The Pop-up Path: How a fortnightly takeover prepares a baker for a cafe

Tasmanian disability support worker and home-based baker Anne Santos decided to dip her toes into the waters in 2022, by taking over an existing cafe every fortnight- a move designed to prepare her for opening a cafe in the future and to attract potential customers.

What started as a small step has since evolved into a regular pop-up bakery, where Anne Santos showcases her homemade baked goods to the local community. Source: Anne Santos

Key Points

• According to Statista, the bread and bakery products market is expected to reach US$12.86bn in 2025.
• Initial investment for Santos' business 'Pagkain by Anne' amounted to only $200, covering ingredients and supplies for her baked goods.
• According to Santos, one of the challenges of a pop-up bakery is the absence of a booking system, which limits the owner's ability to forecast the customer attendance.
