While it would be great to have a baking team and patisserie on staff, this simply isn't a financially viable option for many businesses. Because of this, more hotels and restaurants are turning to outside sources for their baking needs.However, how do you select a contract baking company? Are there certain elements you should look for?
1) Quality of product.
There's an old saying that "the proof is in the pudding." This is particularly true of a baking company. While there are plenty of baking companies that can assure you they'll be on time and deliver a cheap product, your customers may be less than impressed with the result. Look for a contract baking company that focuses on natural ingredients and takes pride in their recipes. After all, what you serve to your guests is a reflection on you.
2) Impeccable references.
Though people ask for references for new employees and even their babysitters, it's surprising how few might ask for them from potential business partners. Ask to see any letters of recommendation, or better yet, to speak to one of their current customers. High praise from a current customer is the best reference you can get for a business, and can reassure you that you're making the right choice.
3) Excellent rates.
While the happiness of your guests and customers is essential, maintaining a good bottom line is also extremely important. Look for flexibility with pricing depending on the order amount, as well as the ability to customize orders regularly. Good credit terms are also important for any business relationship, so look for flexibility in payment terms.
4) Reliability.
Sure, you and your customers may love their carrot cake. However, if it's delivered late every week you'll end up disappointing everyone involved. While your checking references, ask about delivery reliability. If you expect your employees to show up on time, why should you not expect it from your contracted partners?
Finding a reputable and reliable baking partner for your wholesale baked goods and desserts can really set your business apart from the others in your area. Look for quality product that you can rely on. Your customers will come to know you for having the best, and your partner will always provide it.
