A small bakery-confectionery can generate profit from 80,000 to 300,000 rubles per month. This type of business is attractive due to stable demand and relatively low competition.
Bakery products belong to the segment of essential goods that are in constant demand. In the modern economy, a whole niche has opened up for private bakeries that offer delicious, freshly baked products.
Against the backdrop of a meager range of products from bakeries, products from small bakeries win with their unique taste and variety.
In this article, we will take a closer look at the most important aspects that need to be taken into account when drawing up a business plan, and we will learn how to open a mini bakery-confectionery.
First of all, personal participation of the owner in this project is highly recommended. It is very good if you already have practical skills in this area. If not, then you definitely need to take the appropriate courses. They can last from a couple of weeks to several months.
It all depends on the specific school, as well as the future specifics of your project. You should initially understand that for at least the first year you will have to spend a lot of time at the stove. But this will give you invaluable experience, as well as an understanding of the success of the range and prices, the quality of products and the correct organization of business processes.
It is recommended that before opening your own bakery-confectionery, think about its specialization. For example, you can bake only all kinds of snacks with different fillings or focus exclusively on sweet products. The choice of literally every key component of the project depends on the future product range: from the list of raw materials and equipment to the size of the premises and the amount of start-up costs. Therefore, many experienced confectioners advise first of all to decide what your bakery will produce.
Registration
As you already know, before you engage in any kind of entrepreneurial activity, you need to officially register as an entrepreneur or establish your own company. We recently raised the topic of registration and considered.
Most Russian bakers make their choice in favor of an individual entrepreneur. This is due to the simplicity of the registration procedure, maintaining accounting, as well as the opportunity to switch to a simplified taxation system.
In addition to legalizing your activities, in the future you will need to obtain a whole series of permits for premises, equipment, personnel, etc. Also be prepared for product quality checks by the sanitary and epidemiological service. This is caused by strict state control in the field of service provision catering. We will talk more specifically about these points below.
Room
You should approach the choice of the place where you will bake your products with special care. If you decide to work as a franchise, then a consultant from the franchisor company will help you in this matter. In case your bakery bakes products under own brand, you will have to search yourself. As mentioned above, the size and features of a suitable room depend on the volumes and range of products you have planned. In any case, it should have hot and cold water, it should not be a basement, and it should also be equipped with a toilet and storage.
Let's consider the most classic option - a small bakery with display cases, a small room with several tables. Recommended area from 60 to 140 square meters. The room must already be equipped with a ventilation system, and its layout must initially allow it to accommodate production site in the far part of the site. The advantage will be the presence of a back entrance through which it will be possible to transport raw materials and related products. A huge advantage will be the necessary intended purpose premises, namely “for organizations and public catering establishments.” This will allow you to save a lot of time and money on obtaining permits from the SES and firefighters.
Since, most likely, you are opening your bakery from scratch, the best option would be to rent a premises rather than buy it. The cost of renting one square varies from 20 to 100 USD. depending on the city and the area in this locality. If you decide to bake and sell in the same room, then it is important to locate the confectionery in a more or less busy place. But you can do it another way. Bake somewhere on the outskirts of the city, and sell the products in small shops in busy places.
Equipment
This expense item will be the largest in the business plan of any mini-bakery. The main part of the equipment consists of equipment for preparing and baking confectionery products. Today there is no need to buy different components independently and separately. You can easily buy a ready-to-use mini-bakery, the capabilities of which are quite wide and versatile. The price of such mini-complexes starts from 600,000 rubles. European manufacturers have proven themselves best large equipment for business. Experienced bakers advise not to skimp on equipment, because the performance of the entire project depends on its reliability.
You can also buy used equipment if you already understand the intricacies of such devices. Otherwise, you should definitely use the services of a consultant.
On the Internet you will find advertisements for the sale of such equipment by other bakeries, restaurants or, for example, hotels. In this case, you can save on costs, but be very careful in inspecting and testing such equipment.
The confectionery business plan must include expenses for trade equipment. This includes display cases, cabinets and shelves for finished products, signs, refrigerators, etc. After you install all the equipment in your bakery, you will need to obtain from Rospotrebnadzor conclusion of the SES, giving the right to manufacture products.
