Not exactly what I was expecting, but interesting nonetheless. Do you feel that the hacker business approach articles featured here helped your bakery succeed, or did they just give you impetus you needed to get started launching your own business? Just wondering.
Edit: Why not build a web app for your bakery? Allow customers to order via the web. If you provide some sort of customization so that customers can request custom cakes and confections it could turn into an interesting internet aided brick and mortar business. Whatever you do don't downplay the value of having a business that makes real money selling real things.
- aik 16y agoThat's a great idea. I just discovered an innovative little app from Domino's Pizza here in Sydney: Firstly I was able to order the entire pizza online in a very intuitive interface (with a few issues), and then pay for it online. Once paid, a ticking clock appeared that showed the exact time that they received the order, started on the pizza, baked it, and when it was complete and ready for pickup. While waiting, in the same window they did a good job of trying to offer entertainment by showing movie trailers (not my cup of tea but well implemented). Stuff like this makes a difference.

- needmoney 16y agoI already do this to an extent! It is indeed part of the added value for the business, but when I first started coding it up a lot of it was because I missed coding and was looking for an excuse to write more.
