Someone described their business in a sentence. This is what came back — specific moves, priced per month, with the sums written out.
What we took you to be
baked goods — for local customers in Hoboken and Jersey City.
Your numbers as we read them: assuming 200 customers per week at an average spend of $10, that's $2,000 per week or ~$8,667 per month, with a 30% margin or ~$2,600 profit, assuming 10 hours of labor per day at $15 per hour, labor costs are ~$4,500 per month
Wrong about something? Add the correction to your description and run it again — the estimates move with it.
01What you sellWorth the week · a day
Introduce a $5 coffee and pastry bundle
≈ $667–1,333/mo100-200 bundles sold per week × $5 per bundle
Why now: with increasing competition from cafes, offering a bundle can increase average spend per customer
create a bundle of a coffee and pastry for $5, targeting morning commuters, and promote it through in-store signage and social media
Do this first
track coffee and pastry sales for one week to determine current demand
02PricingTest it small · a week
Charge $20 for custom cake orders
≈ $400–800/mo20-40 custom cake orders per month × $20 per order
Why now: with the rise of social media, custom cake orders are in high demand, and charging for them can increase revenue
introduce a custom cake ordering service, with a minimum order price of $20, and promote it through social media and in-store signage
Do this first
research competitors' custom cake pricing and services
03Cutting costDo it · a week
Reduce labor costs by 10% with optimized scheduling
≈ $450/mo10% reduction in labor costs, assuming $4,500 per month in labor costs
Why now: with increasing labor costs, optimizing scheduling can help reduce waste and increase efficiency
use scheduling software to optimize labor scheduling, reducing labor costs by 10%, and promote the use of online ordering and payment to reduce in-store labor
Do this first
review current scheduling practices and identify areas for improvement

All ten moves, each priced per month with the arithmetic shown
A 90-day sequence — which to do first, and why that order
The price-increase letter, ready to send
Four objections and how to answer without dropping the price
