If you want to open a cake shop, the profit of cake is much higher than that of bread. Many people may have heard that baking shops have high profits. According to the basic market, the profit of bread series is about 30%, and the profit of cakes and coffee drinks is about 50%, which is very high compared with other industries.
Nowadays, bread has long been the first choice for breakfast, afternoon tea or meal replacement snacks, while cake is a must for weddings, birthdays, opening ceremonies and wedding celebrations. It can be said that there is a great market demand, among which birthday cake has the highest profit, and birthday cake is the profit point of cake shop. Among all cake products, the profit of birthday cake is higher, with the profit of 6 inches being 20%, the profit of 8 inches being 25%, and the profit of 10 inch. The profit of 12 inch is 35%, that of 14 inch is 40%, that of 16 inch is 45% and that of 18 inch is 50%. If we use some birthday cake marketing programs to increase the number of birthday cakes every day, it will naturally be higher.
The profit calculation of a cake shop depends on the specific situation, because besides the scale, there are also factors such as brand and store address that affect its profit. But what is certain is that the cake shop has a lot of profit space, but there are also many risks, such as poor location, few people buy it, poor products, few people like it, poor marketing, inability to increase turnover, and high rental costs, equipment costs, production costs, material costs and personnel costs in consumption cost.
Therefore, it is easy to open a shop, but to do one thing well, you need to consider many factors, low risk, natural success rate and long-term plan, not temporary passion, so it is easy to open a shop, but it is not that simple to do it well.
Operating a cake shop requires investors to make a good budget before opening the store, which can ensure the smooth operation of the store and avoid losses. The budget input of a cake shop includes utilities, personnel management fees, costs, tables, chairs and tableware. For these expenses, the operator should make a list and estimate the approximate expenses, which is very helpful for the operation of the store.
So, how much does it cost to open a cake shop? What are the precautions? Next, talk to you.
One,
How much does it cost to open a cake shop?
1、
Total monthly expenses = monthly rent+total monthly salary+monthly industrial and commercial taxes+monthly water and electricity+monthly miscellaneous expenses, etc. This can't be considered as the investment when the store is opened, because it will be transferred when the store is not opened, and some will turn losses into profits, which is an indefinite number. Miscellaneous expenses include food, accommodation and sanitation, and fuel costs generally enter the cost.
2、
Total daily expenditure = total monthly expenditure /30 days.
3、
Gross profit margin = [selling price-cost]/selling price * 100%. The costs here include spices, raw material prices and fuel. Through this formula, we can also calculate the cost and selling price of the product.
4、
Monthly sales of breakeven point = total monthly expenses/gross profit margin or daily sales of breakeven point = daily expenses/gross profit margin.
5、
Monthly gross profit = total monthly sales-total monthly cost, where the total cost is the monthly purchase amount minus the inventory amount.
6、
Monthly profit = gross profit-total monthly expenses.
Second,
Matters needing attention in opening a cake shop
1、
Honesty.
When opening a cake shop, we must pay attention to honesty. The so-called honesty means not deceiving consumers or making false propaganda.
2、
Sanitary facilities.
In order to seek profits, many "black-hearted" businesses in China often have unclean and unsanitary phenomena in the catering industry. However, if you want to have more repeat customers and a longer-term development, I would like to suggest that you make clean and hygienic baked goods!
3、
Service.
Cake shop is a service industry. If you want to have a better business, you must have thoughtful service.
4. See yourself clearly.
If you can't see yourself clearly, you can't find customers. A good location and proper positioning are half the battle. The so-called good location does not mean how expensive the location is, but the location is combined. To be exact, what business is done in what position? Management refers to the continuous improvement of the suitability between dishes and customer needs. If this suitability is improved, the success rate of enterprise management will be greatly increased, otherwise, it will lead to a higher failure rate.
Generally speaking, the cost of opening a cake shop depends on the local rent, as well as the size and decoration level of the store. According to the actual situation, the precautions for opening a cake shop are also different. But I have to say, this is an industry where pay is directly proportional to return!
