How to make money baking at home. How to sell homemade cakes and make money on it? Video: complete biscuit production process

In this material:

Making cookies is a good idea to start your own business. Biscuits are traditionally one of the most popular products on the Russian confectionery market. In terms of volume of consumption, it is significantly ahead of such commodity groups as gingerbread, cakes, pastries. This fact allows us to guarantee such a business a stable demand and profit.

Before deciding to invest in a particular business, it is necessary to conduct a marketing analysis of the market and draw up a business plan.

Russian biscuit market

On average, each Russian consumes about 4.5 kg of cookies. This means that every year the inhabitants of our country eat 645-750 tons of cookies. Moreover, most of the demand falls on residents of large cities. According to the results of the research, it was possible to identify a pattern: the smaller the city, the less they consume cookies.

The annual growth of the market is quite restrained and is about 5-7%, but there are opportunities for new manufacturers to enter.

The competition in the market is average. Local producers play a decisive role in the market. This is due to the fact that cookies have a limited shelf life, which makes it impractical to transport them over long distances. Plus, due to logistics costs, the cost of cookies in other regions may become uncompetitive with local producers.

The industry's problem is the use of obsolete Soviet-era equipment. The organization of production on modern equipment will save on costs and take a significant share in the market.

There are many varieties of cookies. Market research will help determine the optimal assortment. After all, the characteristics of demand may differ depending on the region. A balanced assortment that meets the requirements of customers is one of the components of success.

According to a study by the Workline Group, sugar and oatmeal cookies account for the largest volume of demand. They account for about 18.3 and 18.6% in the sales structure. The leaders in terms of consumption include crackers, dry biscuits (such as "Maria"), kurabye (with jam). According to research, Russian consumers are very conservative, and the structure of demand has remained virtually unchanged since Soviet times.

But this does not mean that it is worth just starting to produce the most sought-after type of cookie and this automatically guarantees success. This statement is erroneous, since you will have to compete with recognized industry leaders (a novice entrepreneur may simply not have enough funds for this). Even the Russian giants of the confectionery business recognize that innovations in this area are indispensable and regularly update their assortment.

A novice manufacturer needs to find its unique unfilled niche in the market, which would allow it to compare favorably with competitors. For example, you can focus your business on the production of healthy cookies (for example, fortified with vitamins), fitness cookies (with a reduced calorie content), or environmentally friendly cookies (without dyes with natural ingredients).

Organization of biscuit production

Equipment for the production of biscuits requires special attention. In this business plan, the production line from Cityline is taken as the basis for calculations. It allows in fully automatic mode (from dough kneading to baking and cooling) to produce up to 450 kg of products.

The cost of this line, which provides the production of biscuits, will be 13.5 million rubles. About 10% more (1.35 million rubles) will need to be spent on its delivery to the place. The installation of the line will cost 1 million rubles. We must not forget about the need to replenish working capital (for the purchase of raw materials, etc.) in the amount of 3.5 million rubles. The amount of capital expenditures will amount to 19.5 million rubles. .

The production of biscuits will require a space of 200 m². When choosing it, you should pay attention to the presence of a sewerage and water supply system, electricity 380 V, ceilings from 3.5 m, as well as a convenient entrance for vehicles. The average cost of renting 1 m² of industrial use with similar characteristics will be 200 thousand rubles. per month.

For the operation of the production workshop, a total of 14 people will be required. Among them are the director, technologist, head of the sales department, head of production, storekeeper, 5 workers, 4 loaders. At the same time, accounting and logistics departments should be outsourced. The monthly salary fund will amount to 263 thousand rubles.

The production of biscuits on this line for the month will be 79.2 tons (3.6 tons per day). This is the minimum value quoted assuming 22 shifts with legal breaks for lunch and maintenance. If the work is organized in several shifts, the volume of production can be increased.

With a wholesale price of a ton of cookies of 42 thousand rubles. the monthly revenue of the enterprise will be 3.326 million rubles. (42000*79.2)

Now we need to estimate the cost of production. The main components of the cost of cookies will be flour, sugar, milk, margarine, as well as electricity. 72.83 thousand rubles will be spent on replacement raw materials, another 9.5 thousand rubles will be spent on electricity. For the production of 79.2 tons of cookies, 1953 thousand rubles will be required.

In addition to rent (200 thousand rubles) and salary (263 thousand rubles), the following monthly expenses will arise:

advertising expenses (50 thousand rubles);
transport (100 thousand rubles);
accounting services (25 thousand rubles);
utility bills (10 thousand rubles);
other expenses (50 thousand rubles).

