Fatores de risco

• Demand volatility could extend break-even beyond 10 months given medium viability (74/100).
• Competitor density (61 nearby) may compress margins, threatening monthly profit of $4,512–$10,092.
• Lower-bound revenue ($12,600/month) may not cover fixed and variable costs during slower seasons.
• Low GDP/capita ($5,192) suggests price sensitivity and limits ability to raise menu prices quickly.

Plano de execução

1. Validate menu pricing and positioning for Praia by surveying competitors and testing 3 price points for top sellers.
2. Secure high-traffic spots and operating hours with local permits, and build a repeatable daily schedule around peak demand.
3. Optimize food cost and speed of service (portion control, prep system, limited rotating menu) to protect the profit range.
4. Launch with 2–3 signature items plus specials tailored to local tastes, and track sales by item and time of day.
5. Run a monthly cadence of promotions (nearby offices/hotels/events) to stabilize revenue within the $12,600–$21,600 band.
6. Monitor cash flow weekly against a break-even model to ensure the 5–10 month target stays on track.
