Front view from the bakery
Mr Ayyappa, the owner of Ayyappa bakery and sweets owns a bakery just opposite to the Vidyaranyapura Bus Stop. As you can imagine with a bakery opposite to a crowded bus stop, there seem to be tens and thousands of people coming everyday. He is relentlessly running around all the time serving tea, puffs and many other snacks to his beloved customers. He is in the bakery 16 hours a day and 7 days a week. A honest and hard working person. But the problem in his bakery was none of the products were new or innovative. Adjacent to his bakery was another one where they seemed to be making deep fried huge burgers and selling it at Rs 20 attracting many people.
INTERACTION:
Since his business was not running very well, I asked him if I could make a new product for him. He was willing to try and told me to get a few samples. I handed him a few pieces of Steamed Spinach Sandwich which contained boiled potato with salt and chilly powder in steamed spinach with ketchup inside two slices of bread. The expenditure of one SSS was Rs3. We sold it at Rs4. His thoughts were that the customers wouldn't really go for it since it is new and wanted something sweet. However, we tried selling and on the first day, having made 10 pieces 5 were sold with Ayyappa making a profit of Rs5 on that day.
AREA OF EXPERTISE:
Mr Ayyappa seemed to be an expert in cutting and toasting bread. He moves very quick, sharp skills and hard working.
