How to open a mini bakery. Obligatory points of the project being drawn up. Bakery franchise

For a mini bakery to become a profitable business, you need strict calculations, taking into account risks and prospects, analyzing the market, and setting up sales. High competition in this area has become a serious obstacle for those wishing to make their way.

Large bakery factories, bakeries in supermarkets have securely secured their sales markets. However, there are some unaffected options that will be a good chance to open your own small profitable business.

Own mini bakery: risks

It is simply necessary to assess all possible risks in order to protect yourself from funds:

• The prices of bread as a category of goods of social importance are controlled by the state. For a business to be profitable, this feature must be taken into account.
• More than 90% of the bread consumed is baked by large enterprises. First, high production volumes can significantly reduce the unit cost of any product. Secondly, almost the entire market is occupied by large production leaders.
• The need for quick implementation. As you can imagine, the bread must be fresh. We'll have to try to ensure that all products are sold within 24 hours. This difficult task can be solved by concluding contracts with small shops.
• High requirements on the part of regulatory organizations: fire safety, sanitary condition, etc.
• At the initial stage, it will not be cheap: premises, equipment, obtaining permits, paperwork. The payback period for such an enterprise is up to three years.
• Delivery of products requires a special transport equipped with shelves with trays. This is also an additional cost item.

Given the listed difficulties, you should seriously weigh your decision before investing in a mini-bakery.

Can a Mini Bakery Become a Profitable Business?

Here, of course, its location is of great importance. Distance to places of sale, the amount of salaries to employees (in the village, traditionally, salaries are lower). In addition, it is worthwhile to think carefully about the type of bakery products that can overcome serious competition. Actually, for the successful development of the enterprise you will need:

1. Sell ​​products in settlements remote from large factories (small villages and towns)
2. Conclude contracts with small shops located far from supermarkets
3. Bake special products: they are of high quality, unusual taste, shape, etc.
4. Control the price level. To reduce the cost, you need to find suppliers of raw materials who agree to work with you at favorable wholesale prices.

But if you love what you do, you can compete even with large manufacturers. The smell of fresh bread and fragrant buns will attract buyers, and if the product is really high-quality and tasty, it will be possible to sell it even at a slightly above average price.

The main items of expenses for a mini bakery:

• Electricity
• Raw materials: flour, butter, eggs, fillers
• Transport
• Wage
• Tax

The price is formed depending on the type of bakery products (particularities of the recipe). The cost of goods, excluding depreciation of equipment, is usually 60-80% less than the selling price. It is necessary to conduct pricing in this way so that the product is in demand, and the profit from its sale is enough to cover current expenses (purchase of raw materials, payment of electricity, salaries, etc.) and repayment of the cost of equipment.

In this material:

Before you start working out a bakery business plan, you should decide on its form. What will it be - a full-fledged industrial enterprise with hundreds of jobs or a small bakery? Experts suggest starting with small bakeries, and then you can scale up the business by organizing large industrial production.

Business difficulties in this area

The main difficulties of the project in the field of bakery products are seen as high competition and the need to quickly respond to changes in consumer demand. Even 20-30 years ago, there were not very many varieties of bread products, so it was quite easy to satisfy consumer demand. Moreover, in the Russian hinterland, queues were lined up for ordinary bread. But now the situation is completely different.

In any city bakery, you can count a dozen different types of bread, not to mention other products. It will not work to surprise with the production of only a few types of products.

Another important point is the desire of local authorities to regulate the cost of these products as the most socially significant. Such attempts to intervene on the part of the state have a negative impact on production. And although in 2015 a number of such decisions of the subjects of the federation were declared illegal by the antimonopoly committee, a steady trend is still visible.

Suffice it to look at neighboring Ukraine, where the state is making progress in this direction. But this led to the fact that 2/3 of the bakeries went into the shadows, otherwise they are forced to close. As a result, everyone loses - the producer, the consumer and, in fact, the state itself.

Bakery instead of a bakery

Why start with small bakeries? Firstly, such a project makes it possible not to make large investments. The company will be able to feel the needs of the market by releasing a small amount of products, thereby reducing the risk of operating at a loss to zero.

