Bakery Financial Model - Product Mix, Prime Cost & Waste (Excel)

Bakers price the sale and forget the product that spoils overnight. A sold-out counter looks like a win, but a bakery bleeds through waste and labour just as easily as it earns through the till. The margin depends on what is baked, sold, and thrown away.
