Bakery Boss Mode - How Store Managers Win With Bakery
Running a store bakery without being a baker?
You can—if you run the operation. In this episode, Mark Lack breaks down the B.R.E.A.D. framework—Basics & Hygiene, Recipe & Range Quality, Engagement & Communication, Availability & Inventory, Development—so you can spot what matters, lower waste, lift availability, and keep customers coming back for the fresh stuff.
You’ll learn how to set smart daypart pars (open, mid-morning, lunch, late afternoon), when and how to use markdowns that actually sell, and how to keep food safety and allergen control rock-solid without slowing the team down. We’ll cover display/photo standards, simple micro-training that works in 10 minutes a week, and a one-minute huddle script that gets everyone aligned. Expect practical tips on FIFO inventory, temperature logging, coffee attachments (pastry + espresso = love), and the small routines that make a bakery look—and smell—like success.
Whether you’re a store manager, department lead, or just bakery-curious, this is your no-jargon blueprint to run a brilliant bakery without the chef’s hat.
