How We’re Moving Forward as a Small Cookie Bakery During a Pandemic
Since mid-March, the coronavirus pandemic has affected our Sonoma County cookie bakery in a number of ways. From a dramatic drop in sales and staff changes to new safety guidelines and regulations, things have been changing fast and we have needed to adapt swiftly. But through it all, our goal has always remained the same: spreading the love to our community…one cookie at a time!
Moving Forward as a Small Business During COVID-19
Not surprisingly, business was down for us at COOKIE… Take a Bite! when the pandemic started. The first two weeks were devastating for many reasons, leaving the future of our bakery uncertain.
COOKIE…Take a Bite! Core Values Coming to Light During COVID-19
Like many others during this time of crisis, we have taken a moment to reflect and recalibrate our focus at COOKIE…. Take a Bite! It has been a long and uncertain couple of months and we have had to take a hard look at our business, make tough employment decisions, and work diligently to stay true to our mission.
Personalized Service for Our Valued Customers
Through this entire experience, the biggest benefit of operating our cookie company in this amazing county has been you – our customers! The amount of support we have received from our local community has brought new energy to our goal of providing the highest quality products and personalized service to all our customers.
Upon reflection, we see we were never going to be a wholesale monster with cookie bags in every national grocery store chain, and we don’t want to be! Our goal is to invest in our local bakery so we can continue to provide the best personalized experience to our customers.
With support from Sonoma Family Meal, local companies like Traditional Medicinals, Straus Organic Creamery, Oliver’s Market, and most importantly our amazing customers and family, we survived the worst of the economic hit and now we are ready to move forward doing what we do best!