I run a cake shop now. The gross profit of the cake shop is really high, but the cost of the lessor is also high. If it can't be sold, it's expensive to throw it away every day. The competition in physical stores is fierce. I need to have a strong heart to resist pressure and be prepared not to make money for a year. I can still do it as long as I insist.
You must have your own plan. You can't just ask online. You must also ask experienced acquaintances in your life and visit Anhui New Oriental. It's not too late to learn the technology of West Point before starting a business. I have been in this business for 10 years. I think the basic process is like this, just for browsing. 1
Please hire a master. It's hard to find a pastry chef now, and it's even harder to find a responsible master. Please find a good master first.
It is estimated that your shop has been found, so it is decorated. Now there are professionals who specialize in decorating cake shops. The price of one square meter won't be very expensive, but they are good at design and will do better.
You can start publicity now, you can publicize it without decoration, and then buy equipment. Recruiting people, whether apprentices or waiters, should start preparing early, which can also play a role in publicity. Well, I'm prepared for the store rules, and I can announce them a few days before the opening; Hehe, that's all for the time being. If you have any questions, you can visit Jinan Delicious College. It's not too late to start a business after learning the technology of West Point. At present, the specific process of opening a west point store is as follows: step 1: prepare funds and determine the scale, integrate production and sales or separate them; Step 2: prepare technical resources and hire employees, or you can do a job yourself; Step 3: Site selection. Determine whether to open it in the business district, downtown area or residential area; Step 4: Market research. Make a detailed investigation on regional food market demand, consumption status, consumption capacity, citizens' eating habits and competition in the same industry; Step 5: Feasibility analysis. Are products and services acceptable to everyone? Better than peers? Where are the opportunities? Step 6: Evaluate the turnover and market share. Determine the investment scale and then estimate the size of the target market. Calculate the number and turnover of competitors, compare yourself with competitors, and estimate your turnover and market share; Please enter a picture to describe step 7: decoration and permit application. The decoration conforms to the national regulations, and the fa? ade is best decorated in warm colors, with its own characteristics but not too fancy. Step 8: Buy equipment. There are more and more manufacturers operating equipment in baking industry, please consult the headquarters. Step 9: design a special, interesting, clear, memorable and meaningful trademark, preferably registered, to pave the way for brand-name products in the future; Step 10: the design of product packaging should be practical and economical; Step 1 1: Buy raw materials, which is a key link. Contact the raw material distributor according to the product grade. As a matter of fact, the dealer knew you were going to start a business, and he came to see you very early. The choice of raw materials is very important, which directly affects the quality of products. We might as well choose some manufacturers' products with stable product quality and good after-sales service.
If the cake shop makes money, ask yourself first:
1.
Have you ever suffered? Get up at five or six every day and go to bed at ten. Eating irregularly. Especially for baking bread in summer, if the storefront is small, the whole storefront is a steamer. I saw with my own eyes that someone in my aunt's family ordered 200 small boxes of cakes until two o'clock in the morning and got up at five o'clock to open a shop. My aunt is in her fifties this year. She has problems with her waist, shoulders and stomach, as well as high blood pressure.
2.
Can you stand anger? The audience of cakes is sinking more and more, and the next day they will encounter low-quality deliberate difficulties. Don't fight back. You have to stop for a day or two before you can fight back into the police store. Don't scold back, but smile and say hello. Therefore, shopkeepers with high blood pressure are not allowed to be bad shopkeepers.
3.
Can you stand loneliness? 365 days a year, except going out to buy food, they are all in the store. In Fiona Fang, the social circle is about 10 meter, which is limited to the supermarket and clothing store next door. Business is good during the Spring Festival, so it's normal not to go back to your hometown. Most relatives and friends have to refuse their wedding birthdays. Fortunately, we can video chat now, and we can solve it a little.
4.
Are you married? Successful stores must be mom-and-pop stores, because they can support each other. If the wife doesn't want to be together, don't drive, the risk is greater than long-distance love, and the relationship between husband and wife is very unstable. If you are not married, come back when you are married, or you won't have time for blind date in the future.
If all the above questions are ok, it is not a problem. Then it is profitable to open a cake shop, ranging from 100 thousand to 200 thousand to several million a year.
