π¨π SEMINOLE SOURDOUGH UPDATE!!! PLEASE READ! ππ¨
It's currently 12:50 AM as I type this, and I've been at my shop since 9 AM Thursday morning doing our FIRST trial prep day!
SUCH. A. LONG. DAY!!!
I've been awake for 21 hours, and I'll be back at the shop in less than 5 hours! I learned SO much today, and I already know there will be plenty of adjustments along the way.
PLEASE give me A LOT of grace as I work through the kinks! πβ€οΈ
π₯ GOOD NEWS! Our fire inspector randomly stopped by today because he happened to be in the plaza! We had to make a Lowe's run for a few safety items, but overall, it was quick, painless, and very little needs to be done! HUGE relief!
π THE BREAD SITUATION!
My goal was to prep 72 loaves for Friday (today), but we actually RAN LOW ON SOURDOUGH STARTER! π I believe we have about 60 loaves prepped! Lesson learned and NOTED! Won't happen again!!
You guys, this shop is SO SMALL for a bakery! π Space is definitely limited, but I am determined to make it work! We will add what we can, as we can, as we grow. I'm learning what works, what doesn't, and how to make the most of every square inch! EVERY SQUARE INCH and if you know the drive thru space, you know how small it is!!!
One day at a time, one loaf at a time! πβ€οΈ
π€ OUR MENU BOARD IS FINALLY UP!
A HUGE thank you to Liberty Home Improvements for getting it installed after my disastrous attempt! π It's a glossy black dry-erase board, and I ordered a TON of white liquid chalk markers. I'll be testing those out tomorrow morning. Wish me luck because apparently hanging signs and making menus are NOT my specialty! I will figure it out, but I just got the board 2 days ago and Amazon took 3 days for the markers. I didn't know what I needed until I did.
π¨ NOW, PLEASE READ THIS PART CAREFULLY! π¨
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY ARE TRIAL RUN DAYS!
We are NOT officially opening with set business hours just yet!
π We WILL have sourdough available for purchase Friday, hopefully sometime late morning/ early afternoon. ********I will post once we are ready. *********
π There will be NO OFF-SITE POP-UP FRIDAY! Everything will be happening at our new drive-thru shop!
π I will post when the bread is baked, fully cooled and ready to be packaged, and we are READY for customers!
π Please do NOT come by expecting us to be open at a specific time. We are still figuring out our production flow!
This weekend is about learning, adjusting, and figuring out how to make this little bakery run smoothly.
I know so many of you have been waiting patiently, and I cannot thank you enough. I'm working SO hard to get this right, but I also know it won't be perfect right out of the gate.
Please hang in there with me while WE (okay, mostly I π) figure this all out!
I have the BEST CUSTOMERS EVER, and I appreciate every single one of you more than you will know!
After months of permits, inspections, equipment deliveries, construction, and waiting... I AM FINALLY MAKING BREAD IN THE SHOP TODAY!!! π₯Ήπβ€οΈ
Now, I'm going to attempt to get a few hours of sleep before we do it all over again!
LET'S GOOOOOO!!! β€οΈ
P.S. This post was planned to be SUPER SHORT, but apparently I haven't mastered that part of running a business.
THANK YOU TO ALL OF MY LONG TERM CUSTOMERS FOR MAKING THIS SMALL VISION COME TO LIFE!!!!
