Bakery

A bakery shop runs as a shop in Kila with the Food safety rules, so its bread and cakes are kept in batches with their dates and its waste is written off with a reason.

A bakery shop sells bread, cakes and pastries over the counter, most of them good for a few days. Kila runs it as a shop with the Food safety rules.

What is special

The Food safety rules come with it: stock in batches with their dates, waste written off with its reason, and the licences and certificates on the calendar. See Food safety. A bakery that bakes from recipes in quantity, for its own shop or for others, can be run as Food production instead.

There is no demo bakery yet. Nyama Bora Butchery shows the Food safety rules at work.
