Mama Mimi’s is a for profit micro business creating Sustainable Jobs, while supporting local communities.

The fact that Mama Mimi’s derives its income through premix sales guarantees an ongoing partnership with our bakers. With just over 300 Mama Mimi’s Bakeries and many lives positively changed we are confident that we are on the right track towards creating true upliftment.We work to find and support entrepreneurs who are interested in becoming bakers to run their micro-business selling baked goods to their neighbours / community:

Mama Mimi’s Micro Bakery

We provide a complete turn-key operation which includes a wood-fired oven and all equipment required to start a micro-bakery. (List below)

The oven is steel, hard-wearing, low-maintenance and ingeniously designed to heat up evenly with no cold spots within it. It requires a wipe of sunflower oil from time to time to keep the steel rust-free (maintained much like a potjie pot). The closed fire box is designed to be an extremely efficient heat source; consuming low volumes of wood and creating almost no smoke. The oven can be used indoors as a safe source of heat (a flue may be advised) and two or three pots can be used on top of the oven which acts as a hot plate.

We provide ongoing supply to the bakery with Premix, a pre-packed, portioned out formula of ingredients that provide consistent taste, size and nutrition to the end product.

Following recruitment we train the baker(s) for 2 days and provide ongoing mentorship of their business. This is essential for our business as Mama Mimi’s is an incentive-based model where our success in supplying Premix is directly linked to the entrepreneur’s success as a baker, simply put -the better the baker does the better Mama Mimi’s does.

Immediate Profit For Bakers

The Baker simply provides flour, water and wood to the business. A simple and convenient production process produces 8 loaves of bread per hour, and 5 large pizzas per hour (a pizza requires 12 min in the oven).

We also supply conveniently packaged and pre weighed premixes to make a multitude of other income generating bakery items for example, Mama Mimi’s Snowball Mix, Chelsea Bun Premix and Scones Premix etc.

We can demonstrate that should a baker work 5 hours per day and produce and sell a combination of products that they can net around R4k per month. This can be achieved at a lower price point than any other similar products currently in the market. Productive bakers working longer hours with varied products can earn as much as R12k per month.

It is an important aspect of the business that a baker, following their training, will be able to immediately begin producing and selling bakery products to their community.

Convenience

Mama Mimi’s is all about creating convenience and simplicity for the baker to maximize their output. There a numerous ways of adding value to a loaf of bread that makes commercial sense for the baker e.g. making sandwiches, garlic and specialty breads and quarter loaves.

We encourage and guide on product, marketing and production innovation throughout our training and mentoring relationship with the bakers.

Pricing

Depending on the training an initial mentorship required Mama Mimi’s micro bakeries cost between R9 500 – R15 000.
