We are living in unprecedented times. Millions of people are staying home, schools and shops have closed and no one knows for how long. It is a confusing and worrying period, particularly for business owners. Where some businesses have closed, others simply can’t afford to and have had to find ways to adapt their business model in order to comply with the new laws and rules. In this month’s blog, we’re taking a look at some bakeries who have chosen to remain open and how they are managing during the COVID19 pandemic. In London, GAILS Bakery has started offering local delivery of their baked goods but are also trying to support their suppliers who are struggling now their client base has reduced. As part of their home delivery, GAILs customers can also order daily essentials such as milk, eggs, flour cheese, veg boxes, salmon and of course, bread. https://gailsbread.co.uk/
Paul Rhodes Bakery is one on many businesses recognising the amazing work being done by NHS workers so they are offering these heroes 50% discount on their deliver boxes. Paul Rhodes has also made their house-milled wholemeal or plain flour available in 1.5kg bags, provided with a free starter so that you can start baking quicker. Paulrhodesbakery.co.uk
Down in the West Country, Little Bakehouse in Launceston, Cornwall is normally a kitchen & cafe. However since the lockdown was introduced, they are also offering home delivery. With a minimum order of 6 bread items, the customers can also now order frozen ‘bake at home’ sourdough croissants! https://www.littlebakehouse.co.uk/
This is obviously a global pandemic and the problems businesses face are mirrored across the world. Brissa and Co in California is a Mexican influenced bakery, market and eatery. The shop is now closed but they have introduced ‘Dozen to your Door’. The customer can choose 12 items from their dessert menu, Brissa and Co pop them in a box and then they are delivered locally free of charge. https://www.brissaandcobakery.com/
Kingston Bread & Bar mit Sitz in New York hat einen Vorbestellungsservice eingeführt, den sich die Kunden vor Ort entweder abholen oder liefern lassen können. Als perfekte Ergänzung zu den Backwaren sind auch kalt gebrühter Kaffee und Bier erhältlich. www.kingstonbread.com
Lost Larson hat ein wunderbares "Nachbarschaftsbrot"-Programm ins Leben gerufen, das es den Kunden ermöglicht, ein "Nachbarschaftsbrot" zu ihrer eigenen Bestellung hinzuzufügen. Sobald 40 Brotbestellungen eingegangen sind, wird das Team die Brote mischen, gären, formen, backen und verpacken, um sie vom Greater Chicago Food Depository an bedürftige Gemeindemitglieder zu verteilen. www.lostlarson.com
Back to the UK now as we head up to Leeds and a new business called doh’hut. Normally specialising in donuts, they’ve had to completely change to adapt to the new normal. They are now offering a deli menu, delivered using deliveroo. Additionally they are also offering essentials such as fruit, veg and milk and asking their customers what items they could add to their current offerings. They are now also trialling late night opening so that evening snackers can get their donut fix delivered straight to their door! The owners of doh’hut are a really good example of being dynamic and flexible when things get really tough. https://www.facebook.com/pg/dohhut
