F.A.Q.'s

Is there a separate franchise or royalty fee for Mini-Bake?

No. There are no separate franchise, royalty, or monthly ad fees tied to Mini-Bake.

How much space do I need?

A compact 2’2″ D × 1’5” W counter footprint. Plan a little extra for safe service and guest access.

What are my food costs?

$0.33 – $0.45 is a typical range for product cost per cookie. Assumes average box yield and following the Operating Procedures laid out by Great American Cookies. Set the retail price to your traffic and margin goals.

How long does product last in the cooler?

Refrigerated dough carries a 90-120-day shelf life, which makes inventory planning straightforward.

Do I need special infrastructure?

No extra hood, grease trap, or separate POS. That’s the point—Mini-Bake is designed for simple add-on deployment.

How much does Mini-Bake cost?

Pricing varies depending on existing site infrastructure! Get in touch, and we’ll evaluate your space and existing equipment with you.

Is Mini-Bake a good fit for convenience stores and travel plazas?

Yes. The compact 2’2″ D × 1’5” W footprint sits at checkout or on a front counter, captures impulse purchases, and runs with minimal labor—ideal for C-stores, fuel/travel plazas, and high-traffic grab-and-go formats.

How is product supplied and stored?

Dough ships in 250 to 285-count boxes and carries a 90-120-day refrigerated shelf life, which simplifies par levels and reduces waste.

Can I test before scaling to multiple locations?

Absolutely. Many partners start with one unit, evaluate velocity, then roll to additional stores once targets are met.

Who do I call if I need help?

You’ll have a single point of contact for equipment, product ordering, and marketing materials. We keep support centralized to reduce time and friction.

What space and power do I need?

Counter space of 2’2 D × 1’5” W and standard countertop power per the equipment spec sheet. Your rep will confirm the exact electrical requirement for your location.

What about merchandising?

A branded countertop display is included. We also provide simple placement tips (near coffee, fountain, or checkout) to maximize impulse lift.
