Bakery owners put some extra cash in your pockets. How well are you managing your inventory? Think Raw Materials, Cleaning Products and Packaging. Keeping it in check can help raise your profits. It is easy to let inventory slowly build up and take up space better used in your bakery. Ideally you should spend your money on inventory that sells, moving through your business creating cash flow. Keeping track of inventory also gives you an idea on what the trend is with your customers as you get an up-to-date idea on what is moving, what your customers are buying, and what they are not. If you have excess stock and packaging laying around your staff will waste time looking for items, slowing down their productivity. Everyone knows you use your old stock first but are your sure it is happening in your bakery, keep a check on this to save on any out-of-date wastage that may be occurring. Do you have a system in place for receiving, putting away, stocktaking and ordering that is easy to follow or are you relying on one person to do it and if they leave you have to start all over? Just some simple things to think about. As I like stories here is one to share: With one of the bakeries, I have been working with we were looking at ways to cut their costs. We started with packaging inventory. They had so many old stickers, bags and boxes that had been sitting unused for a couple of years, they no longer had a use for them. We decided to find another use for them all and set a goal to get rid of them all, we used them for weigh ups, products, new promo products, used the stickers and what we couldn’t use we gave to a local kindergarten. The result was one whole month without having to order any packaging, yep one whole month, not only did we save them roughly one thousand dollars but also gave them extra space for the packaging they actually use. That profit went straight to their bottom line. What is sitting in your bakery taking up unused space that could be cash sitting in your pocket?
