The Problem: Silent Revenue Bleeding
Columbus bakeries face a hidden crisis. While staff focus on baking, decorating, and serving in-person customers, the phone rings—and rings unanswered. Let's calculate what this actually costs your business:
Cost #1: Missed Calls & Lost Customers

Average Bakery Data (Columbus Market):
- Incoming calls per month: 240
- Calls missed: 72 calls
- Average order value: $45 (custom cakes, wedding orders, catering)
- Closure rate (calls that convert): 35%
72 missed calls/month × 35% conversion rate × $45 average order = $1,134/month lost
