Julie Bake Shop - A Popular Retail Bakery Chain In Philippines

As I was  enquiring about Philippines bakery industry  one of the news which drew my attention was  an expansion plan of  retail bakery chain named " Julie  Bake Shop ". With  quality products catering to local filipino taste it has made a mark on country bakery market. The country’s largest bakery chain, Julie’s Bakeshop, is adding another 60 outlets to its more than 600-strong branch network next year, as the industry

recovers from the effects of the global recession.

In an interview with  reporters

, Julie’s Franchise Corp. president and CEO Joseph Gandionco said the majority of the new branches would be in Luzon and Mindanao, as the Visayas market was now saturated.
As with the current mix, most of the new outlets would be owned by franchisees, he said. Of the more than 600 Julie’s Bakeshop branches nationwide, about 40 percent are company-owned, while the rest are owned by franchisees.Each Julie’s Bakeshop franchise costs P2.2 million, including equipment, seminars, and hands-on training.

http://business.inquirer.net


A Brief History
The first Julie’s Bakeshop stood in Mandaue City in January 1981. The woman behind the bakeshop chain, Julie Gandioco decided to put up the store to meet the growing demand for bread in her canteen in a rattan furtiture company.

Success proved to be handy for Julie’s Bakeshop that after only six months, the second store was opened in the province.

Then the pursuit to put the company in stronger footing started. In 1984, RJ Commodities was established as a central warehouse for Julie’s Bakeshop to ensure the steady supply of quality ingredients and bakery supplies for the business. Its main operations were initially put up in Visayas and Mindano.

Further in its successful timeline is the opening of a store in Iloilo, its first store outside Cebu, in 1988.

Julie’s Bakeshop has a vision to “be in every town and be the most sought-after Food Franchising Company maintaining leadership in the neighborhood bakeshop market.” This in a bid to address the growing demand for quality bread.Julie’s Bakeshop now has over 500 branches and outlets nationwide and close to 180 franchisees – a testament that the company indeed has molded breads that will bring entrepreneurial success.

“Julie’s Bakeshop offers freshly baked bread made from the finest ingredients. Julie’s products are produced in a clean environment, in full view of its customers. Its products are not only tasty but very much affordable,” the company said in an email to Magnegosyo.com.

Julie’s Bakeshop noted that they keep loyal clients and attract new patrons by maintaining the high standards of quality in both the products and service.

Julie’s Bakeshop now offers franchise opportunities to budding entrepreneurs who see light and flavor in the bread business network. The company noted that enterprise creation and employment opportunities were their motivation to officially go into franchising.

Rice Bread Popular In Japan

Good news for people allergic  to  wheat  and  bakery products made up of wheat flour  and to those countries which  does not have wheat grown in their country .  Japanese  bakers have  developed  rice bread   which is gaining popularity  among   Japanese people .

A report

Pic  Courtesy : CNA 

TOKYO : Rice has always been a main staple in the Japanese diet, but the consumption of rice has been falling in recent years - hurting the rice industry.

Making bread with rice flour is gaining popularity in Japan.

Hisako Sato, a baker at KiNaRi, decided to try it out.

She said: "For Japanese, rice is something always there. If I can use rice to bake, I want to try using it."

Hisako uses organic rice from Akita in northern Japan, her hometown.

One drawback of rice bread is that rice flour is more expensive than wheat because of the higher grinding cost.

But now there is an alternative - making bread from the readily-available rice grain.

The manufacturer of one machine claims it is a world's first. Chie Ito, who works in the Marketing department at Sanyo Electric, said: "Most of our wheat is imported. We hope that more people will consume rice harvested in Japan in various ways. So we have decided to propose a new eating style using rice in bread."

One cafe uses the machine to make its popular rice bread. Its secret recipe consists of rice, sugar, a tinge of salt, dry yeast and shortening.

Its rice bread comes with toppings such as small fish jako and fried burdock roots.

One customer said: "It is nice to have such toppings. It can even be served with seasoned seaweed paste, and spicy cod roe."

For those who are allergic to wheat, it is believed that rice bread makes a great alternative.

According to Japan's Agriculture Ministry, the consumption of rice has halved in the last 50 years to about 59 kilogrammes per person a year. And the food sufficiency level has fallen from 76 per cent to 40 per cent.

Now, the government is counting on rice bread to rescue Japan's dwindling rice industry.

Types of Industrial Biscuit Ovens

Various  types of biscuit ovens  are used in biscuit industry  for production of   varieties of biscuit .  Selection  parameter  for   any biscuit  oven are capacity ( which covers length ,width  and speed ) , products , baking time  and type of fuel  .Normally in bakery parlance  ovens are defined as per  width and no of  baking zones .

