Classification of bakeries by production structure

When choosing a franchise, it is important to determine the concept (ethnic or European) and the cost (democratic or premium). It is also important to take into account the peculiarities of the production cycle.

Incomplete cycle

Establishments use frozen preparations supplied by partner companies. Their task is to prepare baked goods for sale and serve visitors.

The owner of such a bread shop depends on suppliers and cannot influence the taste of the finished products.

Full cycle

Large-scale production is organized in full-fledged bakeries. Their opening requires large expenses and the availability of equipped premises with a warehouse and workshops. Management can control the quality of baked goods, select assortment and regulate prices.

Large-scale production is created in full-cycle bakeries.

What types of bakeries are there?

1. Mini bakery

A small assortment of bread, several options for sweet pastries. A kiosk-style point on the street or in a supermarket. It is possible to have a workshop on the ground floor of a house in a densely populated central or residential area.

1. Large bakery plant

Such enterprises are rarely interested in franchising, but there are precedents. Requires large investments and a commitment to long-term payback. The least profitable and popular type of franchise.

1. Bakery

It differs from a mini-bakery in the large number of assortment items. The emphasis is equally on bread and sweet pastries.

1. Confectionery

Fresh bread, buns, cakes, coffee, the opportunity to have a snack at the table or take the products with you. More difficult to implement, requires larger premises, equipment and personnel. But the payback percentage for confectionery shops is higher.

Several options for technological conditions are a feature of franchising in the bakery segment. That is, the fundamental difference is not so much in the formal names, but in the features of the production cycle.

This opens up possibilities for choice depending on desires and budget. For example, you chose a bakery-pastry shop. It can work on a full or incomplete cycle:

1. Incomplete cycle: baked goods are based on semi-finished products manufactured by the franchisor. The cost varies from region to region, but it is relatively inexpensive.
2. Full cycle: it represents the technology by which you manufacture products from scratch.

The first option requires less financial costs, qualified “expensive” personnel, and is suitable for beginners. The second is more complicated, the cost is higher, more labor costs, but it also has its advantages. Fresh baked goods, which are made “from start to finish” in one place, are much more attractive to buyers. A competent advertising campaign can quickly offset the disadvantages due to exclusivity, ensuring demand.

St. Petersburg chain of bakeries and confectioneries "Bushe"

Since the fall of 2020, one of the oldest chains of bakeries and confectioneries in the city, “Bushe,” began operating in the capital. The first point appeared in the Central Children's Store on Lubyanka. The establishment is designed for 43 seats and occupies a room with an area of ​​141 m2. Investments in opening the company are estimated at 30 million rubles.

Moscow “Bushes” do not differ significantly from bakeries and confectioneries in St. Petersburg. The only difference is the distribution of product groups; in “Bush” in the capital there is more fast food and less confectionery, pastries and cakes. The company has not yet disclosed how many more Bushe establishments it intends to open in Moscow.

Competition in this segment of public catering in Moscow is high. Despite this, “Boucher” expects maximum loyalty from the Moscow audience.

“Bouche” is one of the long-lived restaurants in the St. Petersburg catering market. The first bakery-confectionery appeared in St. Petersburg in 1999; now there are 34 establishments in the city. In 2020, the Bushe team updated the format, added a kitchen and transformed into a symbiosis of a bakery, confectionery, restaurant and coffee shop of the slow food bakery & coffee format/

In 2020, Bushe launched a new project. The company began opening bakeries under the “Warm Bread and Under the Blanket” brand; now there are already two of them. The owner of Bushe LLC is the creator of a chain of bakeries and confectioneries and its general director Oleg Lega.

Several dozen St. Petersburg restaurateurs work in Moscow. The Italy group, MarketPlace, Wasabi, the Dve Palochki holding, the KillFish bar chain, Ginza Project, the Chainikoff coffee chain, and Ketch Up Burgers set out to conquer the capital.

Another St. Petersburg chain of bakeries, Bulka Khleba, has gone to the capital. In Moscow, it is developing as a franchise; in 3 years, the partner of the St. Petersburg company plans to open up to 40 facilities there.

It is worth admitting that St. Petersburg residents in Moscow have something to fight for - Muscovites go to restaurants more often than St. Petersburg residents, and the average bill in establishments is higher. The volume of the Moscow public catering market is about 175 billion rubles per year, while in St. Petersburg it is estimated at 60 billion rubles.

But the costs in the capital are much higher. Opening a restaurant in Moscow, according to market participants, costs 25-30% more than in St. Petersburg. The difference in investments is especially affected by rent and salaries, but repairs cost approximately the same amount.