The amount of monthly expenses will be 698 thousand rubles.

Biscuit production plan indicators

Based on the foregoing, here are the basic indicators of the business plan for the biscuit production workshop:

initial costs - 19,500 thousand rubles;
revenue - 3 326.4 thousand rubles;
prime cost - 1,952.9 thousand rubles;
gross profit - 1373.5 thousand rubles;
monthly total expenses - 698 thousand rubles;
profit before tax - 675.45 thousand rubles;
tax (USN-15%) - 101.38 thousand rubles;

Net profit will amount to 574.13 thousand rubles, and the return on sales will be 17.26%.

Taking into account capital investments of 19.5 million rubles. the production of cookies will pay off in 34 months, which is a fairly good result.

This calculation is based on the assumption that investments in production will be made with own funds. When using bank loans, the payback period will increase due to the need to ensure payments on bank interest.

Setting up a biscuit business

It is better to arrange production in the form of an LLC. This will facilitate the attraction of borrowed funds and will allow in the future to count on help from investors. Banks and investors treat individual entrepreneurs with distrust.

The choice of the form of taxation depends on the organization of marketing policy. The given amount of proceeds will allow the company to apply the simplified tax system (according to the current tax legislation, the limit for its application is 79.74 million rubles).

But if an enterprise plans to supply products to large wholesalers, who then distribute them to shops in the region, then it often works on a general basis and requires VAT invoices from its suppliers. Therefore, the use of simplification in this case will be unjustified and will lead to the loss of business partners.

If the company has its own logistics system and it delivers directly to retail outlets, bypassing intermediaries, then it will be possible to apply simplification. As a rule, small shops work on the simplified tax system or UTII, they do not need invoices and VAT. The use of the simplified tax system will reduce the tax burden, since companies are exempt from VAT and transfer a single tax at a rate of 6 or 15%, which is lower than the 20% income tax on OSNO. In relation to simplified workers, there are preferential rates in the field of payroll taxes (monthly contributions to the Pension Fund and the Social Insurance Fund).

Since the expense part is quite high in the production of cookies, it is better to choose the mode with the “income minus expenses” object. The rate on it is 15%, but in many regions there are benefits for manufacturing companies. Paying 6% of revenue in the production of goods is usually unprofitable.

The availability of an automated line and the outsourcing of non-core services (accounting and logistics) will make the enterprise more cost-effective.

Demand assessment

According to a study conducted by Intesco Research Group in 2010, 847,300 tons of sweet biscuits, waffles, biscuits and gingerbread and similar products were produced in the Russian Federation. There was a noticeable increase in the market compared to 2009, growth rates were at the level of 7.2%. It is expected that in 2011 the market volume will increase by another 2.5%.

According to the study, the demand for biscuits has stimulated new price increases. During 2008-2010 there was a steady increase in producer selling prices for these products. In 2010, the increase in producer prices for biscuits, biscuits and crackers did not exceed 10% on average.

Competition in the market can be described as average. An important role is played by local companies that manufacture products on obsolete Soviet equipment. If you organize production on modern equipment and with competent marketing, you can take a significant share of the market.

1. Business organization

The purpose of writing a business plan: to assess the feasibility of investing in organizing the production of cookies.

1.2. Equipment

After analyzing several proposals from companies involved in the supply of equipment for the production of biscuits, we decided on the proposal of the Russian-Chinese company "Russian-Chinese business center" Cityline ". This company offers a fully automatic line with a capacity of 450 kg. finished products per hour.

On this line, all operations necessary for the manufacture of cookies are performed: from dough kneading to packaging of finished products.

In the biscuit production equipment section, you can find a cheaper option for arranging production.

1.3. Industrial production technology

Basic Operations:

preparation of raw materials for production;
dough kneading;
molding;
bakery;
cooling;
package.

1.4. Premises for the production workshop

To organize the production of cookies on an automatic line, a room with an area of 200 sq.m. (ceiling height 3.5 meters), it is necessary to place a production line, warehouse and amenity premises for personnel in it.

Room requirement:

The premises must comply with the requirements of SanPiN 2.3.4.551-96
Presence of water supply and sewerage
Electricity 380V
Convenient transport access.

1.5. Number of staff

With one-shift operation of the confectionery shop, the number of employees is 14 people.

