Ashley — Gifted Patisserie Cafe Startup Consulting
Start the Audit
Bakery Business Clarity Session

You know what's delicious. You don't yet know what's sustainable.

You've picked your dishes. You've written the recipes. You've maybe even priced a few, roughly, in your head.

"Am I doing the right things with my money?"

This 1:1 Consultation is built to remove confusion and guesswork, helping you gain a clearer, personalised roadmap you can actually follow — before you're serving it under pressure, on opening week, with a queue out the door.

Who this Audit is actually for

Being clear about fit up front means the time we spend together is useful, not wasted.

This Audit is for you if

  • You already have menu directions or recipes, even in rough form or idea in items — you just don't know if it fits the market now
  • You're not sure your pricing actually covers your real costs
  • You want an outside, professional eye before you commit to a bigger investment
  • You'd rather sort out any possible problems first, before going live in the kitchen
  • You want a written plan and advice you can act on immediately
  • You have an idea and a rough concept, but aren't sure if it works and need trained, expert advice
  • You value structured, honest, and practical guidance before committing serious money
  • You're looking for better workflow advice or on-site training — that's Startup Setup

It's not the right fit if

  • You're mainly looking for existing or new recipe/menu R&D instead of this first-tier audit — start with Custom Recipe Development instead
  • You're not ready to take responsibility for your business
  • You're expecting free, ongoing revisions after the report
  • You want financing, funding, or business-loan advice
  • You're looking for fast "turnover and get rich" tips
  • You're looking for free recipes just to copy and paste
In our 90-minute private consultation

What we actually go through

1

Your current menu, as it stands

Every item reviewed exactly as it is today — find out your concept, an honest look at what you've got, and see how it can actually work. We find the direction together.

2

Costing & pricing check

Where your margins are solid, where they're thin, and what needs to change before you're locked into a printed menu.

3

1–2 troubleshooting advice sessions

Anything that isn't behaving — locations, environment, a recipe, a ratio, the presentation, a process that keeps going wrong.

4

Your written roadmap

A report with clear, specific next steps you can act on immediately — delivered in 1–2 weeks.

Why work with Ashley

Someone who's run the kitchen, not just studied it

Every recommendation in your Audit comes from someone who's actually built, costed, and run a working patisserie business — not a consultant reciting theory.

Built a real patisserie business

Every recommendation comes from recipes that were actually costed, produced, and sold — not tested in theory.

Numbers before opinions

Before anything gets called "good," it gets costed. You'll know your margins on day one, not month three.

Works with what you have

No rebuilding your concept from scratch. The audit starts from your menu, your kitchen, your constraints.

Cafe owners who've been through the Audit

★★★★★

"Ashley found two menu items that were quietly losing us money — we had no idea until the costing check. Paid for itself before we'd even opened."

PR
Priya R.
Owner, Sundial Coffee House
★★★★★

"I walked in with a stack of recipes and a lot of doubt. I walked out with real numbers and a plan I could actually follow."

DT
Daniel T.
Founder, The Rolling Pin Bakehouse
★★★★★

"Straightforward, no fluff, and she genuinely understands the kitchen side — not just the spreadsheet side."

Ready to start

Book your Bakery Business Clarity Session

What happens after you book: you'll get a short intake message asking for your current menu and recipes, however rough. This means our first working session goes straight into your business instead of the basics.

Note: this is a menu & recipe audit, not a business plan or investment consultation. For layout, staffing systems, or financing, that's covered under Startup Setup and Full Launch.

No recipes yet? Message about Custom Recipe Development (new recipes built from scratch) or Recipe Licensing (one of Ashley's tested recipes, adapted for your kitchen) instead.