Biscuit ovens are mainly  classified  under  following  types

Direct gas fired

 The gas fired  oven is used  for those product  that require  great heating power . They can burn natural gas  or LPG . The gas  is mixed  with air  in a special  mixing pipe  based on  the Venturi tube  principle . In each zone  the heat at  top and bottom  can be  independently set by regulating  the two combustion  air fans which controls  the volume of gas  fed  to the  burners . A bar graph potentiometer  set by operator  can be  used to select the heat ratio between  top and bottom . Each zone is equipped with a suitable humidity  extraction system .


Indirect   radiating  cyclotherm oven

 The Indirect Gas / Diesel fired ovens  also known as  cyclotherm  oven - transfer heat  to the product   by radiation . Each zone consists of  set of tubes  at the top and bottom  of the baking  wire band  through which  the hot air  which has been previously heated  by burner flows .

At the end  of each baking  zone the hot gasses are collected  by a plenum and returned  by blowing  fan to the burner  where they  are heated  up again  to the working  temperature  and sent back  to the tube circuit . The heating  system  is there for  completely  independent  and the products  of combustion   does not  comes in contact with dough being baked . Each zone  has  extraction fan to remove humidity from  baking chambers .

Convection oven 
The convection  oven  is suitable  for baking delicate products  like cookies , wire cut  or sponge . Its baking chamber  is constituted  by a plenum  duct positioned  on the top and bottom  of the baking wire band  where hot air is  gently  blown out of  properly  designed  slats  and comes  in  contact  with the dough . The heat transfer  is mainly by convection . The convection  type of oven can be  direct  or indirect . In those cases  where the available fuel  is natural gas or lpg  and the reduction  of baking time is a necessity the direct convection  is the  correct choice .  In the  In direct   convection type of  oven  the  air is heated  up by passing through  a dedicated  heat exchanger  hence  baking  never comes into contact  with the dough .Humidity  is removed through extraction fans in each zone .

 

Hybrid  Oven

Hybrid ovens are those  ovens which have combination of any of the above types of ovens.  Sections are divided  into different type of heating  systems , depending upon  product and its baking  requirement .
  


Electric  Oven

Electric ovens  are  not so popular with  manufacturers due to low cost of lpg,cng or diesel as compared to  electricity . Oven  consist of electric heater s  which  en capsuled into radiating pipes  . These are then set  for set temperatures by thermostats .

Increase In LPG Prices Threatens Indonesian Bakeries

Fuel  in bakeries constitutes major part on costing of  the products . With daily surge on crude oil price in international market  governments  of many  countries  have no option   but to increase the prices of petrol , diesel  and  related products such as LPG ,CNG  etc .

Indonesia    is one such   example

New s article

VIVAnews - Basic electricity tariff and 12-kg LPG's prices are expected to be revised in the near future.



Small-sized industries may be highly affected by the plan. Head of Indonesian Association of Bakery Producers (APEBI) Chris Hardijaya said even now before the prices are doubled, the said industries have been bothered by the high prices of 12-kg LPG.


"The industries require four 12-kg LPG tubes for production worth Rp 300,000 of prices. Should the price go up, the costs of LPG would be Rp 400,000," he said today, June 2.



On the other hand, he said further, bread selling prices cannot be multiplied sharply. As a result, small-sized industries will be closed and layoffs cannot be avoided. "It will be the worst effect of the plan," he said.

In addition, he said, industries and homes would target the cheapest LPG of three kilograms.


A spokesperson of the small-sized industry, Sium Muchji, said that sellers now find it difficult to find 12-kg LPG. "There's shortage in the market. We used to get 30 tubes of supply. But now we are only supplied 10 tubes," Siu said.

Although  Bakery Industry in Indonesia has been dominated by unbranded cottage industry .Few modern bakeries and retail have opened up in Indonesia . Among popular player in modern bakery industry are Holland Bakery, Dunkin Donuts, JCo, BreadTalk, Breadstory, Mama Oven, Breadboy  and   retail players such as Matahari .

Solution to such a scenario would be selective subsidy   by government   to the bakeries  who  employ   number of workers in their bakeries .In a trade of between them on cheaper bread and  bakery products

History


During the 1970’s and 80’s, Tiger Oats and National Milling Co took over a number of independent bakeries to create “Albany Bakeries”. In 1983 Albany Germiston was completed, this was the biggest bakery in the country at that time and represented 20% of the baking industry in South Africa.

The Albany Brand has been around for approx 30 years. For many of these years the industry it competed in was regulated, which meant that: Each Bakery had their own allocated quota of products which they had to produce; punitive measures were in place if they under or over supplied; prices were fixed by the government; there was no differentiation, poor quality and no innovation in the market.

