today, i'm taking tonnie to melita's bakery, a 47,000-square-foot production facility located in thebronx. tamika: wow. tonnie: [ laughs ] this is a bakery, huh? tamika: oh, my gosh. full-scale operation. lemonis: i have an idea for tonnie to partner with melita's because they'll actually give him the ability to lower his production costs. manny, this is my friend tonnie. manny: hi, tonnie. -lemonis: this is tamika. -manny: hi, tamika. lemonis: look, manny does millions of dollars a year in business, and so i thought it would be important for you to see how a very efficient process worked. so, what does it cost you to make a basic cupcake? -manny: 44 cents. -tonnie: so 44 cents? lemonis: that's about 9 cents cheaper, right? tonnie: right. yeah. lemonis: he can make the same products for 18% less than you can make it for. and so if the break even is lower, what are you able to do? tonnie: make more money on each cupcake. lemonis: with an 18% reduction in production costs, it's a no-brainer to use melita's instead of tonnie's small kitchen. but when you look at the $250,000 of revenue
