Types of Bread Manufacturing Formulations

Many different types of bread manufacturing formulations have been developed so far. These formulations are developed in different regions based on the 7 traditional food habits of the people. The main bread types can be classified as under.

1. Pan bread: This type of bread is popular in economically developed countries including the USA, Canada, United Kingdom, and European nations.

2. Hearth bread or sour bread: This category of bread is produced with or without lactic acid fermentation. Hearth bread is baked in an open-earth infrastructure. These bread are becoming popular in France.

3. Flatbread or roti/chappati: This category of bread is popular in Asian countries. The product is unfermented and flat. This baked on a flat hot pan.

4. Rolls and other small fermented bread: These products generally have higher levels of sugar and fat in the formulation and thus typically have a sweeter taste and softer bite characteristics.

Bread Bakery BUSINESS PLAN

BREADCRAFTER

8900 Green Lake Road Port Hanover, Michigan, 49333

This business plan is a tightly constructed, succinct consideration of all factors relevant to launching this bakery. From rent charges to competition and seasonal changes to costs per loaf, this plan hasn't left anything out...all without being overly verbose. This exemplary plan is very focused and complete, which will help the business stay on course.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The company.

Awareness of high quality baked goods is on the rise. Good bread is a rare combination of nutrition, convenience, and luxury. Today's consumer has less time to create wholesome, handmade bread, but increasingly appreciates the nutritional and sensory benefits it provides. Good bread provides fiber and carbohydrates in a convenient, low fat form that is portable and delicious. Good bread never goes out of style.

Breadcrafter will produce and sell high quality, handmade breads to the residents and tourists of Port Hanover and Freeman County. The Company will focus on European Style; naturally leavened breads and baguettes made with high quality ingredients. Breads will be baked and sold at a storefront facility using a 4 deck, steam injected bread oven. Labor saving devices will allow the proprietor to run the entire operation with the help of two part time, seasonal employees.

Breadcrafter's main competition includes a health food store, three pastry shops and three supermarkets in the Port Hanover area. Its advantage lies in the high quality of its products due to specialization and artisan manufacturing. The main marketing focus will be an eye catching sign, the scent of fresh bread wafting out of the storefront, and periodic printed advertisements. The company will sample its products liberally.

After establishing the operation, the company will explore the possibility of making takeout sandwiches. Delivering wholesale bread and baked goods to area restaurants and specialtyretailers will also be considered.

The company is being founded by Kevin Richards, an artisan baker currently baking breads and pastries for Toothsome Foods Company in Port Hanover, Michigan. Kevin has spent the last two years building the TFC program from the ground up. His wife Renee Richars is also a bread baker, having baked for one year at the Grainery Food Co-op, Breadcrafter's chief competitor. Together they bring a wealth of practical experience and a realistic market sense to the company.

Breadcrafter is currently seeking $70,000 in loans to get the business underway. Major costs include equipment purchases, shop rent, ingredient purchases, site modifications, and marketing, which total $61,000. Projected sales for the first three months, based on market and competition studies, will total $41,087. Total operating expenses and cost of sales will leave an average profit of $4,740 per month.

Opening day is scheduled for July 1st, 1996. While Breadcrafter has the potential for high growth, the first three years will be spent establishing company financial stability and increasing market share.

Breadcrafter will be created to serve the Port Hanover community by exploiting the need for a good bread bakery. It will offer a variety of high quality, European and American style artisan breads, baked fresh in its storefront bakery.

The company's immediate goals are to achieve start up by July 1st, 1996, in time to capitalize on the lucrative summer tourist season. It will start with the proprietor, Kevin Richards, as baker and manager with the help of two part time employees. The company should gross over $100,000 in its first year. Long term goals include the addition of a takeout sandwich store to the storefront and wholesale bread sales within one year.

Kevin Richards, the proprietor and baker, is the creator of Breadcrafter. For four years, he has been employed at Toothsome Foods Company, a specialty foods manufacturer in Port Hanover, Michigan. His experience as a Production Supervisor and as a Research & Development Cook bring a sense of production realities and technical savvy to the company. As the driving force behind TFC's current Handmade Bread program, Kevin has two years practical experience with sourdough breads. He holds a BA in English Literature from the University of Michigan.

Renee Richards, Kevin's wife, also has bread baking experience. She baked bread at the Grainery Food Co-op in Port Hanover, Michigan for one year, and she contributes a keen sense of the bread market. She also contributes retail sales experience accrued through several retail jobs around Port Hanover.

The company is in the process of securing $70,000 in start up financing.

Breadcrafter's breads will stand out from the competition due to their uniqueness and outstanding quality. Most of the breads are European in style, including Sourdough, Miche (a traditional French whole wheat bread), and Sourdough Rye. These breads are made by the sourdough method which uses no added yeast. This method imparts a rich flavor, which can be tangy or mild, as well as a toothsome inner crumb and a crackly crust. By using this method, a skilled baker can create truly delicious breads without added fats or sugars, making many of Breadcrafter's products 100% fat free. Sourdough breads also have an extended shelf life, remaining fresh for days without the use of preservatives. Breadcrafter will also offer specialty breads, which will be made in the sourdough way with the addition of such luxurious ingredients as Parmagian cheese with fresh ground pepper and dried Michigan cherries with roasted pecans. Spent Grain Bread, made with barley leftover from beer brewing, is another unique product that Breadcrafter will offer. Two varieties of French style baguettes will be offered fresh daily, a high demand product that is available nowhere else in the area. Breadcrafter will also produce White and Wheat Sandwich Breads with soft crust and a tender crumb for traditional American Style sandwiches. As the needs of the customer change, so will the lineup of Breadcrafter's products. The bakery equipment is chosen with versatility in mind.

After establishing the business, Breadcrafter will research the possibility of producing sandwiches to increase revenues. This investment would require approximately $1500.00 for the purchase of equipment and ingredients. The company will also pursue wholesale contracts. Toothsome Foods Company has indicated interest in a contract to produce two Christmas products on a per loaf basis, Cherry Chocolate Fruitcake and Midwest Christmas Stollen. These products can help generate revenues in the slower Autumn months. The proprietor will also consider producing some of Toothsome Foods' current lineup of Handmade Breads on a wholesale basis.

A self serve beverage cooler filled with soft drinks will also help increase revenues, as will the sale of fresh brewed coffee.

Production of sellable breads is projected to begin on July 1st 1996. Raw ingredients will be ordered for twice a month delivery from North Farm Co-op and Sysco Inc., at which time a two week production schedule will be drawn up by Kevin Richards, the proprietor/baker. Ingredients will be stored in a dry storage area and in a walk in cooler (already on the proposed premises). Rent of the facility will be $1,050 per month with utility costs running approximately $725/month.

Scheduling will begin with three large bakes per week (MWF) and two small bakes (T,TH). Due to the extended shelf life of sourdough breads, product can be sold for two days before staling. Each bake day the baker will bake breads in a deck oven. The oven provides intense, even heat and a controllable amount of steam injection, allowing tremendous control of crust crispness. Everything from soft white sandwich breads to thick crusted, dense savory breads to sweet baked goods can be perfectly baked in this oven. While breads are baking, the baker will begin mixing the long fermenting doughs to be baked off the next day. Labor saving equipment including a dough divider and a bread moulder makes this possible. Hot breads will begin coming out of theoven by 7:00 AM, and all baking will be finished by 10:00 AM.

The storefront will open at 9:00 AM and close at 6:00 PM Monday through Friday. Saturday hours will be 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM for sales only. Part time employees will work the counter and assist with store maintenance during peak hours while the baker is baking. A beverage cooler and coffee machine will encourage convenience sales at the register.

Breadcrafter will economize on bookkeeping costs by handling its payroll duties in house. Year end bookkeeping will be handled by a professional accountant.

The specialty bread market is about to experience enormous growth. Throughout the country small bakeries are appearing at an increasing rate. Chain stores, such as Great Harvest Bread Company, are experiencing tremendous growth by capitalizing on the wholesome appeal of fresh baked loaves. According to the Bread Baker's Guild of America, a trade organization, membership increased 40% between 1994 and 1995. As people become more aware of its healthy nutritional profile, good bread becomes even more attractive.

There is currently only one source for artisan breads in Port Hanover, Toothsome Foods Company, where the proprietor learned to bake. Market tests performed in the summer of 1995 by Toothsome Foods Company showed strong demand for the product, no price resistance and the need for a more frequent and visible presence. As a pilot program with no promotion in the summer of 1995, Toothsome Foods Company was able to sell all available loaves (20 30 per bake, two bakes per week) all summer long. Even without the benefit of window signage or a consistent delivery schedule, Kevin Richards and TFC have developed a loyal following of regular buyers that continues to grow.

The Millwright Bakery in Maple, MI., a similar operation to Breadcrafter, currently bakes 200- 700 loaves a day for wholesale in the Connor City Area. This bakery has been open since November 1995 and has not yet experienced a summer tourist influx. It has stopped taking on new accounts for fear of exceeding its production capacity during that season. Millwright finds the Port Hanover area very attractive, but delivery from Maple is impractical. This summer season will bring Millwright a large influx of cash, and they will almost certainly consider establishing a bakery in Port Hanover if none yet exists.