In 1991, the industry was de-regulated and the market became fiercely competitive with price being the main weapon used between competitors. This eroded the profitability within the industry and created a commodity market.


In 2000, Albany underwent some drastic changes in order to ensure the continuation of the brand. The key area of change was to reduce the number of bakeries around the country and install state of the art production equipment in order to launch the Albany Superior range.

This range offered superior quality which encompassed freshness, longer shelf life and whiter “white” bread. This innovation turned the market on its head and ensured the continued growth of the brand as well as the market.

In 2003/2004 the company once again brought innovation to the market by launching the Best of Both bread. The company understood that children loved white bread and wouldn’t eat brown or wholewheat bread, which parents wanted them to eat for the added health benefits (essentially the fibre levels).

Tortillas emerging as most popular bakery product in USA

GIA announces the release of a comprehensive report on Tortillas market. Consumption of tortillas is growing at a steady pace in recent years. The growth is partly attributable to the rapid expansion of the
Press Release

Latino population and the increasing popularity of tortillas among other cultures and countries as a favorite snack and meal option. In the US, tortillas have emerged as the fastest growing bakery product, and are next only to sliced bread in terms of sales.




San Jose, California (PRWEB) February 10, 2010 -- Tortilla is a flat (unleavened) white bread that serves as the staple food for Mexicans and Central Americans. The word 'Tortilla' is derived from the Spanish root 'Torta', which means 'a plain round cake'. Tortillas are eaten all round the year, and are offered in various flavors and colors depending on the type of corn used in making them. Americans extensively use tortillas in different foods and most commonly in burritos, which is a traditional food of northern Mexico. Mexicans who have settled in the southwestern parts of the US continue to eat tortillas as staple food. Flour tortillas are used in restaurants for preparing a range of Mexican and non-Mexican cuisine. Further, with the increase in Hispanic population, tortillas are no longer considered as ethnic bread, but as mainstream dish.



Mexicans are among the largest consumers of tortillas in the world as stated by the new market research report on tortillas. Corn Tortillas form the staple food of Mexicans and tortilla factories are found commonly everywhere including cities, towns and villages and at times a single street may house more than one tortilla factory.


Tortillas: A US and Mexican Market Report

Tortilla industry encompasses several small players serving local markets and a few large players serving the global markets. Even as consumption of tortillas is high in Mexico, there is virtually no competition in this market because products are mostly undifferentiated. There are about 60,000 tortillerías in Mexico, and Gruma is the only major supplier of corn flour in the market. In the US, the number of significantly larger tortillerías is higher than in Mexico, and hence competition is intense.


Key players dominating the US and Mexican markets include Gruma S.A.B. de C.V, Gruma Corporation, Mission Foods, Grupo Industrial Maseca, S.A.B. de C.V, Grupo Bimbo SA, Grupo Herdez SA de CV, Kellogg Company, Nabisco Inc., and Pepperidge Farm Inc. among others.

Bread Industry of India - A review

With changing lifestyle  , urbanisation,  increase in per capita income  and working spouse these all have  made bread a staple food in India as its in other western countries .We are now taking breads  for breakfast luncheon and dinner as well .

Number of bakeries have opened up in neighbour hood  where one can buy his daily quantum of bread .
India has few major national bread manufacturers namely Britannia and Modern ( takenover by switz group) number is very low as compared to other countries such as USA or UK. Bread Manufacturing is volume driven and low margin industry with an disadvantage of  very low shelf life of products which then requires very robust supply chain management to deliver fresh bread  to consumer  daily .

The bread market has a business volume of 1.5 million tonnes. The bread industry has a production of approximately 27 lakh tonnes.  The major factors for growth in this segment are:


Brand loyalty

Volumes

Strong distribution networks

The major challenge faced by the organized bread sector at present is low margins of profit. Hike in the prices of major raw materials like sugar, vegetable oil, milk, and wheat flour has been accounted for the industry's low margins of profit.

The per capita consumption of bread in India is only around 1.5 kg to 1.75 kg in various zones. The consumption pattern in four zones is Northern States: 27% Southern States: 32% Western States: 23% Eastern States: 18 % ( ref -AIBMA)

Few large regional players have grown up to make up for the demand.

North India
Harvest Gold ,Bonn ,Perfect ,National,Kitty

West India

Vibbs

South India

Spencer

East India
 Britannia  ,Modern
Apart from these automated major bread manufacturers several bakery chains have sprang across the city maps. These bakery chain s provide  customers with artisan breads  with origin of recipe from Italy , France and Swiss. such as  Daily Bread , Hot Bread , Cookie Man   Oven Pick  andseveral others
