Hi

I have tried google , Golden Pages etc but no joy.

Thanks in advance

Google: wholesale bakery donuts

Thanks I tried that search but its pointing me to retailers who use the term bakers.

Cuisine de France Musgraves etc are all frozen suppliers I am looking for a fresh option.

Thanks again for the reply

Nice. Now I fancy donuts

If its just a sideline, then frozen doughnuts from Musgraves and defreeze as required.

Every doughnut from petrol stations and most cafes are the same.

Other food service companies such as Pallas Foods, Brakes ( www.brake.eu ) & others.

The quality of doughnut offered by those companies ensured the niche in a market for an actual decent doughnut

Yes I should have been clearer in original post. I am an existing customer of pallas musgraves etc but looking for a non frozen fresh donut offering

Thanks for reply, not a sideline but to become main offering a step above petrol stations etc.


Again sorry for not being more specific in original post.

These guys are not a bakery. Everything comes in Frozen.

In the same boat-its impossible to get good ones.

I have done the legwork and most of the good donut suppliers in town have their own shops so dont want to supply wholesale. If they do they dont want to deliver very far. I have tried them all and none will deliver to me.....and Im only in Dublin 15.

Thought the donut fad was over

Bandara

It is and has been for about a year. However that doesn't mean donuts won't consistently sell on a ongoing basis the way they have for the past 20 years.

Consider making your own?

There is a serious taste difference if you could work out the logistics. Wouldnt necessarily have to be made to order, could be done in batches

It's not that difficult to make fresh donuts

You're ignoring the shelf-life of donuts, the yield from that machine, and the margin that you'd make from them versus the cap ex of that machine.

The former means your production unit would have to be very close to your vendors, thus incurring a rent premium. Not to mention your waste/returns.
The yield from that machine means you'd be standing over it for a very measly output. It's a serious pinch point in your scalability.
Your margin on your produce when you take in ALL overheads means that machine will be spitting out for a long long time before it starts turning out some money.

The machine employed by the crowd I mentioned about is much bigger that the link you posted and I'd wager it's price tag is a multiple of the price of your mini donut machine

Would you have a rough idea of how many they are churning out every day ? I see more and more people carrying their boxes of 3 around town

All fair points but he doesn't want to mass produce, he just wants to sell them in his own retail store. Those machines can produce between 600 and 1800 mini donuts an hour apparently, its worth exploring