Breadcrafter will set up its storefront bakery in the Green Lake Shopping Center. The center is conveniently located on one of the busiest arteries to and from Port Hanover. It has plenty of parking and is easily accessible from the road. The shopping center currently contains a successful, higher end grocery store, a successful liquor convenience store, and a donut bakery that also sells country clutter handicrafts. The shopping center is currently a destination for people seeking gourmet foods. These people will appreciate Breadcrafter's products. There is very little market overlap between Breadcrafter and the donut shop, and the two could exist in synergy. Pricing of artisan type breads around Port Hanover currently ranges from $2.50 per loaf (GraineryWhole Wheat) to $5.95 per loaf (Toothsome Foods Pesto Bread). Breadcrafter's products will range in price from $2.25 (Sourdough Baguette) to $4.95 (Pepper Parmesan Loaf).

COMPETITION

Grainery food co-op.

Breadcrafter's primary competitor. The Grainery currently has a customer base that regularly buys whole grain breads. These customers are interested in healthy foods, and they will appreciate the attractive nutritional profile of our products. Due to undercapitalization, the Grainery will have trouble responding to the quality advantage our equipment and methods provides. Many potential customers are reluctant to patronize the Grainery, perceiving its patrons and employees as "too liberal". True or not, these customers may feel more comfortable at Breadcrafter. Renee Richards, the proprietor's wife, was formerly a Grainery bread baker. She knows their business well.

Helmut's Pastry Shop

An established bakery specializing in pastries and doughnuts. They have a capable facility. Due to heavy investment in pastry equipment and relatively small bread sales, they are unlikely to react strongly to our presence.

Twin's Bakery

Very similar to Helmut's.

The Coffee Mug

Specializing in donuts, pastries, and country clutter handicrafts. They sell some lower quality breads. Major risk is their location, right next door to Breadcrafter's prospective site. This risk could also be an asset, bringing bakery customers in search of better bread to Breadcrafter.

Fred's Markets

Large supermarket with in store bakery. Fred's offers nonscratch, relatively low quality breads and pastries at very low prices. Their largest advantage, other than price, is the convenience of one stop shopping. There is some possibility of future wholesale distribution of our products.

Daley's Supermarkets

Very similar to Fred's

Taylor's

Similar to Fred's and Daley's, but smaller. Higher possibility of future wholesale distribution.

Toothsome Foods Company

Downtown specialty foods retailer. Current employer of Breadcrafter's proprietor. TFC has a small, undercapitalized bread program Due to the absence of the baker, they are unlikely to compete. Proprietor will offer to buy some of the bakery equipment. Future wholesale distribution of contract products is a strong possibility.

Breadcrafter's production capacity will be an advantage over the specialty stores. Product specialization will be an advantage over the pastry shops and supermarkets. Breadcrafter's product quality will be an advantage over all local competitors.

Breadcrafter will sell its products to new and repeat customers from its storefront in the Green Lake Shopping Center, located on the busy stretch of M-17 between Port Hanover and Crescent Heights, Michigan. A large, tasteful, storefront sign will catch the attention of passing motorists. The smell of bread as it comes from the oven will bring customers in from the parking lot. Breadcrafter will offer a sample of fresh baked bread to anyone who comes into the store.

Breadcrafter's products will be truly unique in the marketplace. The look, feel and taste of its breads, when compared with the competition, will underscore their quality and value. Many of the products, such as Pepper Parmesan Bread and Sourdough Baguettes, will not be available anywhere else. Breadcrafter will also actively encourage customer satisfaction. Our product line will react to the needs and desires of the customer, thereby encouraging repeat and word of mouth sales. As a small hands on facility Breadcrafter will have the freedom to react quickly and accurately to changes in the market. Due to its uniqueness and convenient location, Breadcrafter will become a destination for food lovers.

Printed advertisements, which will run opening week, will highlight bread as an everyday product, to be purchased fresh on a weekly or daily basis. More printed advertisements will run Labor Day weekend and during the Christmas season. Costs for these advertisements will be approximately $200 each.

The major risk to any Port Hanover area retail operation is the seasonality of the customer base. Breadcrafter will address this problem by opening at the height of the lucrative summer season. This will give the company a good supply of working capital to help with the startup period. The company will market itself primarily to the year round population. Contract products prepared for Toothsome Foods Company will bring in cash during the slow fall season. Unless strong demand shows a need, labor will be eliminated in the slower seasons and advertising will be minimal. Depending on available cash after Christmas, Breadcrafter will contemplate adding a sandwich bar to serve local shoppers and employees.

Breadcrafter will budget $9,800 in cash reserves as a cushion to help weather the startup period.

(Personal Income Statement removed for privacy.)

Start Up Costs

The compnay is in the process of securing financing for startup. The proprietor currently has $20,000 from private sources and is seeking $50,000 in additional bank loans.

OPERATING COSTS

Two part time employees will be hired to start working on opening day. They will be retained until Labor Day weekend unless strong sales show a further need for them. In the fall, winter and spring, the proprietor and his wife will be the only staff required. Employees will be paid $5.50 per hour, and will work a combined total of 30 hours per week. Wage expenditures will be $707.00 a month with additional payroll taxes running $71.00, for a total expenditure of$778.00.

The Green Lake storefront currently under consideration rents for $1050 a month.

Heat and Electric bills for Jordan Galleria, a downtown storefront of approximately the same dimensions required by Breadcrafter, pays $225.00 at the height of the winter heat season. Taking into account walk in and reach in cooler use, a figure of $350.00 is a reasonable estimated monthly average.

The bread oven will be run four hours per day on busy bake days. Conversations with other bakery owners have indicated that a 4 deck oven consumes $4 of gas per hour, for a total of $343.00 per month at maximum capacity.

A total figure of $725.00 per month is a reasonable estimated monthly average.

Advertising

Breadcrafter will run an advertisement in the Port Hanover News Review during opening week. Another advertisement will run Labor Day weekend. Total advertisement expenditures will run $200 per month. The News Review is known to do spotlight stories on new Port Hanover businesses and Breadcrafter will take advantage of this publicity.

Advertising expenditures will be kept to a minimum in the fall, winter and spring. The company will rely on community service functions, liberal sampling, and word of mouth to reach new customers.

Repair and Maintenance

The estimated maintenance cost for the first month is $500.00. From there it gradually diminishes to $200 a month for the remainder of the year. After the first of the year maintenance estimates are reduced to $100 a month.

A Business Owner's Policy, covering contents, liability, and some loss of income, will cost $400 $500 a year for Breadcrafter, as quoted by Sam Williams of Port Hanover Insurance. Worker's Comp will run $2.25 for every $100 paid. Breadcrafter has budgeted $50 a month in general insurance and $20 a month in Worker's Comp. Health Insurance premiums for the proprietor and his family will run $250 per month.

Taxes and Licenses

The company has budgeted $150 a month on miscellaneous taxes and licenses.

General Supplies

General supplies will consist mainly of bread bags which cost $.05 each for paper and $.03 each for plastic. Bag material, which affects the quality of the crust in storage, will be chosen by the customer. These prices have been included in the cost of sale of each loaf. Cleaning and maintenance supplies will total no more than $50 per month. Breadcrafter has budgeted $125 per month as a conservative figure.

Professional Fees

Professional fees after startup will be kept to a minimum. The proprietor will perform all the necessary filing and bookkeeping chores required except year end tax filing and calculation of depreciation. The company has budgeted $325 in January and

$325 in March to cover these needs.

Miscellaneous

Breadcrafter has budgeted $120 per month to cover miscellaneous expenses.

How to write a business plan for a bread manfacturer?

Putting together a business plan for a bread manfacturer can be daunting - especially if you're creating a business for the first time - but with this comprehensive guide, you'll have the necessary tools to do it confidently.

We will explore why writing one is so important in both starting up and growing an existing bread manfacturer, as well as what should go into making an effective plan - from its structure to content - and what tools can be used to streamline the process and avoid errors.

Without further ado, let us begin!

In this guide:

Why write a business plan for a bread manfacturer?

• What information is needed to create a business plan for a bread manfacturer?
• How do I build a financial forecast for a bread manfacturer?

The written part of a bread manfacturer business plan

• What tool should I use to write my bread manfacturer business plan?

Having a clear understanding of why you want to write a business plan for your bread manfacturer will make it simpler for you to grasp the rationale behind its structure and content. So before delving into the plan's actual details, let's take a moment to remind ourselves of the primary reasons why you'd want to create a bread manfacturer business plan.

To have a clear roadmap to grow the business

Running a small business is tough! Economic cycles bring growth and recessions, while the business landscape is ever-changing with new technologies, regulations, competitors, and consumer behaviours emerging constantly.

In such a dynamic context, operating a business without a clear roadmap is akin to driving blindfolded: it's risky, to say the least. That's why crafting a business plan for your bread manfacturer is vital to establish a successful and sustainable venture.

To create an effective business plan, you'll need to assess your current position (if you're already in business) and define where you want the business to be in the next three to five years.

Once you have a clear destination for your bread manfacturer, you'll have to:

• Identify the necessary resources (human, equipment, and capital) needed to reach your goals,
• Determine the pace at which the business needs to progress to meet its objectives as scheduled,
• Recognize and address the potential risks you may encounter along the way.

Engaging in this process regularly proves advantageous for both startups and established companies. It empowers you to make informed decisions about resource allocation, ensuring the long-term success of your business.

To get visibility on future cash flows

If your small bread manfacturer runs out of cash: it's game over. That's why we often say "cash is king", and it's crucial to have a clear view of your bread manfacturer's future cash flows.

So, how can you achieve this? It's simple - you need to have an up-to-date financial forecast.

The good news is that your bread manfacturer business plan already includes a financial forecast (which we'll discuss further in this guide). Your task is to ensure it stays current.

To accomplish this, it's essential to regularly compare your actual financial performance with what was planned in your financial forecast. Based on your business's current trajectory, you can make adjustments to the forecast.