In the capital, chains of bakeries and cafe-pastry shops include “Nasuchny Bread”, “Volkonsky”, Paul, “Cinnabon”, “Stolle”. Over the past few years, new bakeries, bakeries and confectionery shops have been actively opening in Moscow, the market is rapidly becoming saturated, but for now we are talking about a variety of single projects, not network ones.

The market for public catering establishments in Russia has begun to grow.

The crisis has led to the emergence of two new segments in the Russian public catering market - fast casual (fashionable and affordable eateries) and bakeries, analysts from the research company NPD found. Bakeries occupy 2% of the catering market; this segment in terms of total visitor spending grew by 14% in the first quarter of 2020.

Franchisee reviews

Maria, 36 years old, Kaliningrad: “The opening of a mini-bakery is an event in my life. There were legal difficulties, but everything is behind us. I’m satisfied with the income, so I plan to develop further.”

Ivan, 44 years old, Moscow: “The chosen franchise turned out to be unprofitable. Head office staff are helpful and communicate adequately. However, bread is not in great demand, and all calculations are an invention of the company. With a stated payback of 1 year, I was able to return the investment in 20 months. And I’m closing because there are no prospects.”

Elena, 50 years old, Krasnogorsk: “My husband and I chose a bread franchise and were satisfied. It took a month to open, but we’ve been working for six months now. The relationship with the management company is trusting. We prepare tandoor pastries, which distinguishes the business from others.”

Why is it profitable to bake confectionery?

Opening your own business in any field is fraught with risks, however, bakery products are a highly marketable product. Stable demand for bread is not a guarantee of enterprise success, but it is a good help at the start .

Pros of opening a bakery:

1. Bread is bought all year round - the demand for baked goods may change throughout the year, but it never disappears.
2. Buyers are tired of faceless baked goods in plastic packaging from hypermarkets - people want to know the bread manufacturer by sight and receive baked goods in original packaging.
3. Selling goods is possible in several ways - you can trade through intermediaries, directly with stores, restaurants, or sell retail at your facility. The last option is the most profitable. A bakery franchise pays for itself much faster than other options.
4. The trade in bread goes well with the sale of related products - many bakeries offer to buy their own confectionery, snacks, coffee, dairy products, and soft drinks. Visitors can purchase a set of dishes for a complete breakfast or lunch - this makes them come back to the bakery again.

Advantages and disadvantages

There are both positive and negative aspects to opening a bakery franchise. Let's look at the pros first:

• Most often, work takes place under a well-known brand. Consequently, the need for intensive promotional activities is reduced.
• At every stage of doing business, the company regularly advises franchisees on all issues.
• There are no difficulties with the supply of raw materials and technical equipment.
• Baked goods are always in demand. Therefore, running this business brings stable profits even in times of crisis.

As with any business, there are some drawbacks :

• If raw materials are supplied from other countries, then the goods will be quite expensive;
• Large investments are required, which stops beginners who decide to try their hand at this activity;
• Even in small towns there can be serious competition.

Varieties

Before choosing a bakery franchise, entrepreneurs must clearly define the purpose of their business. Bread selling point, coffee shop or pastry shop. The choice will affect the overall concept of the establishment, the production cycle and, therefore, the amount of investment.

A bakery franchise can be:

Mini bakery. The work is based on partial cycle production. This means that the products are prepared from semi-finished products, which significantly reduces the cost of kitchen equipment. You operate as a franchise, and the franchisor provides the raw materials. The best option for a quick start with limited capital. To organize a workplace you will need:

• Retail area - 12-15 m²;
• Staff – 2 people;
• Equipment – ​​350 thousand rubles.
• Payback – from 8 months.
• Net profit from each point is 70-80 thousand rubles.

Full production cycle bakery franchise. It implies the entire production and sales cycle in one place. The premises contain both a kitchen and a sales area. Preparation of dough, fillings, baking, storage and sale requires the organization of several workshops. Franchise analytics:

• Commercial area – 60 m²;
• Hired employees – from 6 people;
• The cost of equipment is from 850 thousand rubles.
• Monthly revenue – from 700 thousand rubles.
• Payback – from 12 months.

Bakery-confectionery. You can increase your customer base, traffic and, as a result, revenue by increasing the range and providing additional services. This format obliges the owners to adhere to a clear business strategy - constantly update the menu, follow innovations in the restaurant business, etc.

Investments in a bakery-confectionery differ from classical models:

Formats – cafe-bakery in a separate building or premises, confectionery in a shopping center, express stall.

• The cost of equipment is from 150 thousand to 1 million rubles.
• Additional investments – from 800 thousand to 7 million rubles.
• Payback – from 12 months.

