2. Implement tight cost controls (food waste tracking, portion standardization, weekly supplier price checks)
3. Differentiate with speed + value (fast lunch line, combo meals, loyalty card) to capture high-frequency office demand
4. Target weekday corporate/commuter footfall with local partnerships and Google Maps/SEO landing pages for “almoço executivo” keywords
5. Set operational targets (target gross margin %, labor hours per cover) and review daily using POS data
6. Create a low-cost catering and delivery add-on to smooth demand during slower periods
