few years really put pressure on our existing people
and the time they invested in new hires felt wasted. "
Haaf urged that the industry needs to look at
stronger commitments to computer-based training
and on-demand videos with new employees.
Technology can also play a role in assisting in productivity,
as well as bridging the gap while training a new
workforce.
" Our manufacturers continue to develop great new
innovations. "
In addition, freezer-to-oven product quality has come
a long way over the past several years and has become
more relevant in bakery categories.
" Bakers used to be a dime a dozen and trained their
own replacements upon retirement. Now turnover in
bakeries is at an all-time high. Croissants being a perfect
example. The most critical step in a great croissant is
proofing. Freezer-to-over now eliminates that step. In
fact, it eliminates several steps. You now place on pan,
bake, and package. As retailers, you now have multiple
options to pick from. Proof and bake, freezer to oven,
or fully finished. All you have to do now is decide what
product offering fits your current workforce and your
customer's needs. "
Elevating affordability and value remain a top priority
for customers. However, customers have also come to
expect and turn to higher quality products. This can be
seen as a win for retailers, allowing them to introduce
new and higher quality products.
" In my previous role as VP of Deli Bakery Operations,
we understood that we were an impulse buy department, "
Haaf shared, " meaning our product offerings
were not must-have items on our customers' shopping
lists. Retailers need to be looking at ways to present
value to our customers while at the same time feeding
their permissible indulgences. "
One example, noted by several Top 100 retailers, is ½
cake and ½ pies. Programs such as these give customers
the quality they want at a price better suited to their
budget. E-commerce continues to hold strong. You need
to ensure it is an essential part of your company's staff
education and resourcing strategy. Convenience has