Staff
First of all we will talk about technical staff, that is, about those people who will be directly involved in baking products. So, it is necessary for the bakery staff to include:
- Technologist is a person responsible for developing and improving recipes, as well as monitoring their compliance. As a rule, this is a person with special education and practical experience work in the catering industry.
- Bakers are employees who will bake products. Depending on the size of the production, there can be from one to several people. Special Education They are not required, but experience is highly desirable.
- A confectioner is a specialist in the field of working with cakes, chocolate desserts, candies, etc. This employee is needed if you are engaged in the production of confectionery products.
In addition to the above workers, you will need cashiers who will sell products and pay customers. You also cannot do without the services of a cleaning lady, because for this type of establishment cleanliness is a very important factor. Of course, if time and skills allow you, you can take any of the positions that we have indicated. After all, this is your bakery after all!
Assortment and suppliers
Having decided on the range of products that you can bake, you need to develop a menu. To find out the most popular, “running” items, just visit several confectionery shops. As a rule, the list of products necessarily includes popular types of bread, for example, baguette and ciabatta. Among the cakes, croissants, cheesecakes and pies with various fillings are often taken. Technologists and bakers should advise you on the culinary part and the peculiarities of preparing a particular product. They will advise on the complexity of cooking, the necessary raw materials, and also advise how this or that item can be supplemented to make it more attractive to customers. It is highly recommended to listen to the recommendations of these people, because this will help create the optimal menu.
The quality and cost of raw materials determine the quality and price of your finished products. Ideally, you should strive to purchase the best products at the best price. First of all, you need to carefully consider the choice of suppliers of the most important ingredients - flour, sugar, milk, eggs and water. It is advisable to use inexpensive bottled one, rather than from the tap. Take care in advance about where to store all these products, especially perishable ones.
Let's start
A few weeks before the opening of the bakery, you can already start advertising it. On the façade of the premises, place a large, bright sign with the name of the establishment and the words “Opening Soon.” You can put a sign on the display window with countdown days before opening, and also indicate a preliminary menu. If your mini-bakery is located in big city, then be sure to use the services for its promotion in social networks. It has already been proven that this is very effective method advertising any small project.
In the first days of starting a bakery-confectionery, everything should be perfect. It is extremely important that clients feel better impression about your brand, and then they will certainly become regular visitors. To increase the effect, distribute free samples of your products, arrange discounts at the end of the day, and also offer new products. If you want your pastry shop to be a cozy place, then take care of a small children's corner.
After the first weeks, you will most likely become aware of some shortcomings in the organization of production, the integrity of suppliers, the range of products or the behavior of staff. This is why the personal involvement of the founder is very important, because this will allow you to quickly respond and take appropriate action. Don't be afraid to experiment, but also try to track the effectiveness and satisfaction of your customers.
Franchise
In the snack and bakery industry, the presence of franchising companies is not new. They have been successfully developing their networks for ten years and are gaining popularity every year. This option for building a business may be attractive for you in any locality in our country. The key advantage of a franchise is the practical readiness of the model for constructing a similar project, subject to certain conditions.
You have a whole range of “trump cards” at your disposal - a well-promoted trademark, ready-made list of equipment and product range, clear understanding in the field of pricing, promotion, etc. Moreover, they will be happy to help you when choosing a premises and equipment supplier, in selecting and training personnel, and will also tell you how to register retail space, advertise products and attract new customers.
The principle of franchising is quite simple. It can be described by the following theses:
- Choose the most suitable franchise and enter into an agreement with the franchisor.
- You pay the appropriate fees in accordance with the terms of the franchise.
- After payment you receive complete package documents from detailed description all business processes and recommendations.
- The franchisor will supply you ready-made semi-finished products. They are baked goods that have been blast frozen. This allows you to preserve all the quality of the product, store it for 3 months, and also quickly prepare it in the oven of your bakery.
- The final prices are determined by the franchisor.
Opening a bakery-confectionery franchise is a good start for aspiring entrepreneurs. This option will help you avoid many mistakes and significantly increase your chances of building a successful business.
