Live Event This Weekend

HOT FROM THE OVEN

Hey! We're having burgers tonight for dinner. "I made them at noon, but we're eating them at 6p," said no one....ever.

We serve our sourdough and croissants hot from the oven all day....every day. Is it more difficult? Yup.

Is it worth it? Definitely!

There is nothing like sourdough that's still hot from the oven...I didn't even like croissants before launching IZOLA simply because the croissants I'd eaten had all been baked hours ago and served room temp. My 1st bite of a hot from the oven croissant....life changing.

So when IZOLA began, serving everything hot from the oven seemed like a no-brainer. We were also cooking in our little home oven at the time. And thank goodness we went naively into this endeavor of serving everything hot from the oven, because it ended up being so much more complicated than we could have ever guessed.

Fast forward to 1000 croissants per day...how do we do it? An interwoven system of data created by Jenny. Yay Jenny! I like to call it iZOS - IZOLA Operating System, sorry Steve Jobs. 5 main systems working together:

Production Forecast - How many do we want to make?
Production Orders - Dojo and Sourdough Department marching orders.
Proofing planner - Every tray serialized and precisely placed.
Minute-by-Minute Bake Schedule - Go Chef Lane and team.
Live Available - This is what you can order (sorry if we've ever been sold out of your favorite).
Kitchen Display Screens - Tells our Expo department what to put on your plate.....and fast....so it stays hot.

All to bring you delightful hot croissants and sourdough.

FINAL WEEKS TO INVEST IN IZOLA

Please join me and Jenny at the bakery THIS SUNDAY for a LIVE INVESTOR INFORMATION EVENT. We'll share milestones achieved, future plans and samples of our croissants and sourdough (and maybe even a glass of champagne) as we enter the final weeks to invest in IZOLA's Future.

That means your chance to own a stake in the company that is revolutionizing artisan baking is coming to a close.

As you know, the IZOLA Core team spent much of 2024 developing new recipes, completing our Automation R&D project and opening IZOLA's Faultline Park location. Following an on-time opening, and now with IZOLA operationally profitable, we set an all-time record gross sales of more than $270,000 last month (March 2025). That is more than 6x the revenue of the average bakery in the United States. And we continue delighting our guests with hot-from-the-oven croissants and sourdough and warm hospitality. IZOLA is one of the highest-rated restaurants in the city. What do we need to grow you ask?.....Capital Investment. We are building a distribution network of bakeshops, grocery stores, and direct-to-consumer channels. It's efficient and scalable with good margins.

We are primed to grow and we hope you will consider supporting our mission of elevating human potential by creating high-quality jobs with training and coaching. But hurry – our investment opportunity ends April 28th.

INVEST NOW

Just remember: once this round closes, you may not get another chance to invest at this stage of IZOLA's growth. The share price will change from the current $2.20.

We believe that ours is a big mission, and we're incredibly grateful for the support and encouragement of the great community. Join us in person on Sunday April 6th at 10a on the patio at IZOLA.

RSVP for Sunday, April 6th

CONGRATULATIONS CHEF LIDIA

This week we celebrate Chef Lidia for her 3rd year anniversary with IZOLA.

Chef Lidia, we are so tremendously honored to have gone on this journey with you and look forward to many more adventures to come.

When we began on this journey with you three years ago, you came eager to learn, having never made a croissant before. You were working in our old converted bedroom, with a walk-in that was powered by an air conditioner where we had to move croissants with a short rolling rack because of the low beam that only Jenny was short enough to walk under. We had one proofer and one croissant oven and used creative methods to proof more racks in the back room...You had people walking through your Dojo all day long to get to the pantry, letting warm air in. And yet, you still came to IZOLA each day with the biggest smile, ready to contribute to what we were building together.

You've been with us and helped us through our darkest days when we closed on October 27, 2023. You stood by us through the closure working to develop so many new croissants that we cannot wait to share with the team and our guests. You've developed systems and processes that allowed us to relaunch with a brand new Dojo team before opening at Island and celebrated alongside us when we reopened in 2024. You are now Chef to an amazing team of 4.

And while so much has changed, we have managed to find ourselves in a space where we're still carrying the flour up (or down) a flight of stairs...

There's been laughter, there's been tears, there's been all of the emotions. Chef Lidia, we could not have asked for anyone better to go on this journey with. It's been an honor for us to serve with you.

Cheers,

Jeffrey and Jenny
