You assess sales reports so you can see which of your baked goods or pastry are selling well and which are not. Based on your assessments, in consultation with the bakers and owners, you make decisions about what inventory you should to stock. Your duties also include managing the front-of-house staff.

Bakery Managers often need to carefully forecast customer demand to ensure that fresh products are always available without overproducing and causing waste. This requires strong organizational skills and close attention to sales trends, seasonal fluctuations, and special events. Additionally, managers must coordinate staffing and inventory orders to keep production running smoothly, all while maintaining high quality and safety standards. Open communication with team members and adaptability are key to successfully meeting these challenges.
