Meat pie baking in Kenya

Bake meat pies with a clear filling and portion specification.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional tea-shop order:30 chicken pies, using Culinaria Kenya’s listed80g ready-to-bake Medium Chicken Pie, packed individually in five cartons of six. The catalogue lists100units per supplier case, so this is an allocated consumption example; full-case cash and unused frozen inventory must be financed separately. Current stock, case-breaking and exact manufacturer instructions are unconfirmed. This finish-and-sell model excludes a from-scratch meat recipe.

Who is the first customer?
