Fatores de risco

• Break-even window of 5–10 months depends on steady demand and repeat customers
• Revenue range ($12,600–$21,600) implies sensitivity to slow months and foot-traffic variability
• Monthly profit volatility ($4,512–$10,092) risks margin compression from food, labor, and packaging costs
• High local competition (177 nearby) increases customer acquisition costs and promotional pressure
• GDP per capita ($10,311) may limit discretionary spend on premium items unless pricing is tightly managed

2. Choose a clear, high-throughput menu (2–3 signature items) designed for fast service and low waste
3. Set pricing and portioning to protect margin targets that support profit of $4,512–$10,092 monthly