Secondly, a bakery is a more flexible structure that can quickly adjust to current demand and find new niches that are not occupied. In a plant that has a very highly mechanized entire process, any change will require serious staff efforts. And this is time, labor and financial losses.

How profitable and expedient is it to open a bakery? The answer to this is given by the fact that among European countries Russia is the only one in which bread delivery is organized to some regions and districts. As a result, part of the population knows about hot bread only by hearsay, since it comes to them already cooled down.

Preparatory work and search for premises

Before investing, you need to work hard to identify customer needs. You will have to collect information in different places, but most of all you will have to work with sellers who directly encounter consumers and can point to the positions that are in the greatest demand.

After collecting this information, you can already make a list of the proposed assortment. It is best to pre-test the baked goods and place them on the market. This will make it possible to carry out test measurements. If a niche is found, recipes for all planned products must be certified.

Certification of every product that will be placed on the market is mandatory. This procedure made it unnecessary to obtain a license and increased the requirements for the quality of bakery products. It's important to know! The certification procedure can take up to three months, so you need to start with it before starting production.

As soon as the issue with the produced assortment is resolved, you need to start looking for premises. In this case, you need to take into account the following points:

1. Will the products be sold from the bakery itself or are they planned to be exported to retail outlets?
2. What equipment will be purchased for the enterprise?

If the sale will be carried out directly from the bakery, the premises should be "walk-through" and be located in a place of large gathering of people. When planning to sell products from retail outlets, the premises can be moved to any area of ​​the city or outside of it, but then transport costs must be taken into account.

As for the equipment, its minimum set will require an area of ​​about 100 m 2. This kit includes:

• proofing cabinet;
• molding and kneading machine;
• bake;
• rounder;
• sift flour.

In the case when all this equipment is purchased as a single complex, the size of the room can be significantly smaller - up to 60 m 2. It's important to know! In addition to certifications, it will be necessary to coordinate the arrangement and location of the enterprise with the SES and the fire service. According to the norms that are presented by the SES, baking of bread cannot be carried out in basements. In addition, it is necessary to provide for the presence at the enterprise:

• running water supply;
• staff toilet;
• ventilation systems;
• warehouse for storing raw materials.

Please note that the workshop in which the products are baked, the packing workshop and the warehouse must be located separately from each other.

What investments will be required?

The minimum set of equipment included in it is indicated above. It will cost 4 million rubles and more. The stove will cost 600 thousand rubles and more. Good brands of foreign manufacturers cost around 1 million rubles and more. For example, German stoves cost over 2 million rubles. But such models are resistant to high loads, capable of producing up to 1.5 tons of finished products per day.

In addition to production equipment, you will also need commercial equipment. It includes:

• cash register;
• showcase;
• cabinets for storing products;
• a safe in which documents and cash will be kept;
• furniture and household equipment.

All this will have to spend about 200 thousand rubles. Rent of premises (industrial and retail) will cost 50-80 thousand rubles. per month. You will have to pay immediately for at least three months - 140-240 thousand rubles.

If delivery is meant (and in most cases you cannot do without it), you will have to buy a Gazelle, and this is another 350 thousand rubles. Taking into account unforeseen expenses and repairs of the premises, the initial costs can reach 5-5.5 million rubles.

How to organize the work?

With the preliminary work carried out, test measurements made that will show the level of demand for certain bakery products, it remains to recruit personnel for the production of bread and establish sales. Both tasks are not as trivial as they might seem at the very beginning.

An ordinary person from the street cannot be a baker. Carrying out the task entrusted to him requires professionalism, the work is very difficult, and its remuneration is low. The baker receives a salary of 18-25 thousand rubles. The same level of salary for the technologist who controls the production process.

All you need:

• baker - 2 people if production is carried out during the day, and 4 people - if at night;
• technologist - 1 person;
• a packer who controls the absence of foreign objects in products - 1 person;
• loader - 1-2 people;
• cleaner - 1 person;
• driver - 1 person.

