Value Proposition / Values

Strategy

“Big Cinnabon Flavor, One Bite at a Time.”

Introducing a “bite‐sized”, portable version of our Classic Roll.

Our objective is to appeal to a new guest, looking for something that’s less filling,

portable, and less messy but with all the great taste that comes from our Classic Cinnabon.

Profile

APPEARANCE• All Cinnabon Bites are round; not square and stand upright.• Frosting is evenly spread over entire top of each Cinnabon Bite, and running down the

sides in numerous areas.• Bake temperature is 175°F. to 185° F.• Color of the Cinnabon Bites are light to golden brown without looking burnt.• Each Cinnabon Bite has 2 ½ wraps.• Each Cinnabon Bite is approximately 1 ½ inches in diameter.• Gapping between wraps is preferably “0”.• All Cinnabon Bites in the pan appear consistent in size and shape.

FLAVOR• Each Cinnabon Bite has a full bodied cinnamon flavor.• The frosting provides a sweet, fresh taste. Cream cheese, vanilla and lemon flavors

are also present.

TEXTURE• The dough is smooth, tender and slightly chewy.• Cinnabon Bites eat moist throughout, without being “doughy” (underdone) in the

center. Air pockets appear when center is torn apart.• The frosting is smooth, not grainy, melts evenly and does not separate.

Receiving Instructions

Prod

uctHandling

• FTO Bites should be removed from the freezer section of the delivery truck and transported immediately to the in bakery freezer. Do not allow the delivery driver to “stage” the complete frozen order at the door of the truck or on the pavement outside the truck.

• Open and check 2/3rd of your delivery to insure that bites have not or are not thawed. Temp several bites from the open cases, they should be equal to or less than 0°F. Rolls should be frozen hard and should be loose from each other in the case. If the bites have been thawed and refrozen there will be ice crystals in the box.

• Rolls that have been temperature abused should be returned and the cases marked with a marker “REFUSED” due to thaw. This is so that they can’t be re‐delivered to another bakery.

• Place call to your DC andJuan Carlos Banderas‐Director of Quality Assurance (contact information on following page)and copy your FC on the delivery issues you have experienced to ensure the problems are corrected before your next delivery.

Accept bites that look like this.
