The steps needed to start a bakery business are making a business plan, preparing capital, finding a place, preparing the tools needed, recruiting employees, and preparing bakery business management. In making a business plan, it is necessary to determine what type of bakery business to choose, determine what products will be produced, determine product marketing strategies, and determine financial projections. Then, the source of capital in running a business can come from personal capital, bank capital, and/or profit-sharing (franchise).
In finding a place of business, there are several things to consider, including strategic location, ease of access, distance to suppliers, similar business competition, size of the place, government regulations, and security. Then, the tools needed in the bakery business are mixers, ovens, proofing, dough dividers, production tables, and others. In the employee recruitment process, what needs to be done is analyzing position needs, planning the recruitment process, opening vacancies, and selecting candidates who match the criteria desired by the company.
Bakery business management that needs to be prepared includes raw material procurement management, production management, human resource management, service management, and marketing management. Raw material procurement management is responsible for ensuring the availability of materials for production, scheduling routine and non-routine shopping, finding suppliers who can provide certainty of material availability, and making good and correct bookkeeping (FIFO – First In First Out). Production management is in charge of ensuring that the production process runs smoothly, ensuring the availability of production equipment and sufficient human resources, and making routine and non-routine production plans. Human Resource Management is in charge of ensuring that the human resources owned are effective and efficient in achieving company goals, recruiting employees who meet the company’s criteria, and conducting employee training and gatherings. Service management is in charge of ensuring that product stock is always complete and well packaged, making repeat customers, making it easy to obtain products, and facilitating delivery services. Marketing management is in charge of ensuring marketing strategies are by company goals, determining marketing targets and media, setting target results, and determining the added value of the products sold.