The wage fund (WF) will amount to 150-200 thousand rubles. per month. Having recruited personnel and launching production, it is worth already having ready-made outlets for sale. It is not at all necessary to open them on your own, although this will only contribute to the progress of the project and increase the profitability of bread production. We are talking about contracts concluded with chain stores, supermarkets and other retail outlets. You can try to sell products through kiosks, but they, as a rule, are opened for some kind of active production of bakery products, they do not need competitors' products.

Implementation must be taken very seriously. It would be a mistake to think that the smell of hot fresh bread will sell it itself. This is true if only 50-100 kg of bakery products need to be sold per day. But if you want to sell 1.5 tons or more, the smell alone will not be enough - marketing and marketing again.

To open your own outlets, you do not need to rent a kiosk or open a store. You can reduce the cost of this process and organize trading on wheels. A specially equipped bread van can be rented or leased, which will reduce the cost of business development.

Hidden moments

Despite the fact that bread is always in demand, its consumption in Russia has dropped significantly to 250 g per person per day. Until a few decades ago, this value was three times higher. Affects the abundance of various food products, which are indirectly competitors of bread production.

In addition, large cities and the capital are simply oversaturated with this production, there are dozens of factories and hundreds of bakeries. Together, this led to the fact that the profitability of this business dropped from 50% to 7-15%. This means that at a monthly cost of 400 thousand rubles, the owner will receive a net profit of 40-70 thousand rubles.

The way out of this situation can be the search for solutions in which the sale of a large number of products will be established. Selling from wheels is just one such solution.

Experimenting with recipes, purchasing cost-effective equipment - all these can significantly increase profitability, but such decisions must be made even at the planning stage of the project.

People will always eat. Therefore, some businessmen are considering running their own business exclusively in the field of public catering. Fast food points of sale are growing like an avalanche. There are two options for development in this direction: buying a ready-made franchise or implementing your own concept.

The second option is preferable. A "raw" business model will require a lot of effort from an entrepreneur, but it also has its advantages. For example, there is no need to pay a lump-sum fee and royalties. Starting a mini bakery is a good idea for your own business.

Is it profitable to run a bakery?

Yes, it's profitable. This business is distinguished by profitability at the level of 50-60% and constant demand. The bonus is mobility. The business owner can change the range of products and adapt to the demand. This will allow you to quickly meet customer needs without incurring additional costs. With a decrease in public interest in baguettes or exotic breads, you need to reorient yourself to the manufacture of confectionery and puffs.

The diagram is based on information from Rosstat. At the same time, industry experts predict an increase in the share of bakeries in supermarkets and small private enterprises to 20 and 16%, respectively. Another tendency is also noticeable. The population of Russia is increasingly interested in "European" bakery products: ciabatta and baguettes.

Stages of opening a mini-bakery

Starting a business takes place in several stages. This applies to entrepreneurs developing their own model. When buying a franchise, most of the organizational tasks are shifted onto the shoulders of the partner. A dilemma arises: on someone else's project, or is it to "spin" your own? Better to take the second path. Before launching his own model, a businessman must draw up a clear step-by-step plan. You need to follow it strictly. It looks like this:

• Business registration.
• Selection of premises.
• Equipment purchase.
• Search for personnel.
• Purchase of raw materials.
• Establishing distribution channels.

Business registration

There are many forms of running your own business. For aspiring entrepreneurs who do not operate with large capital, two are suitable:

• limited liability company;
• individual entrepreneurship.

Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages. Weigh the pros and cons in advance. This approach will help to avoid a lot of mistakes and problems in the future.

Entity

This form of doing business is especially suitable for those who work in partnership with other citizens. Future preferences are distributed depending on the share of participation of each founder in the authorized capital of the company. It is more difficult to register an LLC. To register with the tax authority, you must provide:

1. Charter.
2. Founding agreement (if the company has 2 or more founders).
3. Minutes of the meeting of founders.
4. Application for state registration.