As a bakery franchise of any type develops, new services and products can be gradually introduced. For example, courier delivery, baking for individual orders, wholesale offers to restaurants, cafes and hotels. The key is to innovate smoothly. Radical changes can drive away loyal customers.

Advantages and disadvantages

Despite the rosy promises of franchisors, bakeries have both undeniable advantages and significant disadvantages that you need to know before buying a franchise.

In addition to the general risks that any business inevitably entails, the production of bakery products has a number of characteristic disadvantages:

• supplies of low quality raw materials are possible, which cannot be refused under the contract;
• unreliable technological maps for baking recipes, as a result of which the products will not have the declared taste qualities;
• the franchisor may not provide full support and advice, which will lead to critical mistakes in the business;
• the presence of additional expenses not mentioned in the business plan.

Fortunately, all the disadvantages have a solution - choose a franchise responsibly. A detailed acquaintance with a possible partner will help to identify shortcomings at the decision-making stage - study reviews, conditions, talk with the owners, consult with a specialist. And then you will have the opportunity to evaluate all the advantages of a bakery franchise:

• comprehensive assistance regarding the opening, development and management of a bakery;
• special personnel training program;
• list of suppliers with favorable terms of cooperation;
• a well-chosen assortment of products that meets the needs of the target audience.

Buying a bakery franchise from a reliable partner means getting a business with well-functioning production that is guaranteed to bring profit in a short time. The main value lies in high-quality, recognizable products that can withstand the toughest competition.

Reviews about confectionery Bush

Dima T, July 17, 2020: The most terrible trip to a restaurant. The seller knows nothing. What is added where. Fire him. In the end, I didn't like the food. . Don't go here!

Departure438500 May 26, 2020: A place to meet and chat. Here you can sit pleasantly in silence, chat with friends or work with your laptop. Service at the counter is slow, sometimes there is a line, you have to wait for about 10 minutes.

The quality of sandwiches and cakes is “3”. Everything is somehow tasteless, as if stale. The prices are high, and this price-quality discrepancy is annoying. If your smartphone has a special one. application for a discount, use it: you will be able to save.

bellaivanova, December 25, 2020: The only place in Gatchina where you can remove hunger. Always fresh pastries, delicious coffee. For breakfast you can order an omelet. For lunch they offer a choice of several types of cream soups.

A6916HX_Espoo, Finland, November 6, 2020: Expensive for Gatchina, but tasty and cozy. In Gatchina, on Sobornaya Street, there are many places where you can go and sit and have a coffee. They started going to Bush when they had a child, because there is a ramp there, and because of the high price tag for Gatchina, there is always room.

In principle, this cafe is no different from the cafes of this chain: for your money you will get equally good service and delicious pastries everywhere. The only thing really disgusting here is the creme brulee. Instead of a delicate cream, a disgusting sweet omelet covered with a sugar crust.

Evgenia Z, October 19, 2020: Inadequate staff. I couldn’t eat at the cafe! I stood first in line with my child for 15 minutes, after which I turned around and left (lifting a stroller in a cafe, by the way, is also very inconvenient).

A very slow lady cashier decided that she should serve her relatives/acquaintances first, not in the order of the queue. It's outrageous! They take a very long time to serve. There are a lot of people working, and there is a queue of 6 people. I don't recommend visiting.

A2386ZY_, Moscow, Russia, July 12, 2020: Disappointed. After visiting Boucher in St. Petersburg, this one was very disappointing. Tasteless, dry brownie, without the taste of chocolate (150 RUR). To be honest, this is not a brownie at all. The Americano was brought warm, followed by cold milk.

The fish in the soup is pure salt. Dried quiche (190 RUR). The impression is that everything was prepared, at best, yesterday. But, most importantly, there are flies crawling on the sandwiches in the display case! Well, you can't do that. Just an indecent difference from the St. Petersburg establishment.

Julia G, Gatchina, Russia, June 27, 2020: Not cheap baked goods, but cozy and delicious coffee. We had a snack together - mother and son 10 years old for 1100 rubles. Two soups, two sandwiches, a slice of cake, a large latte, 300 ml freshly squeezed apple juice.

You can also buy an omelet (with cheese and bacon, with salted red fish). Soup with sandwich - 50 rubles discount. Also, yesterday's baked goods are sold with a 40% discount. Delicious. Pleasant light unobtrusive music. City center and pedestrian street.

snik742017, Gatchina, Russia, February 21, 2020: It’s delicious, everything is fresh from the oven, but it’s too expensive. Tasty, fast, decent. You have to pay a lot for something very tasty. But everyone chooses for themselves. I always order a cake there with berries inside (like a cheesecake).
