Hi everyone, and sorry for the wall of text.
We wanted to share something we’ve been thinking about here at Bakesimo, and we’d really love your thoughts.
As many of you know, there are only two of us working behind the scenes, and over the past while we’ve noticed a big shift in the business. Our delivery side, supplying cakes and bakes to coffee shops and retail, has grown a lot, while walk-in sales for coffee and small bakes have dropped.
With rising costs, long hours, and the amount of time it takes to keep the front of the bakery open each day, we’re considering making a change.
We’re thinking about closing the front of the bakery for daily walk-ins and focusing instead on cake pickups, pre-orders, deliveries to coffee shops, retail, traybakes and weekend boxes.
This wouldn’t mean Bakesimo is going anywhere. You’d still be able to order cakes, traybakes, weekend boxes and treats, but we may move away from daily walk-in coffee and small bakes so we can manage things in a way that’s more sustainable for us.
It’s not an easy decision, and before we make any changes, we’d really love to hear from you. Would this still work for you? Would you still order for collection? Are traybakes, weekend boxes and pre-order bakes something you’d like to see more of?
Thank you so much for supporting our small business. Every order, visit, message and kind word means more than you know.
Please let us know your thoughts in the comments or send us a message.
Love,
Bakesimo 🤍