It is necessary to additionally open a current account and form the authorized capital. The registration authorities also require the submission of documentation to the legal address of the company, for example, a letter of guarantee from the owner of the premises. The state duty for opening an LLC is 4 thousand rubles. On average, the registration time (taking into account the collection and preparation of documentation) takes 1 month.

SP

Everything is simpler here. A businessman is required to fill out a corresponding application in the P21001 form, pay a state duty (800 rubles) and provide a copy of the passport. After receiving the registration certificate, the next step in the plan is the choice of the taxation system. A simplified system is perfect for an individual entrepreneur. There are two options:

• 6% of income.
• 15% of the difference between income and expenses.

The first type is easier for calculations, but in the case of high monthly costs, the second is also applicable.

Important: the difference between an individual entrepreneur and an LLC lies in the form of responsibility. An entrepreneur, in case of problems with activities, risks all his property, and a limited liability company only risks the amount of the authorized capital. For newcomers to the business, it is recommended to open an individual entrepreneur.

Selection of premises

For a mini-bakery, choosing the right space is a key step in the plan. The main criterion is permeability. The turnover of an enterprise directly depends on traffic. There are 3 accommodation options for this type of business:

1. Rent in a shopping mall.
2. Pavilion at the stopping point.
3. The apartment is on the first floor of a residential building.

Each species has advantages and disadvantages. A detailed comparison will help determine the final choice.

Rent in TC

There are many advantages. For example, a businessman does not need to be checked by the fire inspection, since this has already been done by the owner of the premises. The rental fee (from 300 rubles / m2) directly depends on the popularity of the shopping center and the line of the bakery's location inside the hall. This is what is considered the most affordable for aspiring entrepreneurs. The disadvantages include:

1. Adjustable operating mode.
2. Competition within the shopping center itself (sometimes several IPs of the same orientation are located in one complex).
3. Expansion problems in the future.
4. Limited power grid capacity.

The low price eliminates these disadvantages. Therefore, it is not uncommon for merchants to locate their business there.

Bus stop pavilion

This type of activity requires serious investments. The price for the production of the pavilion reaches 6-12 thousand rubles / m2. The problem also lies in coordinating the location of the mini-bakery with the city administration. It will not be possible to simply establish production at a bus stop with high traffic. The entrepreneur independently obtains permission from the SES and the fire inspection, negotiates with power engineers on the allocated capacity and connection to the network. The advantage is self-regulation of the operating mode. Some shopping malls open only from 9 am, while the pavilion schedule can be set independently, taking into account the intensity of the flow during the day.

Ground floor apartment

This way of doing business is not suitable for business beginners who do not have great financial resources. The advantages are the same as those of the pavilion at the stopping point; the disadvantages include the high cost of doing business. In a city with a population of over one million, the rent on the first floor of a residential building does not drop below 30 thousand rubles. This negatively affects the profitability of the business.

Important: from personal experience, entrepreneurs advise to be accommodated in pavilions at a bus stop; at the start of work, rent in a shopping center is also suitable.

Equipment purchase

A mini-bakery will require different equipment. The choice can be made only after setting the baking range. The basic set includes:

1. Convection oven.
2. Proofing cabinet.
3. Dough mixer.
4. Flour sifter.
5. Stainless steel tables.
6. Dough forming machine.

All equipment is conventionally divided into two types: domestic and imported. The difference between the two lies in price and functionality. Showcases, refrigerator, cash desk are not included in the list. In this case, we are talking only about the specific inventory for the preparation of bakery products.

Imported

In the bakery business, Italian convection ovens are popular. They differ in build quality and variability of operating modes. Manufacturers give extended warranties for many models. The equipment is expensive. When drawing up a financial plan, this expense item will become the main one.

Domestic

It is not uncommon for bakers to have complaints about the build quality of equipment. The final functionality of domestically produced equipment also raises doubts. The low cost will allow you to open it, but in general, over time, the furnaces will have to be replaced with imported ones.

Important: You can additionally save when looking for used equipment. Sometimes this is the only solution for newcomers to bakery.