By diligently monitoring your bread manfacturer's financial health, you'll be able to spot potential financial issues, like unexpected cash shortfalls, early on and take corrective actions. Moreover, this practice will enable you to recognize and capitalize on growth opportunities, such as excess cash flow enabling you to expand to new locations.

To secure financing

Crafting a comprehensive business plan for your bread manfacturer, whether you're starting up or already established, is paramount when you're seeking financing from banks or investors.

Given how fragile small businesses are, financiers will want to ensure that you have a clear roadmap in place as well as command and control of your future cash flows before entertaining the idea of funding you.

For banks, the information in your business plan will be used to assess your borrowing capacity - which is defined as the maximum amount of debt your business can afford alongside your ability to repay the loan. This evaluation helps them decide whether to extend credit to your business and under what terms (interest rate, duration, repayment options, collateral, etc.).

Similarly, investors will thoroughly review your plan to determine if their investment can yield an attractive return. They'll be looking for evidence that your bread manfacturer has the potential for healthy growth, profitability, and consistent cash flow generation over time.

Now that you understand the importance of creating a business plan for your bread manfacturer, let's delve into the necessary information needed to craft an effective plan.

Information needed to create a business plan for a bread manfacturer

Drafting a bread manfacturer business plan requires research so that you can project sales, investments and cost accurately in your financial forecast, and convince the reader that there is a viable commercial opportunity to be seized.

Below, we'll focus on three critical pieces of information you should gather before starting to write your plan.

Carrying out market research for a bread manfacturer

Carrying out market research before writing a business plan for a bread manfacturer is essential to ensure that the financial projections are accurate and realistic.

Market research helps you gain insight into your target customer base, competitors, pricing strategies and other key factors which can have an impact on the commercial success of your business.

In particular, it is useful in forecasting revenue as it provides valuable data regarding potential customers’ spending habits and preferences.

Your market research could reveal that customers may prefer whole wheat or grain-based breads, as they are becoming increasingly popular in the health and wellness sector. Additionally, your research could reveal that customers might be willing to pay a higher price for organic and sustainably-sourced bread products.

This information can then be used to create more accurate financial projections which will help investors make informed decisions about investing in your bread manfacturer.

Developing the marketing plan for a bread manfacturer

Before delving into your bread manfacturer business plan, it's imperative to budget for sales and marketing expenses.

To achieve this, a comprehensive sales and marketing plan is essential. This plan should provide an accurate projection of the necessary actions to acquire and retain customers.

Additionally, it will outline the required workforce to carry out these initiatives and the corresponding budget for promotions, advertising, and other marketing endeavours.

By budgeting accordingly, you can ensure that the right resources are allocated to these vital activities, aligning them with the sales and growth objectives outlined in your business plan.

The staffing and capital expenditure requirements of a bread manfacturer

Whether you are starting or expanding a bread manfacturer, it is important to have a clear plan for recruitment and capital expenditures (investment in equipment and real estate) in order to ensure the success of the business.

Both the recruitment and investment plans need to be coherent with the timing and level of growth planned in your forecast, and require appropriate funding.

A bread manufacturer might incur staffing costs such as wages for employees to operate the machinery, pay for supervisors to oversee production, and money to cover employee benefits. Additionally, they might incur costs for equipment such as ovens, mixers, and other machinery used in the production process, as well as for maintenance and repairs of the equipment.

In order to create a realistic financial forecast, you will also need to consider the other operating expenses associated with running the business on a day-to-day basis (insurance, bookkeeping, etc.). 

Once you have all the necessary information to create a business plan for your bread manfacturer, it is time to start creating your financial forecast.

What goes into your bread manfacturer's financial forecast?

The financial forecast of your bread manfacturer will enable you to assess the profitability potential of your business in the coming years and how much capital is required to fund the actions planned in the business plan.

The four key outputs of a financial forecast for a bread manfacturer are:

• The profit and loss (P&L) statement ,
• The projected balance sheet ,
• The cash flow forecast ,
• And the sources and uses table .

Let's take a closer look at each of these.

The projected P&L statement

Your bread manfacturer forecasted P&L statement enables the reader of your business plan to get an idea of how much revenue and profits your business is expected to make in the near future.

Ideally, your reader will want to see:

• Growth above the inflation level
• Expanding profit margins
• Positive net profit throughout the plan

Expectations for an established bread manfacturer will of course be different than for a startup. Existing businesses which have reached their cruising altitude might have slower growth and higher margins than ventures just being started.

The forecasted balance sheet of your bread manfacturer

The projected balance sheet of your bread manfacturer will enable the reader of your business plan to assess the overall financial health of your business.

It shows three elements: assets, liabilities and equity:

• Assets: are productive resources owned by the business, such as equipment, cash, and accounts receivable (money owed by clients).
• Liabilities: are debts owed to creditors, lenders, and other entities, such as accounts payable (money owed to suppliers).
• Equity: includes the sums invested by the shareholders or business owners and the profits and losses accumulated by the business to date (which are called retained earnings). It is a proxy for the value of the owner's stake in the business.

Analysing your bread manfacturer projected balance sheet provides an understanding of your bread manfacturer's working capital structure, investment and financing policies.

In particular, the readers of your plan can compare the level of financial debt on the balance sheet to the equity value to measure the level of financial risk (equity doesn't need to be reimbursed, while financial debt must be repaid, making it riskier).

They can also use your balance sheet to assess your bread manfacturer's liquidity and solvency:

• A liquidity analysis: focuses on whether or not your business has sufficient cash and short-term assets to cover its liabilities due in the next 12 months.
• A solvency analysis: takes and longer view to assess whether or not your business has the capacity to repay its debts over the medium-term.

The projected cash flow statement

A cash flow forecast for a bread manfacturer shows how much cash the business is projected to generate or consume.

The cash flow statement is divided into 3 main areas:

• The operating cash flow shows how much cash is generated or consumed by the operations (running the business)
• The investing cash flow shows how much cash is being invested in capital expenditure (equipment, real estate, etc.)
• The financing cash flow shows how much cash is raised or distributed to investors and lenders

Looking at the cash flow forecast helps you to ensure that your business has enough cash to keep running, and can help you anticipate potential cash shortfalls.

It is also a best practice to include a monthly cash flow statement in the appendices of your bread manfacturer business plan so that the readers can view the impact of seasonality on your business cash position and generation.

The initial financing plan

The sources and uses table or initial financing plan is a key component of your business plan when starting a bread manfacturer.

It shows where the capital needed to set up the business will come from (sources) and how it will be spent (uses).

This table helps size the investment required to set up the bread manfacturer, and understand how risks will be distributed between the business owners, and the financiers.

The sources and uses table also highlights what the starting cash position will be. This is key for startups as the business needs to have sufficient funding to sustain operations until the break-even point is reached.

Now that you have a clear understanding of what will go into the financial forecast of your bread manfacturer business plan, let's have a look at the written part of the plan.

Need inspiration for your business plan?

The Business Plan Shop has dozens of business plan templates that you can use to get a clear idea of what a complete business plan looks like.

The written part of a bread manfacturer business plan plays a key role: it lays out the plan of action you intend to execute to seize the commercial opportunity you've identified on the market and provides the context needed for the reader to decide if they believe your plan to be achievable and your financial forecast to be realistic.

The written part of a bread manfacturer business plan is composed of 7 main sections:

• The executive summary
• The presentation of the company
• The products and services
• The market analysis
• The strategy
• The operations
• The financial plan

Let's go through the content of each section in more detail!

1. The executive summary

The executive summary, the first section of your bread manfacturer's business plan, serves as an inviting snapshot of your entire plan, leaving readers eager to know more about your business.

To compose an effective executive summary, start with a concise introduction of your business, covering its name, concept, location, history, and unique aspects. Share insights about the services or products you intend to offer and your target customer base.

Subsequently, provide an overview of your bread manfacturer's addressable market, highlighting current trends and potential growth opportunities.

Then, present a summary of critical financial figures, such as projected revenues, profits, and cash flows.

You should then include a summary of your key financial figures such as projected revenues, profits, and cash flows.

Lastly, address any funding needs in the "ask" section of your executive summary.

2. The presentation of the company

In your bread manfacturer business plan, the second section should focus on the structure and ownership, location, and management team of your company.

In the structure and ownership part, you'll provide an overview of the business's legal structure, details about the owners, and their respective investments and ownership shares. This clarity is crucial, especially if you're seeking financing, as it helps the reader understand which legal entity will receive the funds and who controls the business.

Moving on to the location part, you'll offer an overview of the company's premises and their surroundings. Explain why this particular location is of interest, highlighting factors like catchment area, accessibility, and nearby amenities.

When describing the location of your bread manfacturer, you may want to emphasize the area's potential for business growth. You could focus on the area's infrastructure, such as access to major highways, public transportation, proximity to airports, and digital connectivity. You might also highlight the talent pool in the area, as it could be beneficial to have a qualified workforce nearby. Additionally, you could mention the potential for expansion, as the region may have available resources to accommodate a larger business.

Finally, you should introduce your management team. Describe each member's role, background, and experience.

Don't forget to emphasize any past successes achieved by the management team and how long they've been working together. Demonstrating their track record and teamwork will help potential lenders or investors gain confidence in their leadership and ability to execute the business plan.

3. The products and services section

The products and services section of your bread manfacturer business plan should include a detailed description of what your company sells to its customers. 

