Abstract:
This qualitative study investigates the supply chain procedures used by neighborhood bakeries and cafés in Olongapo City that make their own breads and pastries. Finding the typical problems these companies encounter, the methods they take to deal with supply chain problems, and the advice they give prospective business owners are the main objectives of the study. Key concerns including inventory control, transportation delays, and supplier dependability were identified as significant barriers using theme analysis and in-depth survey responses. As a result, companies put into practice sensible fixes like utilizing inventory management software, cultivating solid supplier connections, and obtaining ingredients locally. The results give a solid grasp of how small-scale food businesses handle intricate supply chain dynamics and give prospective bakery or café entrepreneurs practical advice on how to create robust and effective businesses.
