Why You Should Hire Doughnut Consultants Inc.?
Many of our clients over the years have informed us their idea of opening a doughnut shop came from enjoying the doughnut business from a distance. They did this as a customer, seeing long lines at the register and noticing most doughnut shops stay in business for a very long time. We believe a doughnut shop is one of the best small businesses you can open with a relatively small financial investment required. The typical doughnut shop has primary business traffic taking place between five in the morning to noon or the secondary shift from five p.m.to 10.p.m. It is vitally important for every hour to count in retail sales during these 7 to 12 hours of the shop’s prime retail sales. The doughnut business is a highly competitive business because it commands a universal market. But as the saying goes, “The greater the risk, the more money you tend to make”. This is very true in the doughnut shop industry.
The doughnut business involves a financial investment for the construction of the site, raw materials, choice of doughnut machinery, permitting and the selection of technically qualified manpower – bakers, service help, and advertising. It is a financial risk starting in the doughnut business without hiring a consulting company because of the many challenges that are involved.
Some of the early challenges that are involved:
It is difficult to know all of the decisions you need to make and will be presented to you as a new business owner. You may have some experience as a manager or have been the employee of a food establishment, but you will still need professional assistance on the obstacles and decisions that you have never encountered. Being a good chef or assistant does not make you a good manager or operator. Knowledge is learned and obtained over years of observation and development of skills, but with a consultant the knowledge is provided to you by someone having experienced the obstacles first hand. We hope you understand the importance of the role provided by a service like Doughnut Consultants Inc. Our service is made available to assist you with successful decisions in the placement, installation, training and operations of your doughnut shop.
If in reading this article you find yourself confused about the decision of hiring a consultant, we suggest taking advantage of our free 15 minute consultation by phone. Before you contact us, take time to make a list of the items you wish to sell in your doughnut shop. Then estimate what quantities of each item you would produce each day, this quantity will help determine the type and size of the doughnut shop and equipment operation you will need.
The second list you should create before calling is an estimated budget;
You will need to have a budget in mind for your consideration but also the consultants’ consideration. Keep in mind that the average doughnut franchise budget will ask for a $600,000.00 investment. Be realistic on your amount that you have for your budget when considering your store, and then allow us to show you how we can help you put in a store for less, although less will not mean pennies on the dollar.
(If you need help determining your budget, see the information page of our site and scroll to, determine your budget)
Once the above factors have been decided, make an appointment to speak with a representative of Doughnut Consultants Inc. Share your budget amount and the want list with the consultant. They will usually ask to call you back after a couple of days from your initial consultation to inform you with their suggestions and advice. This process will cost you nothing, and will be the beginning of establishing your need of the consulting services. Their suggestions and advice will be sent to you by email with pricing for support from Doughnut Consultants Inc. The information sent to you, will allow you to make an informed decision concerning the consulting service.
It may be you already have a bakery or doughnut related business and wish to take it to the next level. Again, you can seek the advice of Doughnut Consultants Inc. to get the maximum returns for your investment. We would like to talk with you.

- Ways to market your business that will not drain your account faster than the proceeds of sales allow for repayment?