1.6. Markets

According to a study by Intesco Research Group, the distinguishing features of the market is its attachment to the territory, because biscuits have a limited shelf life, and high transportation costs at a low price do not justify the supply of products over long distances.

The rather serious positions of regional market players can be explained by the fact that in each regional center there was a huge number of confectionery factories and bakeries with large capacities, which continue to work even now. In this connection, even small companies that have only one enterprise can become leaders in the segment of inexpensive biscuits by weight.

The share of foreign manufacturers in the segment of biscuits is quite small (about 15%), which can be explained by the peculiarity of the products.

Sales of products can be carried out through the following channels:

Sales through wholesale companies engaged in the sale of food products
Sales through regional and federal grocery chains.

2. Feasibility study

2.1. Capital expenditure

2.2. Revenue of the confectionery shop

With one-shift operation of the shop, the maximum output (minus the time for a technical break and a lunch break) per month (22 shifts) is 79.2 tons of cookies.

The wholesale price for 1 ton of cookies starts from 42,000 rubles. Based on the price of 42,000 rubles per 1 ton of finished products and the monthly output of 79.2 tons, the monthly revenue of the confectionery shop is 3,326,400 rubles.

2.3. Cost price

The raw materials for the production of biscuits are flour, granulated sugar, margarine, milk, starch, and other ingredients. For the production of 1 ton of finished products, 1,198 kg of raw materials are required.

2.4. General expenses

2.5 Calculation of profitability

2.6. Payback

The payback period of the confectionery shop is 34 months. This calculation is based on one-shift operation of the shop. If the confectionery shop works in 2-3 shifts, then the payback period will be much shorter.

3. Formal business organization

3.1. Organizational form of activity

For a confectionery shop, the most appropriate organizational form is: "Individual entrepreneur".

3.2. Form of taxation

The optimal form of taxation for the activities of the confectionery shop is a simplified taxation system (income minus expenses). Tax return is submitted once a year (in April).

The following taxes are paid on this system of taxation:

income tax (15%),
unified social tax (32%),
income tax (13%).

Small-scale cookie production as a business is gaining popularity among housewives, but the profitability of such a business is insignificant, so home cooking is more of a hobby with a nice material bonus than a business that brings a steady income.

However, it is possible to put baking on stream and get more significant profits.

Features of the confectionery business

The main and undeniable advantages of biscuit production as a business:

product demand,
long shelf life,
seasonal independence,
fast payback.

However, there is a very high level of competition among confectioners, although not only corporations, but also small producers freely operate in this segment.

The main competitive advantage should be the optimal price / quality ratio, an updated assortment, a certain highlight of the product.

Before calculating the necessary investments, you need to decide what niche in the confectionery business you plan to occupy.

You can stay at the level of home production, or you can develop your business to the level of a mini-workshop.

home production

Baking cookies in limited quantities can become not only a hobby with a small income, but with the right approach, bring in significant profits.

To do this, it is necessary, first of all, to show imagination and offer the consumer an original product, from the recipe to the packaging method (for example, making fortune cookies).

In addition, you need to find your own market with a regular consumer.

To develop your business and attract new customers, you can place private ads on Internet resources, create your own blog and use the recommendations of regular customers.

To organize such a small business, there is no need to purchase expensive industrial equipment, it is enough to have ordinary household appliances and a large supply of free time.

Manufacturing facility

With the technological scheme of production, it is necessary to purchase industrial equipment.

Considering that equipping production lines is a rather costly undertaking, it is necessary to choose inventory with a view to the future.

So, with the right calculation, you can purchase equipment with higher performance than required. This will allow in the future to increase production capacity without resorting to costly retooling.

Own confectionery shop with equipment requires a large area, at least 200 square meters.

When choosing a room for purchase or rent, it is necessary to assess the availability of all necessary communications, as well as the possibility of zoning space to allocate change houses and a warehouse.

Profitability

Calculating the profit from home production is quite difficult, since it is necessary to take into account a number of individual factors - from the recipe to the options for "serving" the finished product, the solvency of the end consumer.

The calculation of industrial production is focused on average market prices:

The most expensive part that needs to be included in the spending plan is the purchase of equipment, which will cost an average of about 600,000 rubles.
In addition, there will be staff costs, since even a small workshop will require at least 7 workers. You have to pay about 150,000 rubles per month.
Depending on the production capacity, the cost of purchasing raw materials is calculated.