Investments and profits
With properly organized work, a mini bakery-confectionery can reach self-sufficiency within 5-6 months. You can count on a stable profit of 80-300 thousand rubles 8-12 months after the start.
To open a small bakery-confectionery you will need an investment of from 1.5-2 million rubles. When starting a franchise, the start-up costs will be less - from 1 million rubles.
A mini-bakery is a small enterprise specializing in the production and subsequent sale of baked goods. Quite often, bakeries are private enterprises, both independent and integral part business, for example, a hypermarket. In some cities there are even entire chains of bakeries that sell own product even from mobile points. True, as practice shows, startups and newcomers to entrepreneurship themselves are seduced by financial gain, forgetting that this “game” is one of the toughest.
Why is this business plan needed?
It’s corny, but the saying: “Measure twice, cut once” is just perfect here. This principle also applies to bakeries.
What do you think, if the thought of opening a bakery is in your head, what will be more important to you: a round sum of money, the cheapest rent for premises or a professional team always ready to complete tasks? I would like to disappoint you - the answer will be: “all at once.” In our case we have to talk about a fairly common modern business concept - business plan.
A perfectly written business plan is not only the key to investing, but also a guarantee successful development throughout your entire enterprise.
In general, a business plan should be understood as a document that takes into account all aspects of advantages and problems, and possible ways to solve them. Moreover, in addition to the verbal picture, it implies sufficient volume numerical indicators, characterizing the costs and benefits of a particular process, procedure, investment.
A business plan is a kind of look into the future today. That is why drawing up a plan is a categorically important process that lays the foundation for a “bright future.” In addition, writing it is the first step, the first step when starting any project designed for success.
Market analysis, competitiveness assessment
It is worth noting that a business plan involves taking into account most of the features associated with business in current moment and in the future. If we consider that a bakery is a very interesting and exciting project, then we must take into account that a business plan for the production of bread and bakery products cannot do without competition.
Naturally, competition forces business participants to grow and develop, leads to the creation of new interesting products, and reduces the cost of the product. Consequently, this benefits both the manufacturer and the consumer.
Active growth in the number of mini-bakeries in at the moment not yet. Yes, from time to time the next family impromptu appears somewhere, but in to a greater extent they are calculated for luck or built on the personal interest of the owners. Metaphorically speaking, pseudo-French bakeries are growing by leaps and bounds. Most of them are not able to last for open market and several months.
Despite this, the market for quality and successful bakery cafes is still trending upward. If we take into account statistics, France has one bakery per 5,000 inhabitants. Of course, there is no need to talk about such demand in the domestic market at the moment.

Relevance of a mini-bakery business plan
The main message in the bakery products market can be called healthy eating, naturalness and freshness. Today, the most in demand are bakeries operating in supermarkets, where sales are quite high due to good traffic. According to information from the Information and Analytical Center "Informconfectioner", since 2010, the popularity of private mini-bakeries has been growing due to a wide range and exclusive products.
Even if we take into account the intense competition in the industry as a whole, the niche of bakery and butter products is still poorly filled. This is due to the fact that large enterprises focused more on the production of bread rather than bakery products. At the same time, they cannot cope with competition in supermarkets where baked goods are sold own production. Along with this, the latter cannot imagine wide range products, since this is of secondary interest to buyers. At the same time, the full production large factories not sold in supermarkets.
As a result, private mini-bakeries benefit significantly, since they sell a sufficient amount of bakery products and are able to satisfy the needs of even the most sophisticated customers. Having understood the value of the consumer and established a sales system, an entrepreneur with the help of a private mini-bakery can receive consistently high profits with minimal risks.
Conclusion
Using non-traditional (even borrowed) recipes for baked goods, you can successfully conquer a certain market segment. The niche for such products is now quite free, so any mini-bakery has all the prerequisites for development.
What could be more pleasant in the morning than the aroma of freshly baked bread? What’s tastier than a gorgeous cake with a huge fluffy top of whipped cream? Yes, it's just a dream! But you can realize your dream and make money from it. To do this, you should open a mini-bakery and build a successful business.
