We have a house guest this week.  Well, I guess we have two house guests.  Lesley’s friend Michelle and her dog, Tia.  Michelle is a grad school student at UC Davis, and her dog…her dog is a Yorkie with too much energy and ear splitting yip.  As Michelle lives in Davis, a town whose rental units are run by slum lords, as they are in every college

The problem with clever little picker-upper witticisms is, as you point out, they don't really help you. Hopefully the link will be of some help.

My marketing plan on my bakery has reached a standstill. There's too many unknowns that I'm not sure how to project. I can hope to sell 500 croissants a week but I'm not sure how to get information on what actually sells. Next semester, I'm taking a skills for the bakeshop class that tells you how to run a bakery. Hopefully, all will be revealed.

Wax on....

As it turns out, the link was not too helpful. Or maybe it is. I don't know how to interpret the numbers. Am I to believe that distilled spirits make $7 Billion dollars a year? Not that that's chump change, but I have another source that claims booze is a $95B industry, or does that mean $95B worth of economic contribution, meaning how it affects other industries like entertainment, or maybe it means $7B after payroll and other costs? I'm not certain.

As for you, why don't you find a similar bakery in similar neighborhood to the one where you want to own one, and ask them what sells the most? Is 500 the break-even point? That's about 70/day, which is a lot for just crossiants, but not too much for pastries total, and you could sell coffee too. Now we're talking. I wish you could come out here to see this bakery coffe company. It's like a commune. There is no cash register, the barista just tells you how much money to put in a jar after you grab your own scone and coffee.
