Mercado local

Salvador · GDP per capita: $6000

Fatores de risco

• Negative monthly profit across the entire range ($-3299 to $-655) undermines cash flow
• Extremely long break-even (999 to 999 months) signals weak or unproven margins
• Revenue volatility gap ($7875 to $13500) increases the chance of sustained losses
• Low local purchasing power context (GDP/capita $5580) may constrain willingness to pay for premium detailing

Plano de execução

1. Redesign services into tiered packages (basic/express/premium) with transparent pricing to raise average ticket
2. Increase capacity via faster bays/process maps (check-in to delivery times) and targeted staffing shifts
3. Implement local acquisition in Salvador with Google Business Profile, WhatsApp lead capture, and neighborhood-specific offers
4. Negotiate input costs (soap, water solutions, microfiber, detergents) and track cost per vehicle daily
5. Add revenue streams (interior detailing add-ons, engine bay, engine degrease, ceramic seal) to lift margins
6. Run a 30-60 day pricing and volume test with KPIs (vehicles/day, gross margin, labor cost per car) and adjust immediately
