① Buy less raw materials and buy more frequently. Experienced chefs know the normal sales of their cake houses. Purchase as many raw materials as you need. During the peak cake sales season, you should purchase more. Don't buy a lot at one time just to save trouble, thinking that sales will be faster during the peak season. Once the shelf life has passed, it will cause waste. Even if the shelf life has not passed, the goods in stock should be used up as much as possible before repurchasing, so as not to deteriorate after being stored for a long time and affect the quality of the cakes.

②Adjust business strategy: Purchasing personnel should keep abreast of market information and changes in raw materials, and promptly notify the cake chef so that the cake chef can promptly adjust the store's products based on market information and changes in raw materials. When the price of raw materials changes and the corresponding products are selling well, you can purchase more products with lower prices and better storage durability. For expensive raw materials, a slight fluctuation in the market will cause a substantial increase in costs, so you should always pay attention to adjusting the cake price.

③The packaging must be skillful, giving him a beautiful visual enjoyment first, and at the same time, he will also feel that it is worth the money.

④ Separate funds for delicious cakes to motivate employees, fixed assets and current assets should be distinguished, turnover and gross profit margin should be linked to employees' salaries, and employees should be encouraged to participate in baking management.

⑤Quality must be guaranteed. The quality of purchased raw materials must be guaranteed. If there is a situation where the bad is replaced by the good or the cake is missing, the inspector must refuse to accept it; the initial processing personnel must not process it; the pastry chefs have the right not to make cakes; the waiters have the right not to sell them. Only by interlocking all the links can the quality and reputation of the bakery be guaranteed. The good raw materials purchased should be put to the best use, and good steel should be used on the cutting edge.
