Baker Bros

Getting fresh baked goods to customers before they've cooled requires working against time and Cape Town's variable weather. Winter rain affects proofing schedules; summer heat demands early morning bakes. The logistics of a takeaway bakery mean deciding what gets baked throughout the day versus what holds quality in a display case, managing inventory so nothing goes stale, and balancing the demand for warm bread against keeping ingredients fresh and costs sustainable. Success looks like knowing when to pull items from the oven, which products travel well, and how temperature and humidity in the shop floor affect the final product customers take home.