Fresh baked goods
Business plan
If you decide to take up such a noble cause as baking bread, then you should think about the upcoming costs. Let's draw up a business plan for a mini-bakery with calculations. Here are the costs ahead:
- purchase of equipment from 550 thousand rubles;
- bringing the premises in accordance with the requirements for food production from 75 thousand rubles;
- rent from 50 thousand rubles. per month;
- utilities from 80 thousand rubles. per month;
- salaries for employees from 280 thousand rubles. per month;
- advertising of products from 35 thousand rubles. per month;
- purchase of raw materials from 100 thousand rubles. per month.
Let me make a reservation right away that it is better to buy the premises rather than rent them. Otherwise, relocations are possible, which will not have the best effect on your business. The amount of initial investment in your future business will be 625 thousand rubles - this is subject to renting premises. The amount of monthly expenses will be at least 545 thousand rubles.
Mini-bakery as a business, from personal experience for those who have been and are doing this, it pays off noticeably in a year. The profitability of such a business is at least 30%, which is a good indicator.
The greatest profit can be made by producing confectionery or luxury products, for which you can make a large markup. Then the profitability can be 50%, and the payback period will be about 6 months.
Documents
Since a bakery is food production, it is necessary to obtain a “Sanitary and Epidemiological Certificate for Production”. In addition, finished products also require permission from the SES - “Sanitary and Epidemiological Conclusion for Products.” Without these two documents, neither production nor sale of products will be legal.
In addition, you will need:
- documents defining ownership;
- permission from the fire inspectorate;
- certificate of conformity;
- hygiene certificate.
Because this is production food products essentials - it is very important to formalize everything permits. Otherwise, when conducting inspections, you may face a significant fine and closure of the proceedings.
Room
Small bakery space
As mentioned above, it is still preferable to buy premises rather than rent. From the experience of those who run such a business, it becomes clear that any premises for food production must be brought in accordance with sanitary standards. This is quite expensive, and if you rent a room, then when you move to a new one, you will have to do it again. If your funds do not allow you to buy a premises, then the only acceptable solution may be long-term rent for at least 2-3 years.
Bakery, confectionery are always in demand, these products are regularly purchased by all segments of the population. If you draw up a competent business plan and organize your business correctly, a bakery, even in a mini-format, can become a highly profitable business.
Mini bakery at home
A bakery from scratch can be opened in several formats:
- shop full cycle;
- specially equipped part of the kitchen.
The choice should depend on the expected production technology, scale and desired range. A mini-bakery at home can operate in a full cycle (includes all stages of bread production) or incomplete cycle (when products are baked from frozen semi-finished products). If the first option is chosen, you will need at least 80-90 m² of space. Bakeries of this format, as a rule, produce branded confectionery products and create a wide range of bakery products with a productivity of 120-150 kg/hour. Owners gain control production process, independently form an assortment.
If you open a bakery operating in a partial cycle format, you can easily create a wide range of products; they are characterized by waste-free, clean production. Even 35-40 m² will be enough for work. The capacity of such a small enterprise is enough to produce 0.2-5.0 tons of bread per day. Another advantage of this organization of work is that there is no need to purchase raw materials for preparing the dough. Using the equipment is simple and convenient; no additional complex technical devices are required. The influence of the human factor is also significantly reduced; the quantity of finished products is much easier to control.
Advice: There is no pronounced difference in taste between baked goods from semi-finished products and fresh dough, because the products are prepared, as a rule, from natural ingredients, without flavor enhancers.
Mini-bakeries opened at home from scratch have many advantages:
- do not require huge capital investments;
- they can be opened even in the home kitchen;
- allow you to work without dependence on intermediaries, which allows you to create favorable prices for clients and achieve high profitability business;
- enter into direct contracts with suppliers of certain raw materials;
- owner receives more possibilities attract potential buyers(promotions, organize demonstrations of the baking process for advertising purposes);
- You can freely vary the assortment depending on the buyer’s interests and resources.
The owners, citing experience, emphasize that to ensure high profitability of the business, it is important to choose the right location in advance point of sale(people traffic should be high). Even if not starting capital, you can organize, for example, dropshipping, writing custom texts, making gifts, decorative soaps, custom confectionery (cakes, cupcakes).
How to open a mini-bakery from scratch?