Attracting staff

Cadres are everything. A hackneyed phrase, but relevant for any business. The mini-bakery was no exception. The success of an enterprise directly depends on the quality of personnel training. All bakery employees must have health records and periodically undergo a medical examination. Ignoring this requirement will lead to penalties and business closure.

Whom to hire?

To organize a bakery you will need:

1. Manager.
2. Technologist.
3. Minimum 4 bakers with vendor functions.

The entrepreneur himself often becomes the manager. It is economically unprofitable to hire a separate accountant for reporting purposes. It is better to outsource the solution of these tasks to outsourcing companies.

Important: it is impossible to use the services of third-party specialists without the conclusion of contractual obligations.

Where to look?

There are many options for finding employees. These include:

1. Labor exchange.
2. Internet.
3. Acquaintance.

It is recommended to act in several directions at once. To reduce costs at the initial stage, workers with no experience are sometimes considered. Such a technique is possible provided that the entrepreneur himself understands the basic technological processes. Often, bakeries are the second simple step - making cakes to order.

Salary fund

Important: with a fixed wage, the financial fund is formed with a margin of 2-3 months.

Purchase of raw materials

The purchase of products for subsequent processing must be carried out taking into account the capacity of the mini-bakery itself. You cannot save on quality; in the future, this will directly affect the demand among the population. Customers will quickly appreciate the drop in taste characteristics and simply stop buying the product. The preparation of bakery products is carried out in two ways:

1. From basic raw materials.
2. From semi-finished products.

Each business model has advantages and disadvantages. When drawing up an opening plan, you need to take into account and consider both options.

From basic raw materials

This method is cheap, since the entrepreneur independently searches for suppliers and selects the terms of the contract. The added value is maximized. If prices fluctuate at one wholesale base, you should start cooperation with other companies. The quality of bakery products directly depends on the established technological process and recipes.

From semi-finished products

When starting a mini-bakery, beginners often choose ready-made semi-finished products as raw materials. This is especially true for enterprises focused on the production of puffs. With this approach, businessmen also save on equipment (the need for a kneader, flour sifter and a dough forming machine disappears by itself). Costs for starting a business are reduced. But there are also disadvantages. The technologist cannot control the quality of the product. Suppliers do not warn about changes in the recipe for the preparation of semi-finished products. Buyer dissatisfaction will translate into a decrease in demand and profitability.

How to establish distribution channels?

The formation of sustainable demand is the basis for the success of any business. The statement is also typical for a mini-bakery. The main flow of customers is generated by natural traffic. Therefore, it is important to choose the right location for the enterprise. Non-standard moves will also help to increase the speed. For example, some start-up entrepreneurs enter into contracts for the delivery of finished bakery products directly to the addressee. In the future, such a clientele will bring a significant share of the income. Therefore, contacts with counterparties should be maintained constantly. Correctly drafted will help to reach customers.

Do not forget about outdoor advertising. Placing a sign on the facade of the building is agreed with the administration of the TC. Owners of their own pavilions have much more freedom of action in this matter. Some cities have strict requirements for the architectural appearance. The nuance is taken into account without fail.

An increase in demand is also observed in trade via the Internet. To form such a sales channel, you will need to develop a website, hire a manager to receive incoming applications and conclude an agreement with a courier service. Delivery is sometimes carried out independently - in this case, the purchase and maintenance of the car should be included in the expenditure part of the plan. will help reduce the cost of contacting web developers.

Bakery business plan

Drawing up the final financial model is a complex and responsible process. Prices for opening a mini-bakery vary greatly. In case of insufficient funding and the need to strictly monitor all costs, it is recommended to use only equipment from local manufacturers and rent premises directly in the shopping center. The main aggregate spending will look like this.