For example, your bread manfacturer might offer a variety of freshly-baked breads, such as sourdough, whole wheat, and rye, to give customers a selection of tastes and textures. They might also offer speciality breads, such as focaccia and ciabatta, which could be served as a meal accompaniment or as part of an appetizer platter. Finally, they could offer a selection of freshly-baked bread products, such as croissants, bagels, and muffins, to provide customers with a range of breakfast and snack options.

The reader will want to understand what makes your bread manfacturer unique from other businesses in this competitive market.

When drafting this section, you should be precise about the categories of products or services you sell, the clients you are targeting and the channels that you are targeting them through. 

4. The market analysis

When outlining your market analysis in the bread manfacturer business plan, it's essential to include comprehensive details about customers' demographics and segmentation, target market, competition, barriers to entry, and relevant regulations.

The primary aim of this section is to give the reader an understanding of the market size and appeal while demonstrating your expertise in the industry.

To begin, delve into the demographics and segmentation subsection, providing an overview of the addressable market for your bread manfacturer, key marketplace trends, and introducing various customer segments and their preferences in terms of purchasing habits and budgets.

Next, shift your focus to the target market subsection, where you can zoom in on the specific customer segments your bread manfacturer targets. Explain how your products and services are tailored to meet the unique needs of these customers.

For example, your target market might include busy parents. These individuals often have little time to prepare meals for their families, and bread can be a time-saving way to get a meal on the table. They may also appreciate the convenience of buying bread from the grocery store or online, which the bread manufacturer can offer.

In the competition subsection, introduce your main competitors and explain what sets your bread manfacturer apart from them.

Finally, round off your market analysis by providing an overview of the main regulations that apply to your bread manfacturer.

5. The strategy section

When you write the strategy section of your bread manfacturer business plan, remember to cover key elements such as your competitive edge, pricing strategy, sales & marketing plan, milestones, and risks and mitigants.

In the competitive edge subsection, elaborate on what makes your company stand out from competitors. This becomes especially important if you're a startup, aiming to carve a place for yourself amidst established players in the marketplace.

The pricing strategy subsection should demonstrate how you plan to maintain profitability while offering competitive prices to attract customers.

Outline your sales & marketing plan, detailing how you'll reach out to new customers and retain existing ones through loyalty programs or special offers.

For the milestones subsection, outline your company's achievements to date and your main objectives for the future, complete with specific dates to set clear expectations for progress.

Lastly, the risks and mitigants subsection should address the main risks that could affect your plan's execution. Explain the measures you've put in place to minimize these risks, assuring potential investors or lenders.

Your bread manufacturer could face the risk of competition from other businesses. This could lead to a decrease in sales, as customers may begin buying from other businesses. Your bread manufacturer may also face the risk of a financial crisis. This could mean fewer customers due to decreased spending power, or an increase in the cost of ingredients, which could lead to higher prices for customers.

6. The operations section

The operations of your bread manfacturer must be presented in detail in your business plan.

Begin by addressing your staff, specifying the main roles and your recruitment plan to support the anticipated growth. Outline the qualifications and experience needed for each role and discuss your recruitment strategies, which may involve using job boards, referrals, or headhunters.

Next, clearly state your bread manfacturer's operating hours, allowing the reader to gauge the adequacy of your staffing levels. Additionally, mention any considerations for varying opening times during peak seasons and your approach to handling customer queries outside regular operating hours.

The key assets and intellectual property (IP) required to run your business should also be highlighted. If you rely on licenses, trademarks, physical structures like equipment or property, or lease agreements, ensure they are well-documented in this section.

You may have key assets such as a trademarked name and logo for your bread manufacturing business, as well as the proprietary recipes and processes for making your unique bread products. Additionally, you could have intellectual property such as patents for specialized baking equipment you've designed, or trademarks for unique bread flavors you've created. All of these could help to protect your business from competition and ensure that you are the only one able to produce your signature products.

Finally, provide a comprehensive list of suppliers you intend to collaborate with, along with a breakdown of their services and main commercial terms, such as price, payment terms, break clauses and contract duration. Investors often seek insight into the reasons behind your supplier choices, which may include a preference for higher-quality products or established relationships from past ventures.

7. The presentation of the financial plan

The financial plan section is where we will include the financial forecast we talked about earlier in this guide.

Now that you have a clear idea of the content of a bread manfacturer business plan, let's look at some of the tools you can use to create yours.

What tool should I use to write my bread manfacturer's business plan?

In this section, we will be reviewing the two main options for writing a bread manfacturer business plan efficiently:

• Using specialized software,
• Outsourcing the drafting to the business plan writer.

Using an online business plan software for your bread manfacturer's business plan

Using online business planning software is the most efficient and modern way to write a bread manfacturer business plan.

There are several advantages to using specialized software:

• You can easily create your financial forecast by letting the software take care of the financial calculations for you without errors
• You are guided through the writing process by detailed instructions and examples for each part of the plan
• You can access a library of dozens of complete business plan samples and templates for inspiration
• You get a professional business plan, formatted and ready to be sent to your bank or investors
• You can easily track your actual financial performance against your financial forecast
• You can create scenarios to stress test your forecast's main assumptions
• You can easily update your forecast as time goes by to maintain visibility on future cash flows
• You have a friendly support team on standby to assist you when you are stuck

Hiring a business plan writer to write your bread manfacturer's business plan

Outsourcing your bread manfacturer business plan to a business plan writer can also be a viable option.

These writers possess valuable experience in crafting business plans and creating accurate financial forecasts. Additionally, enlisting their services can save you precious time, enabling you to concentrate on the day-to-day operations of your business.

It's important to be mindful, though, that hiring business plan writers comes with a cost. You'll be paying not just for their time but also for the software they use, and their profit margin.

Based on experience, a complete business plan usually requires a budget of at least £1.5k ($2.0k) excluding tax, and more if revisions are needed after initial meetings with lenders or investors - changes often arise following these discussions.

When seeking investment, be cautious about spending too much on consulting fees. Investors prefer their funds to contribute directly to business growth. Thus, the amount you spend on business plan writing services and other consulting services should be negligible compared to the amount you raise.

Another aspect to consider is that while you'll receive the output of the business plan, you usually won't own the actual document. It will be saved in the consultant's business plan software, which will make updating the plan challenging without retaining the consultant on a retainer.

Given these factors, it's essential to carefully weigh the pros and cons of outsourcing your bread manfacturer business plan to a business plan writer and decide what best suits your business's unique needs.

Why not create your bread manfacturer's business plan using Word or Excel?

Using Microsoft Excel and Word (or their Google, Apple, or open-source equivalents) to write a bread manfacturer business plan is not advisable. Allow me to explain the reasons.

Firstly, creating an accurate and error-free financial forecast on Excel or any spreadsheet demands technical expertise in accounting principles and financial modelling. Without a degree in finance and accounting and significant financial modelling experience, it's unlikely that the reader will fully trust your numbers.

Secondly, relying on spreadsheets is inefficient. While it may have been the go-to option in the past, technology has evolved, and software now performs such tasks much faster and more accurately.

The second reason is that it is inefficient. Building forecasts on spreadsheets was the only option in the early 2000s, nowadays technology has advanced and software can do it much faster and much more accurately.

And with the rise of AI, software is also becoming smarter at helping us detect mistakes in our forecasts and helping us analyse the numbers to make better decisions.

Moreover, software offers ease in comparing actuals versus forecasts and maintaining up-to-date forecasts for clear visibility on future cash flows, as we discussed earlier in this guide. Such tasks are cumbersome when using spreadsheets.

Now, let's address the written part of your bread manfacturer business plan. While it may be less prone to errors, using software can significantly boost productivity. Word processors lack instructions and examples for each section of your business plan. They also won't automatically update your numbers when changes occur in your forecast, and they lack automated formatting capabilities.

In summary, while some entrepreneurs may consider Word or Excel for their business plan, it's far from the best or most efficient solution when compared to specialized software.

• Having an up-to-date business plan is key to maintaining visibility on your future cash flows.
• A business plan has 2 parts: a financial forecast highlighting the expected growth, profitability and cash generation of the business; and a written part which provides the context needed to interpret and assess the quality of the forecast.
• Using business plan software is the modern way of writing and maintaining business plans.

Identify And Define The Target Market

Identifying and defining the target market is a crucial step in the process of writing a business plan for a versatile artisan bread baking company. By clearly understanding the target market, you can tailor your products, marketing strategies, and pricing to effectively meet the needs and preferences of your potential customers.

When identifying your target market, consider factors such as demographics, psychographics, and behavior patterns. Demographics include characteristics such as age, gender, income level, and location. Psychographics delve into customers' lifestyle choices, values, interests, and motivations. Additionally, studying customer behavior patterns will help you determine how often they purchase bread, where they currently source it from, and what drives their buying decisions.

Here are some tips to help you identify and define your target market:

• Conduct surveys, interviews, or focus groups to gather insights from potential customers. This will provide invaluable information about their preferences, needs, and expectations.

Once you have identified your target market, it is essential to clearly define it in your business plan. Specify the demographics, psychographics, and behavior patterns of your target customers. This will help you develop effective marketing strategies, positioning your artisan bread products in a way that resonates with your target market and sets you apart from competitors.

Assess Competitors And Understand Market Trends

In order to successfully establish and grow a versatile artisan bread baking company, it is vital to assess competitors and understand the current market trends. This research will provide valuable insights into the existing competition and help identify unique opportunities for your business to thrive.

Firstly, conduct a thorough analysis of the current market landscape. Identify the key players in the artisan bread industry and examine their offerings, pricing strategies, and target markets. Determine their strengths and weaknesses to gain a competitive advantage.

