Purchase options and add-ons

Most communities have the capacity to support a well-run bakery operation. With good planning and access to raw materials and markets, setting up a bakery can represent an excellent enterprise opportunity. Baking for Profit provides the information that a small entrepreneur needs to address when setting up a bakery. The emphasis is on clear advice and instruction, beginning with effective planning. The opening chapter covers first steps, including setting about the vitally important feasibility study. Subsequent chapters cover other aspects of setting up the business, such as choice of site and layout of buildings, hygiene and safety, raw material selection and choosing the right type and scale of machinery and equipment. The book gives appropriate recipes for initial production, as well as guidance on suitable production systems. There are also troubleshooting charts giving advice on overcoming production problems, as well as useful advice on stock management. This practical manual is invaluable reading for those who are starting out in the bakery business, those whose job it is to advise others doing so, or those who want to scale up existing operations to increase their profits.

Excellent Information

This slim volume will answer many questions. Certainly, a person unfamiliar with commercial baking will require more skills, but this will get you started, and it will tell you a lot of the questions you will need to ask if you want to start a bakery business.

A recommended reference.

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2001

I was looking for references to start my own bakery and this was one of the books that came up in my search. For someone like me who never went to a culinary school where food management is taught extensively, I thought that Mr Bathie answered some of my very basic questions of lay out and process management. It's a highly instructive book for someone, like me, who has no professional background in baking. The writing is clear and concise and layman languange is used extensively through out the book. As Mr Bathie was a consultant for most of Asia and African countries, he laid to rest some of my uncertainty of the operations of a bakery. The book includes some basic layout configurations of certain types of bakery and also explains briefly uses of machineries for semi or fully automated bakeries. I find the book very enlightening and I recommend it for those who has no background in baking for profit as a point of reference.

This has useful and helpful info - will put it to good use in the near future

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2003

The frist chapters are good backround infromation. The recipes are done in metric, and are well written as to the steps to make the products. With some knowlage of baking you can do these here in America. Some of the recipes are for very ruial areas of the world, ie: use cow-dung for the fire to bake one of the breads. Over all good info for setting up a bakery.

The title is very misleading!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 19, 2014

Verified Purchase

As someone who would eventually like my own bakery I thought this would be a good starting point. I was wrong. The book has all of 11 pages dedicated on the business side of owning a bakery, the other 110 pages are mainly recipes and kitchen design. The recipes may come in handy hence the two stars, but as a business tool, it was useless.
