How a Rolling Forecast Saved a Bakery Chain

Episode 48 of Cash Flow Conversations explores how a three-store bakery chain used a rolling 13-week cash flow forecast to avoid a summer inventory crisis. Lucas and Luna walk through the specific steps the owners took — mapping payment timing gaps, negotiating with suppliers, and adjusting staffing schedules — that turned a projected $80,000 shortfall into a $12,000 surplus. The episode focuses on one concrete case from June 2026, showing small business owners exactly how to build a forecast that adapts week by week. No theory: just a real-world example of how a rolling forecast works when cash is tight and every invoice matters. #RollingForecast #CashFlowManagement #SmallBusiness #BakeryChain #InventoryCrisis #PaymentTiming #SupplierNegotiation #StaffingSchedules #CashShortfall #WorkingCapital #BusinessFinance #Finance #Entrepreneurship #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CashFlowConversations #FinancialPlanning #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
