How Traybakes & Cake Bars Drive Sales and Save Time on Busy Counters

In the fast-paced world of coffee shops, cafés, and delis, every decision behind the counter needs to balance speed, quality, and profitability. That’s where impulse bars and tray bakes come into their own. 

Whether it’s a morning rush or a lazy afternoon crowd, these individually portioned sweet treats are the unsung heroes of the counter – offering convenience, minimal waste, and a ready-made upsell that complements any hot drink.

Ready to Go, Right When You Need Them

Our Tray Bakes and Cake Bars are handmade with care and designed specifically for busy operators. No baking, slicing required – just open the box and you’re good to go. That means:

  •  Less prep time
  •  Fewer hands needed
  • No specialist skills required
  • Perfect for small teams or counters with limited space.


Less Waste, More Taste

With pre-portioned products, there’s no guesswork. You only display what you need, helping reduce unnecessary waste and keeping your offering fresh. These bars and tray bakes also have a great ambient shelf life, giving you the flexibility to manage stock without constant rotation.

The Ultimate Coffee Companion

Impulse snacks are proven to boost basket spend – especially when they’re placed right where the decisions happen: at the till. From a rich Chocolate Brownie to a zingy Raspberry & Almond Slice, pairing a premium cake bar with a hot drink creates the ideal upsell opportunity.

“Would you like something sweet with that?” becomes an easy win when the product speaks for itself.
