What is it like running a thriving bakery?
Balancing bakery ownership with family life might seem challenging, but Heather, the owner of our thriving bakery in North Vancouver, shows how our proven roadmap can make bakery dreams a reality. If you have a well-trained team and efficient systems, it is not a dream for a COBS Bread owner to seamlessly transitions from family breakfasts to managing bakery operations and local deliveries. Heather’s journey shows that the ideal work-life balance is achievable in bakery ownership. With the right support and dedication, our franchisees enjoy fulfilling careers while maintaining harmony in their personal lives. To give you a better picture, here is what a day looks like for Heather!
A Day for Heather
6:00 AM – Pedal and Prep
Heather’s day kicks off with an energizing Peloton bike workout at home, where she multitasks by reviewing emails, bakery financial results, and planning her day. It’s the perfect blend of fitness and productivity!
8:00 AM – Family Time
After her morning routine, Heather shifts gears to family mode, prepping breakfast and packing lunches with the freshest bread. It’s all about starting the day right for everyone.
9:30 AM – Bakery Buzz
Heather heads to the bakery to check in with her team and assist with preparing daily wholesale deliveries to local restaurants. After a quick school drop-off, she’s back at the bakery, diving into everything from production to payroll, ensuring the day runs smoothly.
12:00 PM – Community Connection
Heather’s afternoons are all about giving back. She helps her team pack and deliver hot lunches to local schools, strengthening community ties one meal at a time. Then, it’s off to pick up her daughter from school and drop her off at gymnastics training.
6:30 PM – Relax and Reset
Evenings are reserved for family dinners, helping with homework, and enjoying activities like swimming or walking the dog. Heather wraps up her day with some relaxation and a quick review of her calendar for the next day, ready to do it all over again.