Stay updated with industry publications, trade shows, and online resources to identify emerging flavors, ingredients, and techniques that are gaining popularity among consumers. This will help you stay ahead of the curve and offer bread products that meet the evolving demands and preferences of your target audience.

• Research consumer preferences for different types of bread, such as sourdough, whole wheat, or gluten-free options.
• Identify any specific dietary trends, such as vegan or organic, that you can incorporate into your product offerings.
• Keep an eye on emerging flavor profiles, such as herbs, spices, or unique ingredient combinations, that can set your artisan bread apart from competitors.

By comprehensively assessing competitors and understanding market trends, you will gain valuable knowledge to help you position your versatile artisan bread baking company strategically. This understanding will inform various aspects of your business, including product development, pricing, marketing, and customer targeting, ultimately maximizing your chances of success in a competitive market.

Determine The Unique Selling Proposition (USP) Of The Business

One of the most crucial steps in writing a business plan for a versatile artisan bread baking company is to determine its unique selling proposition (USP). The USP is what sets your business apart from competitors and gives it a competitive edge in the market. It is the distinctive feature or characteristic that makes customers choose your bakery over others.

When determining your USP, it is important to identify the key factors that will attract and retain customers. Consider the following:

• Quality: Emphasize the superior quality of your artisan breads, highlighting the use of natural ingredients, traditional baking methods, and expert craftsmanship. This will appeal to customers seeking premium, high-quality bread products.
• Flavor and Variety: Highlight the unique flavors and diverse range of artisanal breads your bakery will offer. Experiment with different ingredients, incorporating local and organic flavors to cater to a variety of palates.
• Locally Sourced Ingredients: Emphasize your commitment to supporting local suppliers and farmers by sourcing your ingredients locally. This will resonate with customers who prioritize sustainability and supporting their local community.
• Convenience: With an online platform enabling nationwide delivery, emphasize the convenience of ordering your artisan breads from anywhere in the United States. This will attract busy customers who value convenience but still want high-quality, fresh bread products.
• Exceptional Customer Service: Highlight your dedication to providing exceptional customer service. Create a warm and inviting atmosphere in your brick-and-mortar bakery and ensure prompt and attentive customer service through your online platform.

Tips for Determining Your USP:

• Research your competitors to identify gaps in the market that you can fill.
• Conduct surveys or interviews with potential customers to understand their preferences and needs.
• Stay up-to-date with current market trends and incorporate them into your USP.
• Continuously monitor customer feedback and adapt your USP accordingly to stay relevant and meet evolving customer demands.

By determining a clear and compelling USP, you can differentiate your versatile artisan bread baking company and position it as a preferred choice among bread lovers, restaurants, and specialty stores. This will help attract customers and establish a strong presence in the competitive bakery industry.

Create An Initial Budget And Financial Projections

When starting a versatile artisan bread baking business, creating an initial budget and financial projections is crucial to the success and sustainability of your venture. This step allows you to understand the financial requirements of your business and plan accordingly to meet them.

1. Estimate your startup costs: Start by determining the costs involved in setting up your brick-and-mortar bakery, purchasing equipment and ingredients, hiring staff, and marketing your business. Consider both one-time costs and recurring expenses.

2. Calculate your fixed and variable costs: Fixed costs include rent, utilities, salaries, and insurance, while variable costs depend on factors such as the volume of bread production and ingredient prices.

3. Forecast your revenue: Analyze your target market, competitors, and consumer demand to estimate your sales volume and pricing strategy. Consider different revenue sources, such as direct sales from your bakery and online orders with nationwide delivery.

4. Create a cash flow projection: Outline your expected cash inflows and outflows on a monthly or quarterly basis. This will help you identify any potential cash flow gaps and allows you to plan accordingly to ensure a healthy financial position.

5. Consider different funding options: Evaluate whether you have sufficient personal savings to fund your business or if you need external financing. This could include options such as small business loans, crowdfunding, or seeking investors.

6. Monitor and track expenses: Keep a close eye on your spending and regularly review your financial reports. This will help you identify areas where costs can be optimized and make necessary adjustments to stay within budget.

• Consult with a financial advisor or accountant to ensure accuracy and good financial management practices.
• Research and compare suppliers to get the best prices for ingredients and equipment.
• Consider conducting a break-even analysis to determine the point at which your business will start generating profit.
• Regularly revisit and update your budget and financial projections as your business grows and market conditions change. This will help you stay on track and make informed decisions.

Define The Business Structure And Legal Requirements

When starting a versatile artisan bread baking company, it is crucial to define the business structure and understand the legal requirements associated with operating such a business. This step ensures that you comply with all the necessary regulations and set a solid foundation for your venture.

Business Structure: One of the first decisions you need to make is determining the legal structure of your business. Common options include sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company (LLC), or corporation. Each structure has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it is important to consider factors such as liability protection, tax implications, and the ability to raise funds.

Legal Requirements: It is essential to research and understand the legal requirements specific to the food industry and artisan bread baking. This may include obtaining necessary permits and licenses to operate a bakery, adhering to food safety and hygiene regulations, and complying with labeling and packaging requirements. Additionally, you may need to register your business name, obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN), and comply with employment laws if you plan to hire employees.

• Consult with an attorney or business advisor who specializes in the food industry to ensure you meet all legal requirements and protect your business.
• Research local, state, and federal regulations to ensure compliance with food safety standards and labeling requirements.
• Consider obtaining professional liability insurance to protect your business in case of any legal issues.
• Keep detailed records of all permits, licenses, and certifications required to operate your artisan bread baking business.

Develop A Comprehensive Marketing Plan

A comprehensive marketing plan is essential for the success of any business, and your versatile artisan bread baking company is no exception. A well-developed marketing plan will help you identify your target audience, establish your brand identity, and effectively promote your products to potential customers. Here are some important steps to consider when creating your marketing plan:

• Identify your target market: Before you can effectively market your artisan bread products, it's crucial to understand who your target audience is. Conduct thorough market research to identify key demographics, preferences, and purchasing behaviors of your potential customers. This will help you tailor your marketing messages and strategies to appeal to your target market.
• Establish your brand identity: Your brand identity is what sets you apart from your competitors. Define your brand values, mission, and unique selling proposition (USP) that make your versatile artisan bread stand out. Use these elements to create a compelling brand story and visual identity that resonates with your target audience.
• Create a marketing budget: Determine how much you can allocate towards marketing efforts. Consider the costs of various marketing channels such as social media advertising, content creation, search engine optimization (SEO), and traditional advertising. Remember to allocate funds for both online and offline marketing activities.
• Plan your marketing strategies: Based on your target market and budget, develop a comprehensive marketing strategy that includes a mix of online and offline tactics. This can include social media marketing, email marketing, influencer partnerships, content creation, events, and collaborations with other local businesses to increase brand exposure.
• Monitor and measure your marketing efforts: Regularly track and analyze the performance of your marketing campaigns. Use web analytics tools to monitor website traffic, engagement, and conversion rates. Collect customer feedback through surveys and reviews to assess the effectiveness of your marketing strategies and make any necessary adjustments.

Tips for Developing Your Marketing Plan

• Utilize social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter to showcase your visually appealing artisan bread products and engage with your target audience.
• Collaborate with local influencers or food bloggers to create buzz around your brand and reach a wider audience.
• Consider offering samples or hosting tasting events to introduce your products to potential customers and build brand loyalty.
• Create compelling and informative content such as recipes, blog posts, and educational videos to establish yourself as an authority in the artisan bread industry.
• Build relationships with local restaurants, cafes, and specialty stores to secure partnerships and increase the distribution of your products.

Identify And Secure Necessary Resources And Equipment

Once you have determined the specific needs of your artisan bread baking business, it is crucial to identify and secure the necessary resources and equipment to ensure smooth operations. Here are some important steps to consider:

• Make a list of required resources: Begin by making a comprehensive list of all the resources and equipment you will need to run your bakery effectively. This list may include items such as commercial ovens, mixers, proofing cabinets, scales, rolling pins, baking sheets, and packaging materials. It is essential to determine the quantity and quality of each item based on your anticipated production volume and the scale of your operations.
• Research suppliers: Take the time to research and identify reliable suppliers for the equipment and resources you need. Consider factors such as the reputation of the supplier, pricing, warranties, and customer support. Reach out to multiple vendors and compare their offerings to ensure you make informed decisions and negotiate favorable prices.
• Consider leasing options: Investing in high-quality equipment can be a significant expense for a new business. Consider exploring leasing options for certain items to minimize upfront costs. Leasing can provide flexibility and allow you to upgrade equipment as your business grows.
• Seek recommendations from other bakery owners or industry professionals for reliable suppliers.
• Take into account not just the upfront cost of equipment, but also maintenance and repair costs over time.
• Consider the impact of energy efficiency on your bakery's operational costs and environmental footprint when choosing equipment.

By identifying and securing the necessary resources and equipment, you are laying the foundation for a successful artisan bread baking business. Remember to conduct thorough research, compare options, and make informed decisions that align with your business goals and budget. Efficient and reliable equipment will contribute to the production of high-quality bread products and ensure the satisfaction of your customers.

Conduct A Feasibility Study To Assess The Viability Of The Business Idea

Conducting a feasibility study is a crucial step in determining the viability of your versatile artisan bread baking business idea. This study will help you evaluate the potential success of your business by analyzing various factors such as market demand, profitability, competition, and resource availability.

Identify competitors in your target market, assess their strengths and weaknesses, and understand their pricing, marketing strategies, and product offerings. This information will help you identify potential opportunities and challenges your business may face in the market.

