis. Are the products and services acceptable to everyone? Is it better than its peers? Where are the opportunities?
6. Evaluate turnover and market share. Determine the scale of investment you are prepared to make, and then estimate the size of the target market. Calculate the number and turnover of competitors, compare your own situation with that of your competitors, and estimate your own turnover and market share;
7. Decorate and apply for licenses. The decoration complies with national regulations. It is best to use warm colors for the facade, which must have its own characteristics without being too fancy.
8. Purchase equipment. There are more and more manufacturers operating equipment in the children's baking industry, so you may wish to seek advice from the headquarters.
9. Design a special, interesting, clear, easy-to-remember and meaningful trademark. It is best to register it to pave the way for building a brand in the future and creating famous brand products;
10. Design products Packaging, packaging must be practical and economical;
11. Purchasing raw materials is a very critical link. You must choose according to the grade of the product you operate, and contact a raw material dealer. In fact, dealers know that you are about to open a business and have come to your door long ago. The selection of raw materials is very critical, as it directly affects the quality of the product. You may wish to choose products from manufacturers such as Happy Town Children's Baking, which have stable product quality and provide after-sales service.
Indispensable equipment for opening a shop
To open your own children’s baking shop, some baking equipment is essential, because you may need to bake hundreds or even thousands every day bakery products. You may have experience baking with children yourself, but be warned, the equipment needed for children's baking is very different from the equipment needed in a children's bakery.
Rack – This is the most important piece of equipment in a children’s bakery. Because, you will need a lot of space to store ingredients, baking sheets, plates and other things. Shelves save you more space.
Baking Equipment – ??Unlike a home mixer, what you need now is a commercial mixer. You can choose a stand mixer or a horizontal mixer according to your needs, but the mixer must have the functions of curling, folding, trimming and sealing. It is best to buy a slicer, which will be much more convenient when making bread and bagels.
Oven – Again, a commercial oven is a must. You can decide how many ovens to prepare based on the number of products you want to make every day. Keep in mind that you will need to make hundreds or even thousands of baked goods in just a few hours.
Kitchen utensils - not only spoons, forks, knives, but also spatulas, measuring cups, cookie cutters, etc. Different baked goods require different tools to prepare, so be sure to use the right tools when making them.
Baking pans – There are many different types of baking pans that need to be prepared, such as pie pans, cake pans, bread pans, etc.
Refrigerator - In the production process of many baked goods, the dough needs to be refrigerated, so the refrigerator is also an indispensable piece of equipment in children's bakery shops. I recommend buying immersion freezers and refrigerators, which are more convenient to use.
Display cabinet - The display of products is to attract more consumers, so it is best to buy a display cabinet so that consumers can see the freshly made baked goods. There are also many types of display cabinets. When purchasing, you should consider the aesthetics and the space of the store.
In addition, our investors also need to update products or launch new flavors in a timely manner according to market development and changes, as well as on-site production, allowing consumers to taste for free, etc., which can also attract a large number of customers. In short , we must continue to innovate marketing methods.
