From "Keep Ordering" to Having a "Round Bake" - Lessons from 1 and a Half Years of Opening a Soundow Shop 🍞

For the past 1 and a half years, Soundow Shop has been our auxiliary profession. Starting with a small shop that receives pre-orders, customers can order bread conveniently through LINE Store or Facebook page.

At first we thought this would be the easiest.

The customer wants to order the day they order. We try to arrange the order.

But as the order grew, we found out...

People who have to manage their time are not just customers, but bakers. 😅

Because Soundow is not a bread that I want to bake today and can do it today.

The dough must be prepared.

Feed the starter.

Mixed Dow

Rest and fold.

Ferment

Molded

Refrigerated

Then can bake

Sometimes one or two more orders change the table.

Finally, we decided to change the system.

From the original "customer wants to order whenever they order."

Become a "clear baking cycle shop."

Now we make the baking table a calendar for customers to see that

📅 What day is open?

🍞 What day is baking?

📦 What day is ready to receive / ship?

The obvious advantage is that it is easier to plan life.

Can know in advance which day to prepare the starter.

What day to do

Which day to bake

And which days can really rest?

For us, shoplifting as an auxiliary profession does not mean

Must be ready to receive orders at all times

But to find a way to put jobs in a system that we can take care of in the long run. ❤️

Customers can plan to order snacks. The store can plan production.

And more importantly... the dessert maker does not have to run after the order until too tired

A year and a half with a small shop makes us realize that sometimes "limiting" does not make us sell less, but makes us happier. 🥖✨