1. Production equipment:
   • convection oven - 30 thousand rubles;
   • proofing cabinet - 32 thousand rubles;
   • dough mixer - 32 thousand rubles;
   • flour sifter - 25 thousand rubles;
   • dough-forming machine - 92 thousand rubles;
   • stainless steel tables (2 pcs.) - 4 thousand rubles;
   • refrigerator - 10 thousand rubles;
   • other (knives, etc.) - 10 thousand rubles.
2. Retail store equipment:
   • cash desk - 12 thousand rubles;
   • acquiring - 20 thousand rubles;
   • refrigerated confectionery showcase - 57 thousand rubles;
   • usual showcase - 5 thousand rubles.
3. Design and advertising:
   • street pavement sign - 2 thousand rubles;
   • signboard - 2 thousand rubles;
   • decoration, staff clothing - 7 thousand rubles.
4. Renovation of the premises(without hiring third-party organizations) - 20 thousand rubles.

These costs are basic. It is also necessary to take into account the monthly expenses for rent (for TC). The minimum price of the retail space is 300 rubles / m2, the construction of the pavilion will cost from 6 thousand rubles / m2, while the lease of land is agreed with the administration of the settlement in advance. The salary fund of employees is not included in the baseline values, since the piece-rate system of payment is implied. For individual entrepreneurs, you need to take into account the need to make annual payments to the Pension Fund.

Summing up

A mini bakery business is costly. The average payback of the enterprise comes after 6-8 months of work. The final figure depends on traffic, product range and quality. Marketing policy also plays a key role. Entrepreneurs select, scrupulously and carefully, but this is far from a panacea.

Success will come with an established customer feedback system. The manager is required to have a clear control over all business processes - right down to identifying the needs and preferences of customers. This approach will make it possible to gain a confident advantage and scale up activities (for example, by increasing the number of outlets).

Bakery and confectionery products are always in demand, these products are regularly bought by all segments of the population. If you draw up a competent business plan and organize the business correctly, a bakery, even in a mini-format, can become a highly profitable business.

Mini bakery at home

A bakery from scratch can be opened in several formats:

• full cycle workshop;
• specially equipped part of the kitchen.

The choice should depend on the expected production technology, scale and desired assortment. A mini-bakery at home can work in full (includes all stages of bread production) or incomplete cycle (when products are baked from frozen semi-finished products). If the first option is chosen, then a minimum of 80-90 m² of area will be required. Bakeries of this format, as a rule, produce branded confectionery products, form a wide range of bakery products with a capacity of 120-150 kg / hour. Owners get the opportunity to control the production process, independently form an assortment.

If you open a bakery operating in an incomplete cycle format, you can easily create a wide range of products, they are characterized by zero waste, clean production. Even 35-40 m² will be enough for work. The capacity of such a small enterprise will be enough to produce 0.2-5.0 tons of bread per day. The advantage of such an organization of work is that there is no need to purchase raw materials for making dough. It is simple and convenient to use the equipment; no additional complex technical devices are required. The influence of the human factor is also significantly reduced, the amount of finished products is much easier to control.

How to start a mini bakery from scratch?

For example, a culinary additive made from rye flour and thermally processed malt gives baked goods a dark color, special taste and aroma. Also, the mixtures extend the shelf life, improve the quality of products and allow you to optimize the production technology (dry sourdough helps the bread rise not in 3, but in 1 hour). In addition, their consumption is very small.

How much does it cost to open a bakery?

On average, to open a full-cycle mini-bakery from scratch, you will need 1,500,000 rubles. with a production volume of 45,000 kg per month. To increase sales, you may need assistants (main workers - 4, specialists - 2, office workers - 2, auxiliary workers - 4), which makes the costs high. It is also important to be guided by the prices of equipment, the average price:

• oven (900 thousand rubles);
• dough mixing machine (380 thousand rubles);
• proofing cabinet (60 thousand rubles);
• dough sheeter (30 thousand rubles);
• baking cart (15-19 thousand rubles);
• dough cutting table (60 thousand rubles);

Electricity costs are on average 75 thousand rubles. (18,000 kW) per month. Also, monthly expenses include renting premises - in the region of 10-15 thousand and the purchase of raw materials (with a volume of 1500 kg of products, about 500 thousand rubles will be needed). It is important to take into account the cost of auxiliary materials (packaging film, labels) - about 40 thousand. The net profit under such a project will be about 125 thousand rubles. and it will pay off on average in 12 months. The higher the permeability of the outlet, the greater the profit will be.