Company Description

Home Sweet Home Baked Goods is a home-based bakery in Bend, Oregon that has been operating successfully for the last 3 years. Founded by passionate baker Jill Davis and her husband Sam, Home Sweet Home Baked Goods specializes in creating custom cakes, cupcakes, pies, and other desserts from scratch. The company’s focus on quality ingredients, innovative recipes, experienced baking staff, and updated equipment sets them apart from its competitors.

Home Sweet Home Baked Goods strives to provide customers with an exceptional experience each time they visit the store by using locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. This commitment to excellence has allowed them to expand their customer base across the region, leading them to seek funding for a brick-and-mortar storefront bakery location in Bend that will bring even more delicious baked goods and job opportunities to local residents.  

The Bend, Oregon home-based bakery industry is a booming sector that has seen significant growth in the last three years. According to figures released by the Oregon Department of Agriculture, retail bakeries generated over $200 million in sales in 2019 alone, up 8.3% from 2018. The number of establishments operating within the state has also increased, with seven new businesses opening their doors in 2019.

The majority of these bakeries specialize in cakes and cupcakes, though some offer other items such as pies and donuts. The market for specialty items is particularly competitive, with many bakeries offering custom designs that cater to specific dietary needs or themes. This demand has encouraged a larger variety of offerings from existing businesses and attracted more upstart shops to enter the market.

Bend’s bakery scene is driven by its large base of tourists and university students who often seek out unique treats while visiting the city. As a result, many local bakeries have developed memorable branding campaigns that target these customers and feature unique flavors or design styles that set them apart from competitors. These efforts have been rewarded with higher rates of customer loyalty, allowing these businesses to enjoy continued success despite an increasingly crowded marketplace.

Despite its popularity as a destination for bakers and dessert lovers alike, Bend also faces certain challenges that may affect business operations going forward. High rent prices are one such issue; with real estate costs on the rise, it can be difficult for small local businesses to secure an affordable space without sacrificing quality or service standards. Additionally, Bend’s seasonal climate – boasting cold winters and dry summers – makes it difficult for certain items such as ice cream or frozen yogurt to remain popular year-round options for consumers.

Overall, however, Bend remains an excellent location for home-based bakers seeking to expand their operations into a storefront setting due to its vibrant culture and lively atmosphere. With proper planning and execution, Home Sweet Home Baked Goods can position itself as a leader in this growing industry while helping bring more culinary creativity and innovation to the area’s residents and visitors alike.  

Home Sweet Home Baked Goods has an ideal target market that includes both local customers and visitors to Bend, Oregon. The company is particularly passionate about providing locally sourced ingredients in its baked goods, making it a natural draw for people who live in the Bend area.

The local demographic consists primarily of working professionals, families with children, retirees, and university students. These customers are looking for high-quality desserts that cater to their individual dietary needs while also remaining reasonably priced. Home Sweet Home Baked Goods’ emphasis on using local ingredients appeals to this demographic as it shows their commitment to supporting the local economy and providing fresher products.

The company also seeks to attract tourists with its innovative recipes and memorable design themes. Tourists often seek out interesting treats while visiting cities such as Bend due to their limited time frames; baked goods created with original recipes can be a great way to provide these customers with an enjoyable experience that they won’t find anywhere else. Furthermore, its custom designs help create an even more unique experience for each customer – whether a visitor or local resident – by allowing them to customize their order based on specific dietary restrictions or preferences.

Psychographically, Home Sweet Home Baked Goods targets individuals who are looking for quality desserts made from fresh ingredients but don’t want to sacrifice taste or convenience. The company is committed to creating innovative recipes that appeal to customers of all ages and encourages its customers to interact with staff members for advice or suggestions when ordering customized items – this gives them an added sense of security when selecting special orders knowing that they are getting exactly what they need from the bakery’s staff of experienced bakers. Moreover, Home Sweet Home Baked Goods’ commitment to using locally sourced ingredients resonates strongly with individuals who value sustainability and ethical production processes; this connection can become even stronger if the company decides to partner with local farms or purveyors when sourcing their ingredients in the near future.

Overall, Home Sweet Home Baked Goods is aimed at professional adults and families looking for delicious yet affordable treats made from quality ingredients as well as visitors interested in finding original recipes while discovering Bend’s culinary scene. By providing customer service excellence paired with locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, the company seeks not only to build a loyal customer base but also to contribute positively towards the overall development of Bend’s culinary industry.  

Competitor Analysis

Home Sweet Home Baked Goods will be entering a very competitive market in Bend, Oregon. The local bakery market is saturated with many established businesses that have been around for several years, offering a variety of products and services. Therefore, the company must assess the competition and identify its strengths and weaknesses in order to create effective differentiation strategies that will allow it to stand out from the crowd.

One of the main competitors in the region is The Baker’s Dozen Bakery, which has been operating since 2000. The business offers a wide range of baked goods such as cookies, cakes, muffins, brownies, doughnuts and more; their prices are slightly higher than those of Home Sweet Home Baked Goods but customers are willing to pay for their quality products. Furthermore, The Baker’s Dozen Bakery has built a strong reputation by catering events in the area as well as providing custom orders for special occasions. In addition to this, they also offer delivery services throughout Bend; while this may not be a major advantage over Home Sweet Home Baked Goods now due to the pandemic-related restrictions on food service industry operations in most areas, it could potentially become an important asset when things return to normal.

Another competitor is Sweeter Things Bakery & Cafe which has been running since 2013. This business specializes in customized cakes made with fresh ingredients; these expensive desserts appeal to customers looking for something extra special for weddings or birthdays whereas The Baker’s Dozen Bakery focuses more on traditional baked goods such as cupcakes and cookies. Sweeter Things Bakery & Cafe also offers delivery services throughout Bend just like The Baker’s Dozen Bakery – again, this could be an important factor once restrictions are lifted.

Finally, there is Kate’s Cupcakery which opened up in 2016 and focuses solely on cupcakes. While this business does offer unique flavors and custom designs that appeal to customers looking for something different from traditional cupcakes (i.e., gluten-free or vegan baked goods), its menu is limited compared to those offered by both The Baker’s Dozen Bakery and Sweeter Things Bakery & Cafe which provides wider varieties of baked goods plus other pastries like pies or tarts. Additionally, Kate’s Cupcakery does not offer delivery services so customers would have to visit the store if they want one of their cupcakes – this could pose a potential disadvantage if other competitors start providing delivery services once restrictions are lifted due to the pandemic situation.

Overall, while all three businesses have great potential they do not necessarily provide what Home Sweet Home Baked Goods plans on delivering: locally sourced ingredients used whenever possible combined with innovative recipes and custom designs catering specifically towards individual needs – all at reasonable prices that appeal both local residents and visitors alike. By leveraging these aspects that differentiate them from other competitors in the area, Home Sweet Home Baked Goods should be able to position itself as a leader in Bend’s bakery industry while still maintaining a competitive edge.

In order to do so, Home Sweet Home Baked Goods must focus on creating an engaging and unique atmosphere that will draw customers in. This can be done by utilizing modern design approaches and incorporating eco-friendly materials when possible as well as providing custom flavors that cannot be found elsewhere in the city. Offering discounts for orders placed online or through their app could also help to attract more customers while simultaneously cutting operational costs. Additionally, they must ensure that their products are of high quality; offering samples and feedback forms at the store are great ways to get customer opinions on what they like or dislike about a particular product – this information can then be used to make necessary improvements as needed or create new recipes. With the right combination of these elements, Home Sweet Home Baked Goods should be able to stand out from all other competitors in Bend and establish itself as the go-to bakery for all locals and visitors alike.

Home Sweet Home Baked Goods is a home-based bakery that offers locally sourced ingredients and innovative recipes.

As we expand to a storefront location in Bend, our goal is to create an engaging atmosphere that will draw customers in while providing quality products that can’t be found elsewhere.  

Daily Operations:

We will begin each day by prepping the ingredients and baking batches of our products. This includes sifting flour and pre-measuring all other ingredients so that our pastries are made with the utmost care and precision. In addition, we will also make sure to check the expiration date on all ingredients used to ensure freshness.

After baking has been completed, we will package up the products for sale or delivery depending on customer orders. Finally, we will clean up any messes from the kitchen area before closing for the day.  

Milestones to Achieve:

The following milestones will be necessary to ensure the success of Home Sweet Home Baked Goods.

• Develop Relationships with Local Suppliers – We will create relationships with local suppliers to get fresh ingredients as quickly and efficiently as possible.
• Create a Website and Social Media Platforms – We will need to build a website that advertises our products, informs customers about delivery options, and provides contact information for orders. Additionally, we will develop social media accounts on popular platforms like Instagram and Facebook in order to reach a wider audience and engage customers through content marketing strategies.
• Offer Promotional Offers – We will need to create promotional offers such as discounts or free samples at the store in order to draw more customers into the shop.
• Develop Innovative Recipes – We will need to come up with new flavors, designs, and recipes in order to keep customers coming back for more.
• Increase Visibility – We will need to use strategies such as app ads and digital marketing campaigns in order to increase the visibility of our business and reach more potential customers.

By achieving these milestones, we will be able to create a successful storefront location that provides quality products and an enjoyable atmosphere. Our goal is to become a fixture in the Bend community by creating a safe space where people can come together over delicious baked goods.

Home Sweet Home Baked Goods is dedicated to providing quality baked goods and an enjoyable atmosphere for their customers. To ensure the success of their storefront, they need to create a comprehensive financial plan that outlines their projected growth and profitability.