Before opening mini-bakeries from scratch at home, it is important to resolve the issue of marketing finished products and the prospects of countering competitors (and there will always be at least 2 of them - mass producers, for example, bakeries and retailers). It is also important to choose the right LLC. The best option The tax system of choice is UTII, the alternative is the simplified tax system of 6% or 15%.
You will also need a quality certificate and permission to production activities, conclusion on the compliance of the premises and equipment with the requirements fire safety, permission from environmental inspection.

The inspection plan can be found on the website of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation or on the website of the Rospotrebnadzor Office.
An important issue is the formation of an assortment. It should be varied and interest buyers. To maintain their interest, you need to focus not only on quality and price, but also on the formation of new taste qualities, fillings, and baking forms. The mass product of ordinary stores will never be able to compete on equal terms with the high-quality branded products of mini-bakeries.
Advice: According to bakers, it is possible to create new flavors by using natural baking mixtures. For example, a culinary additive made from rye flour and heat-treated malt gives baked goods a dark color, a special taste and aroma. The mixtures also extend shelf life, improve product quality and allow optimization of production technology (dry sourdough helps bread rise in 1 hour rather than 3). In addition, their consumption is very small.
How to open a personal mini-bakery? The algorithm of actions looks like this: registration of a mini-bakery, search and preparation of premises, selection and purchase of equipment, search for personnel, registration of permits, purchase of raw materials, start of work. This will also require permits and careful preparation of all stages. One of the most important aspects– choosing a place with good traffic, a convenient position of the room.
What advantages should mini-bakery owners have in the competition:
- Quality and freshness of products.
- Assortment.
- Better price.

- Designer decoration of the point of sale (this can be done with your own hands without large financial costs).
To open profitable business, worth paying special attention for some common mistakes:
- lack of a clear business development strategy, inconsistency in actions;
- insufficient funding;
- the sales market is not prepared at the initial stage;
- lack of competitive offers for the buyer.
What equipment do you need for a bakery?
Opening a successful full-cycle bakery is possible only if you have high-quality equipment: pastry tables, trolleys, flour sifter, dough mixing machine, dough divider, molding machine for croissants and baguettes, proofer and oven (hearth, rotary), trays, stainless steel baking sheets steel, culinary tools (knives, brushes, scrapers, special utensils). You will also additionally need various units, for example, a lift with a bowl tipper, a seaming machine.
For part-time bakeries, less equipment will suffice. The main thing is to have a proofer for defrosting semi-finished products, an oven, and a refrigerator for storing preparations.

The baking business is considered one of the most highly profitable. Experts say that with any forecast of market development, its profitability cannot fall below 25%. The largest segment of this market is occupied by mass products (bread, bagels, crackers, confectionery), in second place are non-traditional offerings (lavash), followed by dietary baked goods and 5% of the market belongs to elite products. It is in the latter segment that a mini-bakery can best express itself by offering the buyer a unique product and reasonably create a high markup. On average, investments can be repaid within a period of several months to 1.5-2 years, depending on the scale of production and its resources. Home bakeries, in which a minimum of capital is invested, will pay off a little longer.
Bakery as a business - reviews
Denis:
The bakery has been operating for seven years now. And, despite the difficulties, I am satisfied. During the work we had to move production 3 times and change the location of the outlet. The majority of positions in the assortment are occupied by baked pies made from butter dough with various fillings, and puff pastry products. I easily sell about 2,500 units through several dozen stores.
Igor:
A few years ago I managed to open a mini-bakery at home, but it didn’t work out. I was disappointed and was already counting my losses. But on the advice of a friend, he closed for a while, together with specialists he drew up a business plan, corrected the mistakes and restarted production. I’ve been working for myself for a year now and I’m considering opening a mini-bakery. profitable business(if you approach it wisely and form a sales market in advance).
Natalia:
Our own mini-bakery at home has been operating for the second year, but remains actual problem sales It seems like she was thinking through and calculating everything, but this moment is still not completely resolved. Probably, we should have given it more attention at the start and worked according to the business plan, and not blindly. But I’m still happy with my earnings; there are many regular customers who even come to my home.