If you open a bakery in your home kitchen, the costs, of course, will be lower, the purchases of raw materials are made in lower volumes, but the productivity will also decrease, and the payback period will increase.

The bakery business is considered one of the most highly profitable. Experts say that with any forecast of market development, its profitability cannot fall below 25%. The largest segment of this market is occupied by mass products (bread, bagels, rusks, confectionery), in second place are non-traditional offers (lavash), followed by dietary baked goods and 5% of the market belongs to elite products. It is in the latter segment that a mini-bakery can make itself known best of all by offering a customer a unique product and reasonably form a high mark-up.

Home bakeries, in which a minimum of capital is invested, will pay off a little longer.

Bakery as a business - reviews

Denis:
The bakery has been operating for the seventh year. And, despite the difficulties, I am satisfied. During the work, it was necessary to transfer production 3 times and change the location of the outlet. Most of the items in the assortment are baked pastry pies with different fillings, puff pastry products. I can easily sell about 2500 units through several dozen stores.

Igor:
Several years ago, I managed to open a mini-bakery at home, but it did not work out. Disappointed and was already counting the losses. But on the advice of a friend, he closed for a while, together with the specialists he drew up a business plan, corrected the mistakes and restarted production. For a year now I have been working for myself and I consider opening a mini-bakery a profitable business (if you approach it competently and form a sales market in advance).

Natalia:
Its own mini-bakery at home has been operating for the second year, but the problem of sales remains urgent. It seems that she thought over and calculated everything, but this moment is still not fully resolved. Probably, it was worth giving it more attention at the start and working according to the business plan, and not blindly. But I am still happy with the earnings, there are many regular buyers who even come to the house.

For you need register an individual entrepreneur... This form of ownership is faster and cheaper to register, and bookkeeping is simplified.

Basic codes OKVED: 10.71.1.- "Production of bread and bakery products of short storage", as well as 10.71.2. - "Production of flour confectionery products, cakes and pastries of short storage."

To be able to sell baked goods directly at the location of the workshop, specify the encoding 55.30. "Activities of restaurants and cafes."

Other documents required for a mini-bakery

• Sanitary report from Rospotrebnadzor. To obtain it, it is necessary to order an examination, that is, an inspection of the production process and the finished product;
• Certificate of compliance with state quality standards. Issued by the Federal Agency for Technical Regulation and Metrology. For instance, for bread, it is necessary to comply with the requirements of GOST 26985-86- "Russian Bread";
• Work permit from the fire inspection.

Registration of documents and licenses should be entrusted to specialized firms. Then it will take a month and a half time and about $ 1500.

Types of products

The wide assortment will immediately attract many buyers. The list should include:

1. The main product is bread. For dieters or "gourmets", a product with additives is attractive: with grains, seeds, bran, etc .;
2. Other products - loaves, all kinds of buns (including stuffed ones), cheesecakes, puffs;
3. Confectionery - cakes, filled pies, sweet rolls, etc.

Premises for a bakery

Try to locate the bakery in a busy place, but not near the road... Buyers subconsciously distrust goods sold by the road.

Good accommodation options: near supermarkets, office and business centers, in residential areas surrounded by a large number of high-rise buildings.

The area of ​​the rented premises - 70 sq. m... Of these, the bakery will occupy 55 sq. m, and a shop for sale - 15.

List of requirements for the arrangement of a mini-bakery

• Plumbing (cold and hot water);
• Availability of sewerage and ventilation systems, air conditioning;
• The ceilings in the baking workshop need to be whitewashed, the walls to a height of 1.7 m are laid out with tiles or porcelain stoneware;
• Utility rooms are required - a bathroom with a sink and toilet, a warehouse;
• Basements and basements cannot be used to accommodate an enterprise.

The rent will cost about $ 700 a month, repairs and necessary communications - $ 900-1000.

Bakery equipment

Everything that is needed for such an enterprise is divided into two large parts: a production base and a trading base.

