I quit my engineering job to open a French bakery in NYC

[@ArrKayLondon]

One my favourite restaurant's in London is run by a former engineer too. They are very detail orientated and think about the processes of making products & making consistent quality. A perfect outlook for a food service business.

[@ttopero]

“Brings in” says nothing about how much profit is being made. $128k sounds good but what are the expenses?

[@noorclean2915]

It says "up to" that means it is their biggest monthly profit and that means averagely they earn less

[@ttopero]

@@noorclean2915 the point is that there’s a difference between “revenue” & “profit”. It makes people dumb to not differentiate between the two as most Americans think in job income terms (AKA personal profit) rather than gross revenue. Did you assume they had up to a $128k profit every month? That means an average profit of $2.84 per item at 1500 items sold daily (30day month). Now review the video.

[@sgt.briskee9313]

@@ttopero I’m pretty sure the expenses aren’t going to be more than 20,000 to 30,000 a month. There is no reason it should cost that much to run a business per month when they are only selling coffee and bread.

[@dolioff]

They published a long format of these two guys. They broke down the numbers and it was about 40k profit on their higher month. Not too shabby

[@sgt.briskee9313]

@@dolioff shii, I wanna know what there average gross revenue monthly is now. And what expenses is eating up a majority of their income

The point the engineering job afforded him the bank roll to go into his heart's Passion... people always overlook that part of the story

[@tidus7081]

not really. many engineering jobs now pay little. I haven't accumulated more than what my friends do in other industries.

[@joeybible683]

​@@tidus7081 I'm a former sous chef at a high end, fancy place and have moved into engineering to someday fund opening a restaurant. Soo I don't really know where you're coming from or what you understand about finances but engineering absolutely still pays

[@tidus7081]

one sided view lol. . you're a chef from a 'high end, fancy place' but pays little. The same can happen for engineering. get a little wiser :)@@joeybible683

This is just so delightful and inspiring! Love seeing people live their dreams and be so successful, yet grounded. ❤

[@LemonGreenism]

What’s funny is that you can clearly tell that they did not became bakers, they « opened » a bakery. That’s a smart move, he probably bring on the knowledge on how a French pastry should look like and he is the brand but you don’t become a baker in a day, it might be even more hardworking than certain engineering jobs (physically and regarding the hours you have to put in)

[@thekeyimani]

You know what’s funny? I’m a CS major, and my dream is to fully fund my own Bakery business once I graduate and make enough revenue. People always say to have hobbies on the side for STEM majors but get uncomfortable when they actually do 😭😭😭😭

Sheesh. Rough crowd nowadays...

I love ❤️ this ! Wow the food looks delicious 😋

[@ruslan5051]

This bakery is located in downtown Brooklyn. Visited to try a croissant. I bought a chocolate croissant and the price was higher than other bakeries or coffee shops. Nothing special about this chocolate croissant. It’s just the social media makes good advertising and that’s all. In NY has much better places for lower prices.

[@AmsterdamEats]

What's the net profit on that revenue though? And how early do they have to wake up every morning?

[@o0laieta0o]

3 am max if the croissants are real

[@LemonGreenism]

They did not say they became bakers… they said they « opened » a bakery. He is just the French face let’s say the brand I guess as the whole point I am sure was to make more money working less hours and less hard as well as doing something more enjoyable

[@TC_cho]

❤ love bakery arts

[@blessall8856]

Everything looks delicious!😋

[@yodatwinkie]

I wonder what they pay on rent and other business expenses

[@revl6151]

Typically costs account for 91-96% of gross rev According to a google search

[@priscillaserrano7441]

Congratulations this is Awsome business.
