Instruction manual

1

Choose the assortment and price format in which you intend to work. To do this, evaluate the proposals of potential competitors - cafes selling convenience foods and supermarkets with their own shops. Do not bet on too cheap a product from low-grade raw materials. Cooking buyers are interested in a quality product, even if it will cost a little more.

2

It is best to work with meat and confectionery. Do not take up the standard assortment, offer something interesting that will become a feature of your cooking. For example, prepare pre-order banquet dishes, make home-made sausages or offer a large selection of minced meat, poultry and fish. Having decided on confectionery production, master mini-cakes made from natural products, sets of cakes or homemade pies with various fillings.

3

Having picked up the assortment, begin the design of permits. Find a suitable room. You will need workshops for meat processing, washing products, processing eggs, confectionery production, as well as retail space. An ideal place for cooking is the former dining rooms with spacious utility rooms. Engage in the repair of plumbing and sewer systems, as well as ventilation. In older buildings, all this may be in disrepair.

4

Purchase manufacturing equipment. If you are planning a confectionery and meat production, highlight two separate halls for trade. Equip them with refrigerated display cases, counters and retail racks. Take care of the maximum calculation - the more goods on the windows, the more attractive and informative they look.

5

Hire the necessary staff. You will need: technologist, production manager, cooks, auxiliary workers, confectioners. The number of personnel depends on the size of production and the selected assortment. Pay special attention to the staff of the sales area. Provide sellers with complete product information. They should not just give the buyer what is required, but actively sell it.

6

Think advertising policy. You will need a large signboard and information boards inside the store. Print leaflets and booklets, hire promoters to distribute them on the streets. Be sure to scatter leaflets around the mailboxes of neighboring houses and take them to nearby offices.

7

Consider opening another store based on your existing production. You will significantly increase turnover, which means increase profits.
