What to look at on the map

  • 👣Foot-traffic proxy

    Morning commuter foot traffic is the core market.

  • 🏠Residential density (500m)

    Weekend repeat customers come from within 1km.

  • 👀Street visibility

  • ⚔️Direct competitors (1km)

    Other bakeries within 500m split the market.

Investment outlook

Before you commit, here's the real-world cost picture for a bakery:

Production bakery: NZ$100-200k / ¥40-80万 (ovens, proofers, mixers). Pickup-only without seating is much cheaper.

Common rookie mistakes

The mistakes that sink first-time bakery owners aren't the ones you read about in startup blogs. The recurring ones are:

  • ⚠Underestimating labour cost of early-morning prep (3am starts)
  • ⚠Skipping the cost of unsold inventory (bakery waste rates run 10-20%)
