How to open a bread stall

A bread stall in a residential area of ​​the city or just anywhere with high traffic can be an excellent business for a novice entrepreneur - by betting on a high turnover, over time you can achieve increasingly favorable conditions for cooperation with suppliers, bakeries and mini-bakeries.

You will need

• - permission of several departments of local administration;

• - stationary kiosk, new or used;

• - trade equipment (racks, wooden trays, cash register);

• - agreement with several suppliers of bakery products;

• - the seller-seller (one or two replaceable).

Instruction manual

1

Check with the local administration before starting to select a place for the stall where, according to existing rules, you can arrange a point of sale in principle. In some cities, the choice of places for kiosks and stalls is very limited and you have to proceed not from your desires, but from the requirements of the city administration. Having already chosen a specific place, coordinate it with the department of architecture and urban planning and get permission from the department of trade.

2

Evaluate the offers of firms that manufacture stationary kiosks in your city or its environs. If it is possible to order a new kiosk - do it if there is not enough money, agree on the purchase of an already used stall with the owner who is liquidating his outlet. The costs of dismantling and transporting the kiosk in the latter case will most likely have to be borne by you.

3

Equip the kiosk with everything you need, namely the simplest commercial equipment (several racks and wooden trays), as well as a fire alarm. Purchase a cash register, register it in a tax office (if you already have an individual entrepreneur status), conclude an agreement for servicing a cash register. A ready-made outlet should be accepted by employees of the licensing authorities - the Fire Inspection and the Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare.

4

Gather a database of all possible suppliers of bakery and confectionery products (they can complement the range) in your region. Keep in mind that many manufacturers do not work directly with retail outlets, but sell bread to wholesale companies that themselves deliver goods to outlets. It will be more convenient for you to work with wholesalers - although they make an additional margin on the goods, you do not have to arrange the delivery of bread from the factory or from the bakery, and this will greatly facilitate your life.

5

Find a reliable seller in all respects, preferably receiving some recommendations from past employers. An honest and polite seller is the key to the prosperity and well-being of your outlet, it is better to change ten sellers and find a worthy one than to constantly incur losses from the unfair performance of your duties by the first ones that come across.

Useful advice

Having established the work of one point for the sale of bread, try to organize a second, and then a third one - this will help minimize risks and make ever-increasing profits.