In summary, Home Sweet Home Baked Goods’ financial plan is based on the following assumptions:

• Initial Start-Up Capital – We will need to raise initial start-up capital of $30,000 in order to cover expenses such as rent, equipment, and inventory for our storefront location.
• Profitability – We anticipate a 10% increase in sales every month, resulting in a steady growth of profitability.
• Cost of Goods Sold – We estimate our cost of goods sold to be 35% which is lower than the industry average due to our commitment to quality ingredients and competitive prices.
• Working Capital – Our working capital requirement will need to be adequate enough to cover at least three months of inventory, wages for staff, and other operating expenses.
• Financing – We plan to raise funds from a combination of personal savings, investors, and bank loans in order to meet our initial start-up capital requirements.
• Expansion – We anticipate the need for additional space or equipment within 12 months of opening.
• Taxes – We plan to pay estimated taxes quarterly throughout the year in order to remain compliant with federal regulations.

These assumptions will form the basis of our financial plan for Home Sweet Home Baked Goods and will help us to determine how we should allocate funds in order to reach our desired business goals. With this financial plan, we hope to transition Home Sweet Home Baked Goods into a successful storefront business.

2. Write an executive summary

The executive summary is a concise description of your entire bakery business plan. It highlights the key findings and entices the reader to delve further into your business plan. So make sure to keep it interesting.

A well-drafted executive summary includes an answer to every question, a potential investor might have.

For instance,

• What is the core objective of your bakery business?
• What are the pain points of your target customers and what solutions can you offer?
• What type of baked goods will you offer?
• What is your target market?
• What is your marketing strategy?
• What are the financial highlights of your bakery business?

As you start writing, remember that the executive summary should summarize the plan and not your business idea.

Lastly, fit your compelling summary description in 1-2 pages.

3. Conduct a competitive and market analysis

The market analysis section paints a clear picture of your ideal target market, bakery industry trends, and your competitors in the market. In a way, this section is your chance to validate the potential success of your bakery shop.

The market analysis section of your bakery plan must include:

Market share, growth potential, and industry trends

Identify your targeted available market (TAM) through thorough market research and determine your share in the bakery market. Analyze the emerging trends in the bakery market and assess your growth potential as a retail bakery.

Understanding of the target market 

Who will be your potential customer at a bakery shop?

It gets much easier to succeed in the market when you have a clear understanding of who your target customers are.

In this section of customer analysis, you will create a buyer’s persona of your ideal customer by understanding their psychographic and demographic details.

Competitor analysis

This is an equally important part of the market study, where you evaluate the position and competitive landscape of your bakery shop.

Begin by identifying your top competitors and evaluate your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats against other bakeries. Establish your competitive edge and show the potential investors that your business stands a promising opportunity in the competitive market.

4. Prepare a company overview

The company overview section of a bakery’s business plan is a brief description of your bakery business concept, its legal structure, location, and value proposition.

Be creative and write a compelling section that can propel the readers’ interest in your business idea.

Wondering what to include in your bakery’s company overview section? Let’s check:

• Type of bakery business: retail bakery, specialty bakery, cloud bakery, mobile bakery, etc.
• Business structure: Sole proprietorship, LLC, partnership LLC, corporation, etc.
• Mission statement
• Value proposition
• Quantifiable business goals and milestones
• History and background of the bakery, if applicable
• Partnership and ownership structure
• Name of owners/ partners
• Operating hours
• Service style

Drill down to details and make this section an engaging read.

5. Describe your products and services

After describing your bakery structure and mission statement in the previous section, you will now outline the product and service offerings of your bakery shop.

As a bakery business, you may sell a variety of delicious baked goods such as pastries, cakes, fresh bread, cookies, tarts, pies, donuts, sweet buns, etc. Add this to your product section and also non-baked goods such as savory snacks, coffee, etc, if it’s on your menu offering.

Specifically mention, if you will have products for special diets, i.e. gluten-free, keto-friendly, sugar-free, vegan baked goods, etc.

6. Bakery store design and layout

An effective bakery business plan must include a blueprint of your bakery shop’s layout and design to demonstrate the bakery’s concept practically to the readers.

Mention your bakery size and the space allocated for the back of the house and front of the house operations. Also, explain how the proposed layout will increase the efficiency of your business operations in great detail.

In this section, you will also talk about the decor and theme that will create a warm ambiance for your target audience. Keep in mind that the decor should reflect the branding image you want to create in your target market.

Offer an immersive experience to the readers while explaining this section.

7. Prepare a bakery marketing plan

The marketing plan offers a detailed outlook of marketing strategies you will use to market and promote your bakery shop. Consider it as a roadmap that will guide you in building a brand of sustainable value in the market.

So how do you build a perfect marketing plan?

Begin by identifying the marketing channels and different types of digital marketing campaigns that will work best for your potential customers. Now, allocate the monthly budget to different marketing activities. Lastly, devise a marketing strategy for each channel with a clear plan of action.

Here are a few marketing strategies that are popularly used by successful bakery businesses:

• Social media platforms for brand development
• Email marketing for promotional offers
• Video content such as easy baking recipes, tips, tricks, etc
• Online workshops and live sessions
• Influencer marketing
• Tasting events and sampling
• Customer testimonials

Now detail all your plans in this section and show your investors that you have a solid way to establish your business’s popularity in its target market.

8. Outline your organizational structure

In this section of your bakery business plan, you introduce the management team and employees at your shop. Also, highlight the organizational structure and hierarchy of employees in the organization.

Begin by introducing the owners and their role in your organization. Highlight their experience in the bakery industry and the key skills that can benefit the business.

Introduce your talented baker and their role in recipe development and standardization. Show their experience in the baking field and prove their asset worthiness.

Draw a clear flowchart depicting the flow of authority and responsibility in your bakery business. It is your chance to show the investors that you have a team and knack to take this business on a successful path.

9. Create a logistics and operational plan

The operations plan of your bakery business plan is a strategic document highlighting the processes, procedures, and resources needed to efficiently run your bakery shop.

A well-planned operations plan is like a business manual that has answers to all the questions one might have while running a bakery shop.

Wondering what to add to your operations plan? Well try to include answers to the following questions to make it detailed and comprehensive:

• Physical facilities: What will be your bakery location to produce bakery goods? Will you serve customers from that location or a different shop? Are you planning to sell the bakery goods online?
• Suppliers: Where will you get the raw materials and supplies for producing bakery goods? Who will supply non-bakery items like scones, sandwiches, and savory snacks?
• Inventory: Where will you store the raw material and ingredients? What will be the shelf life of these ingredients? How will you manage the stock levels? What are the minimum thresholds for different items and how long it takes to stock them?
• Production: Who will bake the goods? How long is the process? Will everything be made fresh or in batches to be stored for a few days? Will there be recipe cost cards for each menu item? How will you meet an unexpected spike in demand?
• Bakery Equipment: What type of bakery equipment will you require? Will there be a POS system at your store? What other technologies will you use? How will you take online orders?

The amount of precision here will help you regulate your operating expenses once the bakery starts serving the customers. Proper planning is advisable at this stage.

10. Create a Financial Plan

And now comes the most exciting part for investors- a financial plan. The figures in financial statements are helpful in determining the viability of your business idea. So this section holds a considerable weightage in terms of whether you will get funding or not.

To ensure you create a comprehensive financial plan, including financial projections for these key components:

• Cost of starting a bakery shop
• Sales forecast
• Revenue projection
• Operating expenses
• Pricing strategy
• Income statement/ Profit & Loss statement
• Break-even analysis
• Cash flow statement
• Balance sheet
• Business ratios

In this section, you will also evaluate your funding requirements and identify the funding sources for your business. i.e. bank loans, SBA-guaranteed loans, angel investors, and personal savings.

Having realistic financial projections at hand will help you realize your financial goals while evaluating the sustainability of your bakery business.

However, creating the projections for all these elements from scratch can get overwhelming. Additionally,  you also need to work on visuals and graphs to add impact and clarity to your plan.

Well, there is an easy way. Create your plan with the Upmetrics Financial forecasting tool . This tool will generate key reports and visuals that can be easily downloaded and added to your plan.

We hope this sample plan will guide you in writing a perfect business plan. Now, let’s move forward and check the industry trends ruling the bakery world.

Bakery Management

What is bakery management.

Bakery management encompasses all activities intended to manage bakery operations. It may include but is not limited to the following 10 macro-processes:

• Production planning and demand forecasting
• Raw materials and ingredients supply
• Production management
• Engineering and maintenance
• Plant personnel management
• Continuous improvement
• Quality assurance
• Plant sanitation
• Plant economics control, overall plant operation and financial reports
• Support and strategic areas (R&D, bakery formulations)

All these processes must work closely in order to obtain the best results. Bakery management requires both experience and professional education. The best managers are those who listen, inspire and develop people to become future operation leaders.

