In 2006, further to a trip to Florida, James Smith<br />
identified an opportunity to start a chain of kosher<br />
bakeries that would provide both a US traditional<br />
offer and a French sophisticated bakery offer. To<br />
take that project to the next level, James Smith<br />
took an intensive training on the most recent bakery<br />
techniques used by the leading French national<br />
bakery chains.<br />
Employees are this business’ greatest asset. Great<br />
care would be taken in recruiting people who love<br />
working with these products and who are always<br />
ready to help. The consistency of the quality depends<br />
on this aspect.<br />
French Bakery, LLC will be open <strong>from</strong> 7 am to 7<br />
pm <strong>from</strong> Monday to Thursday. It will close at 4 pm<br />
on Friday. It will open at 8 am and close at 6 pm<br />
on Sunday. Therefore, the bakery will be open 67<br />
hours per week.<br />
James Smith’s responsibilities will be purely managerial.<br />
He will hire a <strong>com</strong>petent team of bakers,<br />
waiters, delivery men, and busboys.<br />
The Company plans to open a second bakery in<br />
year 3. It will hire a manager for the second bakery.<br />
