Leveraging Dawn Foods Experts as an Extension of The Bakery Team

Carlin added, “Another area where bakeries can improve is by understanding the true cost of the products they make. We regularly walk customers through the total investment of a menu item, from ingredient costs, to labor costs for production and finishing, to the cost of the commodity items it might take to produce the product, like oil – which happens to be at a very high price point right now.” Carlin said that based on the analysis, Dawn will make recommendations on how to reduce those costs, from swapping out comparable ingredients to looking at frozen options or reconfiguring the entire assortment. “Many customers experience immediate success with subbing in a mix for scratch ingredients or event a scratch-mix blend. At the end of the day, we want our customers to create the highest quality products at the lowest cost for their business, and working with them to assess bowl costs proves to be eye opening and extremely helpful.”

In addition to training, Dawn will also work with bakery teams to make sure product performance is optimized.

IIn addition to customized support from the Dawn team, there is also a wide variety of digital resources available for bakers. From technical specifications and product nutritional information, to recipes, consumer insights and trends, and more, Dawn has developed a robust library of helpful content created to help bakeries get the most out of their ingredients, their products, and their teams.

Operating short staffed can be a challenge. But with the Dawn team ready to step in where needed, bakeries can operate with a full arsenal of expertise and product know-how. To learn more, bakers should contact their Dawn representative.
