Sweet Goods

September 23, 2010: Sweet Goods


Part 2 of this several part series is the most critical portion of the day: loading the tables with our sweet goods.  This process takes a while, but it does not take long to describe.  Beginning at 8 A.M. we bring five u-boats (those funny, metal rolling tables you see all around the stores with products on them) from our very large, walk-in freezer and begin to pick and choose which products need to be filled for the day.  Overall we have about 300 different products that we put out each day.  None of these products need to be touched by bake shop workers.  We just label them and put them out. 

This helps us to not only fill our tables, but prepare the u-boats and freezer walls for the product load that will arrive later on in the evening. 

This will not be a particularly long post.  Overall this is just a process of repetition.  Label the products, set up new table displays so that the items are promoted properly for all holidays, and make sure all old dates are pulled from the shelves.  Overall this process takes about five hours and we finish up at about 1 o'clock P.M.  Only ten more hours to go!

Stay Sweet,