With a small capacity, up to 15 tons of products per month, sold at a wholesale price (about 50,000 rubles per ton), the revenue will be about 750 thousand rubles. Excluding expenses, net profit will be about 250,000 rubles.

The average percentage of profitability of cookie production as a business ranges from 20 to 25. Within 10-12 months, with positive calculations, the initial costs will pay off by 100%.

Small-scale production (domestic or small-scale industrial) at the expense of small volumes of products allows you to guarantee the buyer a high level of quality, which will become an additional advantage in a competitive environment.

Regardless of the type of cookies (whether it is dietary biscuit or rich “nuts”), with the proper construction of a business, you can find “your” buyer.

It is worth noting that small entrepreneurs who consider the production of cookies as a business should not go to large trading floors in order to sell their goods.

This is primarily due to the fact that retail chains use minimal margins, so you will have to significantly reduce the price of finished products, which will affect the profitability of your own business.

Cookies should be sold through retail stores or open your own point of sale.

A cake business is a profitable idea that requires a minimum initial investment and pays off fairly quickly.

♦ Capital investments – 40,000 rubles
♦ Payback – 4 months

Today in any store - a large selection of confectionery.

But, firstly, the quality of the products used by serial manufacturers leaves much to be desired, and, secondly, many people want to purchase an exclusive cake that would correspond to such an important event as a birthday, anniversary, wedding, etc.

There are women (and sometimes men) who manage to bake real sweet masterpieces, but for some reason do not think that they can be sold.

Cake business- a profitable idea that requires minimal initial investment and quickly pays off.

What is the idea behind the cake business?

Imagine that your husband is a photographer, and he celebrates 20 years of his professional activity. On this occasion, he decided to treat the visitors of his personal exhibition with a cake.

Banal pastries will look uninteresting, but cakes in the form of a camera or other special equipment are an original idea.

You cannot buy such a dessert in the store.

But there are people who bake cakes at home and by placing an order, you can please your husband.

It is believed that the idea to make original cakes came to us from the USA.

It was the spoiled Americans who were the first to decide that standard pastries were not very interesting and began to order unusually shaped confectionery.

And since consumers had a demand, there were those who decided to turn their passion for confectionery into a profitable business.

Pros and cons of the cake business

Interesting fact:
Biscuit - a traditional cake for baking cakes, was originally called "sea biscuits". The first mention of it was found in the logbooks of English sailors. The biscuit won its popularity due to its long shelf life - it did not deteriorate and did not become moldy, even despite the humidity during sea voyages.

Baking at home from an opportunity to have additional income can turn into a main income and become a profitable business.

The main advantages of this startup are:

Minimum capital investment.
In fact, you only need to spend money on kitchen equipment and utilities.
Products for baking cakes will be included in the price of each order.
The ability to work from home, which is suitable for mothers with small children, people with disabilities and other categories who cannot be in the office full time.
A lot of free niches, because this business has not yet become too popular, and confectionery shops and factories are not your competitors, because they produce standard products.
You can not fool around with the registration procedure at first and bake at home illegally.
You need to start dealing with the design of your business only after you have formed a client base.
Cake business is an opportunity to show your creativity.

There are practically no disadvantages to this type of business.

Unless earnings at the initial stage may seem modest to someone.

And you also need to remember that you are feeding people, which means that you should follow sanitary standards and safety precautions.

Advertising and business calendar plan on cakes

Pastry chefs who make custom cakes at home claim that word of mouth is the most effective way to advertise their business.

If the first client likes the pastries, then he will not only contact you again, but will also recommend this to all his friends and acquaintances.

newspaper ads;
social media;
business cards;
specialized sites.

You can also make some free cakes, for example, for the anniversary of some large organization.

If his employees like your pastries, they will become regular customers and help promote the business.

The launch schedule for this startup is not really necessary, since you can purchase all the necessary tools and products for the first order in 1 day, after which you can start to complete it.

Competitive Advantages of a Cake Business

If in your city you are the only one offering homemade cakes to order, then you don’t have to worry about competition, the main thing is to make quality products that would satisfy customers.

If several confectioners work in your locality, then it is worth creating competitive advantages in order to compare favorably with them:

Reasonable pricing policy.
Original baking decoration.
Discounts for regular customers.
Various promotions. For example, cookies as a gift when ordering a cake from 5 kilograms.
Production of thematic products for the holidays, etc.

Business on cakes: a phased launch of a startup

One of the main advantages of a cake business that you do at home is that you do not depend on anyone.