How it works

The 10 macro-processes listed above can be broken down into several components to obtain a better idea of what they stand for:

• Team work with Sales Department
• MRP (materials requirement planning)
• Negotiations with suppliers (minimum order quantity, prices per lb or Kg, bulk or discrete amount deliveries, lead times based on bakery’s needs, specifications)
• Periodic purchasing (purchase orders, communication with suppliers)
• Stock / inventory management (FIFO rotation, minimum stock according to internal policies, material’s shelf life, and storage space available in racks)
• Material receiving standards and procedures according to specifications established by R&D and QA
• Materials and time efficiency (changeover time, total production time, downtimes due to equipment failures)
• Product yield based on line speed and planned batches
• Process waste
• Product coding (manufacturing date, best before date, traceability coding)
• Finished product delivery to Logistics Department
• Operational assets management
• Preventive maintenance
• Corrective maintenance (urgent mechanical repairs, parts replacement, general interventions on essential production equipment to avoid line stoppages)
• Equipment and parts purchasing
• Participation in bakery engineering projects (new oven, new mixer, equipment overhauling, etc.)
• People training and education (bakery technology, handling of fire extinguishing devices, accident prevention, food safety and good manufacturing practices)
• Leaders development
• Promotion processes
• Implementation of lean manufacturing tools at plant level (5S’s, Six Sigma methodology, Total Productive Maintenance)
• Participation in plant meetings to improve any condition in the production process (material- or equipment-related) that may impact productivity positively
• Application of statistical tools to current processes in order to find improvement opportunities and take actions based on findings
• Specifications for raw materials (wheat flour, yeast, sugar, etc.)
• Specifications for finished products (bread, buns, cakes, etc.)
• Specifications for packaging materials (boxes, bags, etc.)
• Lab analysis (moisture content, pH, water activity, nutrient composition, colorimetry, rheological assessment of doughs and batters)
• Documentation, implementation and control of food safety management systems)
• Participation in HACCP Team meetings
• Responsible for internal and external (certification) audits on HACCP, GMPs, FSMA
• Planning and execution of cleaning and sanitation activities on food and non-food contact surfaces (walls, floor, processing equipment, conveyor bands, etc.)
• Pest management (indoor and outdoor environments)
• Implementation and control of food safety management systems)
• Overall plant operation reports (daily, weekly and monthly)
• Financial reports for top management
• Manufacturing costs
• Financial impact of waste
• Plant performance review
• Product development
• Bakery formulations development and approval
• Ingredient technologies for sugar and fat reduction
• Clean label solutions for chemical dough conditioners replacement
• Testing of enzymes following standard procedures and execution of bake tests

Application

Proper bakery management becomes critical when operations become more complex as sales increase. As a bakery scales up, it needs more tools to better control costs, optimize equipment usage, obtain better prices due to higher volumes, etc.

When it is time to make a big change, bakery managers often hire consultants to prepare the necessary steps and establish the required macro-processes (such as those listed above) that enable the bakery to reach a new level of control over plant operations.

As bakery operations increase in complexity and size, a key thing is to keep things simple and practical.

Introduction

Hello friends, today we are here with a new topic of “ Bread Manufacturing Project Report and Bread Making Business Plan ” in India. Bread is an affordable and convenient food which is in huge demand for years. The Bread making business is especially concentrated in bakeries that are well-versed in making and selling pieces of bread. If an individual is willing to start a business with less investment, then the bread manufacturing business is a perfect opportunity and, in this post, detailed information and steps have been included for this business. It is a small-scale project and does not require a huge licensing process.

A step-by-step guide to Bread Manufacturing Project Report and Business Plan in India

In the modern era, bread is in gaining demand and becoming essential food in the human diet as it is a readymade food product and has a higher nutritive value. It is considered to be the top among the most edible wheat-based item.

In various provinces of India, the per capita intake of bread ranges between 1.5kg – 1.75kg. Around 1800 small-scale bread manufacturers have been there in our nation, apart from that about 2 large scale and 25 medium scale manufacturers are producing which continue production based on their production volume. Basic raw materials needed in bread manufacturing are wheat flour, sugar, yeast, salt, water, and shortening agent. Apart from raw materials, machinery and technology are also equally important to start a manufacturing business in a country like India.

To select a proper location to start a bread manufacturing business in India, it is vital to think of a location with good connectivity concerning resources and the market. The business can be started either from home or on a large scale you might need a commercial kitchen required. When you desire to start on a large-scale basis then it’s necessary to get a certificate of occupancy (CO).

This law will take care and affirm that your location is having all building permission, abide by zoning laws and government regulations. If you plan to operate a business using a rental location then it’s the landlord who has to get that certificate. Hence, before you commit on land for rent or as a lease, confirm that you gain a certificate from the landowner. Besides, if you have your land and plan the production unit there, you have to approach for a certificate from the local authority.

For any business irrespective of its size, it’s essential to get registration. You should begin the company, based on its category as a proprietorship when it is in a small-scale pattern. However, there are a few other permissions and license requirements before performing the business operations in form of a business organization.

• FSSAI license
• GST Registration
• Food License
• Police Eating House license
• Fire License
• Health License
• Udyam registration for MSME
• Local Municipal Corporation Health License

In the bread manufacturing business, all the machinery needed is made of stainless steel only that has food-grade certificate either it’s a small-scale business or you plan for commercial scale. We have added some of the necessary equipment needed during production:

• Spray bottle
• Dough mixers
• Dough scorers
• Dough scrapers
• Dough dividers
• Proving cabinets
• Weighing scale
• Baking trays
• Retarder prover
• Stainless steel tabletop
• Bench brush

Step 1: Gather the components that mean collecting all ingredients in one place and weigh as per recipe demand and ensure the ingredients are of high quality and at optimal temperature. Weigh ingredients with digital weighing balance for exact quantity and perform sifting of the flour to avoid impurities.

Step 2: Mixing of the Ingredients includes collecting and mixing properly to prepare the dough. There are several ways in which bread is mixed or kneaded such as the straight dough method, the fermentor sponge method, and the Salt delayed method. With either of the methods stated here proper dough is made.

Step 3: In the step, called Proving the dough rises to double in its size. The yeast in the dough breaks dough into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Released gases help ferment and distribute consistently. The optimal temperature required for proving is 32°C. Proving is done in a stepwise manner. The first one is performed after kneading called first proving; the second one is performed after “knockback” called intermediate proving and the last proving is done after shaping of the bread known as final proving.

Step 4: KnockBack is the punching of the dough to eliminate any air bubbles developed during intermediate proving and it will help to evenly distribute all ingredients properly in the dough. The knock-back step is also performed to equalize the temperature in the dough.

Step 5: Dividing and scaling

In this step, the dough is divided into pieces of the necessary weight. The scaling of the bread is based upon the size of the mold where the bread is going to be baked.

Step 6: Shaping/ Panning which infers the dough is scaled and then shaped. Firstly, the dough is left to stand for some time which allows it for shaping without pressure. This is referred to as panning which means to shape the bread and keep it in the pan.

Step 7: Final Proving is performed using equipment called a proving cabinet or proving chamber. These chambers-maintained temperature 30°C maintained and a 90% moisture level which is optimal for yeast fermentation.

Step 8: Scoring is the process wherein marks are provided on top of the dough with a sharp blade or knife that aids to expand the bread during baking and prevents it from cracking.

Step 9: Baking means the bread is now sent for final baking performed in three steps using the oven and during this step dough passes through various temperatures to get the final product.

Step 10: Cooling of the baked bread where the bread is properly demolded and cooled rapidly before cutting and then final slicing is done at 35°C or moderate temperature.

It is prepared with various additives, such as fruits, nuts, fats, and chemical additives, to improve its flavor, texture, color, and shelf life. It is a rich source of energy, protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamin B, iron, and calcium. It provides fiber and has a lower glycemic index (GI) that helps reduce blood sugar levels. It assists in enhancing the digestive system and protecting the body from harmful bacteria and fungi. It offers protein that aids in controlling the appetite, increasing muscle mass, and maintaining bone health.

At present, there is a rise in the demand for whole-meal bread with oats, bran, and seeds among the masses around the world. This, along with the increasing demand for wide varieties of bread, represents one of the key factors supporting the growth of the market. In addition, key players are leveraging the acceptance of regional bread specialties to create value-added products and diversify their assortments. They are also offering bread with additional veggies, such as carrots, beetroot, or spinach, which is propelling the growth of the market. Besides this, the growing demand for fortified, clean-label, and organic bread due to the rising health consciousness among the masses is positively influencing the market. Moreover, the increasing awareness among consumers about the benefits of bread is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Apart from this, the growing consumption of bread with natural ingredients, such as natural preservatives, antioxidants, and enzymes, is providing a favorable market outlook. Additionally, the wide availability of bread through various distribution channels, such as supermarkets, hypermarkets, retail stores, and online platforms, is strengthening the growth of the market. Furthermore, the rising demand for ready-to-eat (RTE) food products due to busy lifestyles is bolstering the growth of the market.

United Airlines asks pilots to take time off due to shortage of new Boeing planes

Airline faces delay in receiving new planes as Boeing struggles with production due to manufacturing problems

United Airlines is asking its pilots to take time off in May because of delays in receiving new planes that the airline ordered from Boeing , which is struggling with production due to manufacturing problems.

A United spokesperson said Monday that the offer is voluntary.

“Due to the recent delays in Boeing deliveries, our forecasted (flight hours) have been reduced and we are offering our pilots voluntary programs for the month of May to reduce excess staffing,” spokesperson Leslie Scott said.

In a note to pilots obtained by The Associated Press, United said it expects to make similar requests during the summer and possibly into the fall.

The Air Line Pilots Association said United is offering short-term leaves and unpaid time off, but they are not mandatory.

Boeing declined to comment.

United doesn’t expect to get all the Boeing jetliners it ordered and was due to receive this year or next year. A month ago, United said it was contractually due 191 planes this year and 127 next year but expects to receive only 88 this year and 64 in 2025.

Almost all of the shortfall consists of Boeing 737 Max planes, including a new, larger model. United had planned to begin flying 80 Max 10 jets this year. The Federal Aviation Administration has not yet certified the Max 10, however, and FAA approval is likely to be further delayed by increased scrutiny of Boeing since a panel blew out of an Alaska Airlines Max 9 in January.
