9 bakery snacks to sell and make a profit
Bi Salgados is a snack bar located in the city of Sorocaba, and offers fried, baked and frozen snacks.
The client contacted Líder Jr. seeking help in defining prices for the numerous snacks offered in their business, including fried and baked snacks that are offered in the mint database snack shop. So that the price is capable of covering all costs, expenses and the desired profit margin , which was not the case before the project was delivered.
2. The Challenge
First of all, costing is the basis for the success of any company, including the production of savory snacks. Knowing the exact cost of each item sold allows you to set competitive prices, ensure profitability and make strategic decisions with confidence. Without good costing, the company runs the risk of selling below cost, incurring losses and even going bankrupt.
3. Development
The project for the snack bar, Bi Salgados, lasted 7 weeks and involved a team of three people.
Furthermore, during the development of the project, the team held alignment meetings with the client to obtain information about the production of snacks, fixed and variable costs and to validate partial deliveries.
After weeks of research and in-depth analysis, the team crowned the project with the delivery of a crucial tool: a meticulously crafted spreadsheet for strategic pricing of the snack shop’s products. This spreadsheet acts as a compass, guiding the company in setting the ideal prices for each menu item, ensuring the business’s long-term success.
Unlocking the secrets of the spreadsheet
Costs and prices tailored to each item: The spreadsheet maps out in detail the production costs and ideal sales prices for each product, taking into account the size of the snack shop and the prices charged in the market. This analysis ensures that each item is priced fairly and competitively, maximizing the company's profitability.
Balance between expenses and profits: The spreadsheet is not limited to setting prices. It also indicates the minimum sales quantity required to reduce the percentage of expenses and boost the coffee shop’s profit margin. This crucial information allows the company to set realistic sales goals and optimize its resources, ensuring the sustainability of the business.
