📝 Meeting Minutes
1. Current Bestsellers Review
Team reviewed sales data from March 2026. The top three items remain:
- Rose Croissant — 1,240 units sold
- Chili Oil Sourdough Loaf — 980 units sold
- Black Sesame Roll — 870 units sold
The team agreed to keep these as core menu staples.
However, feedback suggests customers want a larger size for the cinnamon roll.
2. New Seasonal Pastry Ideas
We brainstormed summer flavors. Ideas include:
- Orange Citrus Scone
- Hawthorne Poppyseed Muffin
- Blueberry Galette with basil herb
- Hojicha White Chocolate Croissant
Chef Maria suggested adding a vegan (tofu) chocolate tart — the group loved this idea.
3. Customer Feedback Discussion
We reviewed comments from the suggestion box and online reviews.
Key takeaways:
- More standard flavor options requested.
- Customers want breakfast sandwiches available until 12 PM.
- Several requests for lower sugar muffins.
Decision: Test chocolate muffin recipes next week with monkfruit.