Only you yourself can slow down the launch of a startup, and not external adverse circumstances.

Many people ask: "Where to start?".

And you need to start this type of entrepreneurial activity with baking the first cakes, selling them and getting feedback from customers about your products.

And only when you make sure that your customers are satisfied with your pastries, that they are ready to contact you again, you can start baking cakes to order on a large scale and start buying special equipment.

Registration

If you are just starting to do business on cakes, then you do not need to register as an individual entrepreneur immediately after you have such an idea.

You should switch to the status of an official entrepreneur after you have formed a wide client base and you are thinking about opening your own confectionery or bakery.

Even if you do not want to work illegally, do not rush to register. The sanitation station is unlikely to give you a work-at-home permit and it will kill your business in the bud.

For now, bake to order at home, without thinking about your official status.

room

This business involves working directly in your home kitchen, that is, every month you will not spend money on office rent, which increases the profitability of your business.

If your living conditions do not allow you to make cakes to order in your kitchen, then there are two options:

rent an apartment for cooking;
do something else.

If you have a fairly wide customer base and you bake a cake at least every day, then create the most comfortable conditions in your kitchen.

Arrange the ingredients, tools and baking utensils so that you can work comfortably.

Equipment

Most women have everything to bake cakes: a kitchen surface, an oven, a mixer, molds, and more.

You should not buy professional equipment immediately after you have an idea to make money on cakes.

You need to purchase the tools of professional confectioners after the business is firmly on its feet and starts to bring you good money.

Those who bake cakes to order need to have the following equipment, tools and utensils:

Item of expenses	Amount (in rubles)
Total:	38 000 rub.
A food processor with which you can knead the dough and whip the cream	10 000
Round and square molds of different diameters for creating multi-tiered cakes	6 000
Confectionery syringe with different nozzles	1 000
Kitchen scale and measuring cup	1 500
Bowls of various sizes	2 000
pans	5 000
Rolling pin and some wooden boards	1 500
Tools for working with mastic: a silicone mat, a set of stacks, an iron, etc.	3 000
Knives, including a string knife, to cut the cakes evenly	3 000
Whisks, brushes, spatulas, sieve and other small equipment	2 000
Other	3 000

You can buy bags and bags of sugar, as well as wholesale things that do not spoil: coconut, raisins, candied fruits, dyes, etc.

So you can reduce the cost of the cake.

But it’s not worth buying perishable products for future use, purchase them exactly as much as you need to fulfill a specific order.

Staff

If the idea of making money on cakes is only being tested by you, then you don’t need to hire anyone from the staff. You can quite independently take orders and make pastries, and let customers take them from your home.

When you have a large customer base and a lot of daily orders, then you should consider expanding the business, for example, hiring assistants or opening a full-fledged candy store.

Profitability of business on cakes

If you make delicious pastries and are able to surprise customers with an original cake design, then in a month or two after launching a startup, you will be able to earn good money by making products to order at home.

To prove the high profitability of this business, let's calculate the cost of the honey cake with sour cream and butter cream, decorated with mastic, weighing 2 - 2.5 kg.

Item of expenses	Quantity	Amount (in rubles)
Total:		225 rub.
Eggs	5 pieces.	45
Honey	3 art. spoons	50
Soda	2 teaspoons	4
Sugar	1.5 cups	26
Butter	200 grams	60
Flour	5 glasses	40

Sour cream for impregnation:

Item of expenses	Qty	Amount (in rubles)
Total:		130 rub.
Sour cream	2 glasses	95
Sugar	2 glasses	35

Butter cream for leveling cakes:

Item of expenses	Qty	Amount (in rubles)
Total:		120 rub.
Oil	1 pack	60
Sugar	1 glass	15
Condensed milk	half a can	45

Marshmallow mastic:

Item of expenses	Qty	Amount (in rubles)
Total:		220 rub.
marshmallow marshmallows	1 package	80
Powdered sugar	300 g	120
Oil	50 g	20

That is, in order to make such a cake, you have to spend about 700 rubles + 100 rubles for water, gas / electric = 800 rubles.

But you can sell such a cake for 1,500 - 2,000 rubles, since the cost of one kilogram of a cake decorated with mastic ranges from 600 - to 800 rubles.

As you can see, the net profit from one cake is 700 rubles and more.

If you bake to order at least 5 cakes per week (about 20 cakes per month), then your monthly income will be at least 10,000 rubles.

Features of registering an enterprise
