Bakery businesses face distinctive rostering challenges due to the unique demands of retail and kitchen operations including managing shift work for early mornings, coordinating between front-of-house and baking staff, and adapting to peak periods.
Bakers often start work before dawn, making it difficult to find staff willing to consistently work early hours while maintaining a balanced schedule.
Synchronising the schedules of baking staff and front-of-house employees is crucial to ensure baked goods are ready for sale when the shop opens.
Holidays and weekends can lead to surges in demand, requiring careful planning to have enough staff on hand to manage both production and customer service.
Juggling different contract types, such as part-time, full-time, and casual workers, adds complexity to scheduling and ensuring consistent coverage.
Bakery operations can extend beyond regular hours, and controlling overtime to manage costs while ensuring enough staff coverage is a constant challenge.
Scheduling skilled bakers during key production times to maintain quality, while balancing less experienced staff for support, requires careful planning to meet high standards.
