Friday Night

It Begins!
On the first night, all the bakers and team leaders gather at the production kitchen for dinner and to kickoff the event!
Team Leaders will have 60 seconds to pitch their team name and the product they plan to bake in order to build teams for the weekend! Once every Team Leader has pitched, then team building begins, however, each team is limited to 5 members total.
After teams are finalized, the Team Leader signs their team up for the 2-hour time slot in the kitchen to mix, bake, and package all of the baked goods they plan on making. At this time, each team’s C.O.G.S. (Cost Of Goods Sold) will be determined in order to calculate the winner since the winning team will be the one with the most profit, not revenue. Each team will have a budget of $200, so every team lead gets to decide how much product they are making as well!
Once teams are signed up for their baking time slot, all teams should spend some time brainstorming their production and marketing plan for Saturday and Sunday!
Saturday

Time to Bake!
Each Team will have 5 hours to mix, bake, and package their baked goods and a team will be starting every hour, on the hour starting at 7am! Baking coaches will be on site to help all of the participants execute their production plan and guide them through the production process.
When a team is not in the kitchen baking, they will be working on their booth setup, booth materials, and executing their marketing plan to get as many customers as possible to their booth when the market opens on Sunday at noon!
Marketing coaches will be on site to help with logos, ingredient labels, pricing, banners, etc. All materials can be stored on site overnight in order to help setup booths easier.
Remember, any money not spent on ingredients can be used for marketing!
Sunday

HOLIDAY MARKET!
Doors open at 10:30 so everyone can grab breakfast and start to setup for the market which will begin at noon!
Every team will need the following information available at their booth:
1. Team Name
2. Team members
3. Copies of Food Handlers Card
4. Ingredients List
5. Price/unit
6. Products marked in a way that distinguishes their product at the register
7. Any discounts for bulk purchases
At 3:00 pm the market closes, teams will start taking down their booth, and sales totals will be tallied for each team and calculated with their C.O.G.S. in order to determine the winner, which will be announced at 4:00 pm.
No matter who wins all the teams keep the revenue they generated during the market split evenly between all the members on the team!
