People always ask, "What are the best recipes to cook to earn the most coins?". Well this is the answer! I did a little math and worked out the top 10 best recipes to make based on coin earnings.
These prices are based on the NEW prices in Bakery Story. The new Top 10 recipes are the same as the old Top 10 recipes, but the profit has gone down on every recipe due to the price increase. To see the info about the new prices, click here!
This pricing considers the amount of money you have to use to make the recipe. To calculate this profit you have to:
Take the profit, subtract the price of the food. Then take that number and divide it by the number of servings. Then after all the calculations, you are looking for the HIGHEST numbers.
I did this calculation for ALL the foods in Bakery Story and below you will find the Top 10 foods for earning coins. The price shown is the PROFIT per serving.
1. Red Velvet Cake (Oven, 1day): 7.02
2. Sugar Cookies (Oven, 1day): 5.87
3. Latte (Drink Mixer, 1day): 5.86
4. Love Potion (Drink Mixer, 1 day):
5. Earl Grey Tea (Drink Mixer, 1day): 5.87
6. Hot Apple Cider (Drink Mixer, 16hrs): 5.38
7. Cinnamon Rolls (Oven, 12hrs): 5.01
8. Cappuccino (Drink Mixer, 12hrs): 5.01
9. Pumpkin Pie (Oven, 2days): 4.95
10. Valentine Cookies (Oven, 1day): 4.7
While looking at profit per serve is interesting, because we cannot control the number of serves each time we make a recipe, it is more useful to look at the profit you can generate for a given time period.
ReplyDeleteI ran your numbers (excellent summary by the way) of the time, cost, and earnings and determined the profit per hour of cooking time.
The winner by a mile is the brownies which comes out at a profit of 4,800 per hour. Each batch costs 30, earns 110 giving a profit of 80 a batch. Because they only take 1 minute to cook, you can do 60 batches in an hour meaning you get a total of 4800 profit in an hour.
Second is chocolate cookies (1,200 an hour) closely followed by Jasmine Tea (1,180 an hour), Blueberry Muffins (1120 an hour), cherry pie (1060/hr), sweet tea (1000/hr), coffee (960/hr), mince pie (940/hr), white peach tea (940/hr), red velvet cookies (913/hr), matcha (880/hr) and the strawberry smoothie (860/hr).
The worst performer is the carrot cake coming out at only 140/hour. This is slightly worse than the chocolate tart (146.7/hr) and the peach cobbler (153/hr).
This analysis is handy to compare recipes with the same cooking time. If say you want to cook something for 4 hours, you get more bang for your buck cooking the beach cupcakes at 640 profit/hour compared to the espresso which is 162.5/hr.
For longer time periods coconut cream pie (8 hours and 600/hour profit) and lamour special (12 hours at 686.7/hr profit) are good.
Although the profit per serve is interesting, the profit per hour of cooktime offers a better comparison of earning potential.
The problem with cooking for a per hour amount is that there is only a set number of customers a day which means you can make as many servings as you want but you are only going to sell x number of servings a day.
DeleteMy top 10 are the highest yielding per serving so you are getting the maximum price for each serving sold
Do you happen to know the max number of customers a day?
DeleteI'm not sure how you'd know how many customers a day there are, but I too find the profit per serving interesting, and also think in terms of potential profit within a certain amount of time.
DeleteThe reason I have to disregard the rationale behind a limited clientele per day is because regardless of how many customers a day there are, all the food WILL be used, and the amount expected will still be earned.
If a person wants to make the most amount of money, the quickest means possible, it wouldn't be reasonable to follow a highest-profit-per-serving, but the most money in the least amount of time.
Not to mention, your top recipe's required a day or 2 to make, and that is wasting a lot of potential profit.
Here is an example with hard numbers. Brownies vs pumpkin pie.
Brownies take 1min, generate 110 servings, with a profit of 80coins.
Pumpkin pie takes 2 days, generates 1,750, profit of 8,660.
Now, if in the time it took to complete a pumpkin pie, we sat making brownies, we'd be making Brownies for 8,640 minutes. Multiply that by the serving size and profit of Brownies,
IN THE TIME IT TOOK TO MAKE 1 PUMPKIN PIE, YOU COULD HAVE MADE 950,400 SERVINGS, AND $691,200(coins)!!!
That totally blows 1,750 servings, and 14,000clins out of the water.
And even if that is more servings than can be consumed in a 24hour period, it's alright, because it will still bring in the same amount once it is used up.
Of course you aren't going to make Brownies every minute from 2 days, but its the same principle on a smaller scale.
In fact, if you just sat making Brownies, you'd only need to spend 1hr 50min in order to equal the profit of a pumpkin pie, vs 2 days.
No matter what, Brownies have the highest earning potential. Time consuming, which isn't always practical, but it isn't hard to make up for it.
Thank you both!
ReplyDeleteHow did you make this list??
ReplyDeleteWhy are there more customers in bakerystory? Than in restaurantstory,how do you how many customers will come in?
ReplyDeleteIf you have enough accessible chairs and tables, you sell about 1 item per second.
ReplyDeleteI too count with profit per hour instead of profit per serving as I have not seen a limited amount of customer's in bakery story, but it's important to actually note the serving as your heart will go down if you don't have anything to serve, aka empty counter but still brownies still win in servings per hour too.
ReplyDeleteRed velvet cake is probably THE BEST, but I do want to say that cooking pumpkin pie isn't as bad as you may think
ReplyDeleteYou get 8 coins per slice sold, and if mixed in with other items, can earn more money than you think.
