Trial a weekday bake plan for Deluxe
Set the Deluxe bake for each weekday from the estimate rather than a fixed amount, for two weeks, and compare short days and returns with the two weeks before. Reversible at any time.
Recommendations
What we suggest
Changes we suggest trying, smallest and most reversible first.
Count good loaves from a few batches
For three or four Deluxe batches, count the good loaves that come out of the oven and compare with the 216 standard. This is the only way to see real yield, and it takes minutes per batch.
Capture yesterday's figures once, early each morning
Pick one point where yesterday's production, sales and damages already exist (a sheet, a photo, accounts), and send it each morning. The morning report then arrives without extra work for the team.
Look at what is loaded for rolls, sponge and cinnamon rolls
Returns on these lines are high relative to what is made. Loading closer to what each route sells could cut most of that loss.
A short independent stock count each week
A weekly count of finished goods by someone other than the person who keeps the book, written down before looking at the book figure, makes the stock check meaningful.