Production

To set up production, you will need to purchase:

1. Professional oven- $ 700-1000. Powerful ovens are offered by manufacturers Zucchelli Forni, Enteco Master, Unox;
2. Proofing cabinet- about $ 500. Good brands - Apach, Gierre, Voskhod;
3. Dough kneading machine- 1000-1200 $. Apach, SEGZ, Fimar;
4. Automatic dough sheeter- $ 300. Viatto, Flamic, Fimar, Penzmash, Imperia;
5. Flour sifter- $ 200-300. Atesy, Stillag;
6. Baking trolley- $ 250-300. Makiz Ural, AISI;
7. 2 pastry tables for rolling out dough and slicing - up to $ 500. Cryspi, Iterma, Chuvashorgtechnika;
8. Refrigerator cabinet- 600-700 $. Marikholodmash, POLAIR;
9. Bread forms(15 pcs.) - $ 150. Makiz Ural, SEMZ;
10. Closet- $ 450. Antey, Stillag, Atesi.

You can save time and money on purchasing equipment for a mini-bakery by organizing an incomplete production cycle. For this, ready-made dough is purchased, then there is no need for a kneading machine.

But mini-bakeries need to work to create a base of regular customers who value their baked goods for their unique taste, so it's better to knead the dough yourself.

Considering how much a complete set of new equipment costs ($ 4500-5000), it is easier and cheaper to buy a used car (the price difference is $ 1-1.5 thousand), but in the food industry it is not recommended to do this.

Shopping

To organize a sales area you need:

• Showcases and counter - $ 200-250. Gulf Stream, Polyus, Moscow Art Museum, KS Rus, Gefest;
• Cash register (requires registration with the tax office) - $ 300. ELVES-MICRO-K, SHTRIKH-M;
• Safe - $ 80-100. Aiko, Liberty;
• Two closets for storing goods - $ 400. Atesy, Stillag.

Commercial equipment will cost $ 1,000.

Raw materials

The main raw materials are flour, yeast, butter, sugar, salt, as well as baking powder, vanillin, various food additives (seeds, grains, poppy seeds, etc.), thickeners. Food consumables must be certified and purchased from trusted suppliers.

For baking, you need raw materials of the highest or first grade. For instance, flour for baking must comply with GOST 27669-88- "Wheat baking flour".

An important nuance of finding suppliers- it is almost useless to establish work with a flour mill. A large enterprise will not consider a small confectionery as a permanent partner - the volumes are too small.

Don't try to buy more in advance., it is not easy to store and you risk losing a lot of raw materials. It is better to pay attention to intermediary firms.

How to calculate the number of consumables? Finished products are 30% more by weight of raw materials used. To make 100 kg of bread, you will need about 75 kg of flour, a kilogram of salt, 100 grams of vegetable oil and 700 grams of yeast.

A small bakery will need about 10,000 kg of flour per month... The average wholesale price is $ 0.25. The monthly cost of purchasing the main raw material will be $ 2,500.

Mini bakery staff

For baking, hire four bakers, two cashiers, and a cleaning lady. All employees need health records and passing basic tests.

It is better to organize work in shifts - a week after a week. We outsource accounting. The monthly salary fund will require an investment of 3 thousand dollars.

Costs and Benefits

How much does it cost to open a bakery? The initial investment is about 15 thousand dollars. This includes the cost of documentation, equipment, premises (with payment of rent for three months), consumables for the first month. Fixed monthly expenses - in the region of $ 6,000.

In calculating the profit of the enterprise, we focus on the production of 400-500 kg of products per day and its almost one hundred percent sale. The monthly revenue of the enterprise will amount to 16-18 thousand dollars, and net monthly income - 10-12 thousand.

With the right organization, even a mini-bakery is a very good business. It is very important to monitor the quality of goods and correctly calculate the volumes of production and sales.

Baking quickly loses its attractiveness for the buyer, and yesterday's products are no longer to everyone's taste. It is better to close the store early at first due to a lack of food than to write off the stale baking the next day.
