How to organize a bakery

A private mini-bakery has every chance to compete successfully with large bakeries operating according to one well-established scheme and much less mobile. However, it is worth remembering that even a mini-bakery is a full-fledged production in which professional equipment is used and qualified specialists are involved.

You will need

• -information about the state of the bakery industry in the region;

• -room from 100 square meters;

• - a line of equipment for baking and storing bread;

• -Certificates of conformity for each type of product manufactured;

• - About eight replaceable bakers and packers, a technologist and an accountant.

Instruction manual

1

Carry out a marketing research before deciding to create your own bakery - evaluate the bakery market in your region. If there is a shortage of even standard bakery products on the market, then the green road opens for you and your bakery anyway. If the usual sliced ​​loaves and loaves of wheat bread on the shelves are always there, then it is better to focus on the quality and uniqueness of the products that you will produce.

2

Find a suitable room for the bakery, having examined in detail the requirements of the Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Health and then agreeing on the option that you consider acceptable. Semi-basement rooms, rooms that do not have a ventilation system or are not connected to the central sewer system are not suitable for your purposes. Both production zones (the baking zone and the packaging zone), as well as the storage room must be clearly separated from each other - this is also a strict requirement of permitting organizations.

3

Purchase basic and auxiliary equipment for the production of bread. Experienced market players are advised to invest so far only in imported equipment manufactured in Western Europe. By purchasing an expensive line of more automated equipment for baking bread, you can even save on salaries for bakery personnel, since fewer people will be needed to work.

4

Hire a technologist with experience specifically in the bakery industry, and not just in the food industry. You will need at least two replaceable bakers and packers for each shift. The bakery cannot do without an accountant, while the functions of the supply and distribution manager at first are usually performed by the entrepreneur himself.

Useful advice

For the sale of bakery products, establish business relations with one of the wholesale companies that buy bread from producers and sell it to retail outlets - it will be too troublesome to transport bread to shops on your own.
