DESCRIPTION:

The candidates are summoned to Hutong at the Shard in Central London. Lord Sugar reveals that they will be manufacturing savoury bao buns to punt to the public and a bespoke sweet bun to sell to a corporate client, with the team who secures the biggest overall profit winning. The women sell fish savoury buns to the public, and a chocolate meringue sweet one to their corporate client, along with upselling garnishes with their savoury buns, achieving good sales of the former despite issues with ordering ingredients, and receiving a lower price for their corporate order. The men sell chicken buns to the public, and created a fruit and marshmallow sweet bun for their corporate customer, but suffered issues in manufacturing, not selling all their stock, and a failure to upsell the garnishes along with a questionable pricing policy. In the boardroom, the women are revealed to have made a bigger profit - although they are left surprised when Shannon Martin chooses to leave the process before the results are announced owing to her concerns over the environment, leaving the men to be grilled over their errors. Of the final three, Kevin D'Arcy is dismissed over his mismanagement of the sub-team and coming up with a flawed pricing strategy for the savoury buns.

Note: Beginning with this task, Tim Campbell would be stepping in for Claude for the remainder of the process due to health concerns.
