Subway already bakes cookies. Starbucks bakes a bunch of stuff. I’m sure McDonald’s would be happy to put a single tiny oven to bake their apple pies in each location.
Baking a loaf once a day isn’t all that hard especially if you just bought a bread maker. This could easily be like the era before internet porn where porn stores would have some regular books in the window.
"Sir, I ran the numbers. We can expand the restaurant to add ovens for the bakery to sell fresh bread. It’ll cost us $2,000,000 for the expansion and we’re projecting to lose half a million a year in operating costs. Or we can just pay our dozen employees an extra $2 an hour, making our employees happier, increasing retention rates, reducing training costs, and all in all just being the right thing to do "
“Good work, Johnson. I want those ovens up and running by Monday.”
