Mandazi stall in Kenya
Sell mandazi in a consistent size during a defined breakfast window.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional morning mandazi stall trial: one hundred accepted pieces sold individually during one service, made using a cook-approved batch and five kg mandazi flour purchased. Offer plain mandazi with no milk/egg addition in this example unless the flour label contains relevant ingredients. Piece size is agreed by an actual sample; flour quantity does not guarantee one hundred pieces. Safe cooking, oil management and holding follow a competent food plan.
Who is the first customer?
Commuters and nearby workers.
Test the offer
Trial one permitted morning session and count both sold and leftover pieces.
