That is it for the night
Actually got to sleep in a bit today and plan to do the same tomorrow.
Heading out to the DaveCave(tm) for email and then off to bed.
There is a big special-order to be done for Monday morning so I will be working tomorrow prepping for it. A lot of things like muffins (there are four dozen on this order) can have the dough prepped in advance and refrigerated. You just need to take the dough, give it an hour to come up to room temperature, portion it out and you are ready to go.
The advantage is that you save the time needed to actually make the dough from scratch (about 45 minutes) and can be doing other things while the dough is warming up.
For shits and giggles, I ran a quick P&L statement for the 13 days I have been managing the business. The results are highly skewed as it shows none of the deep debt the business has and will have to start paying off but the numbers are not shabby. $5.7K in food sales with $1.6K COGS. This represents a 28% food cost which is right where I want to be. This is about $400/day food sales and I need to boost this to $800 or over for me to be happy and for the bakery to be operating at max capacity. This should happen when the ski area opens up.
Again, a skewed view but for a sniff-test, the results are attar of roses and not jenkem...
