Factores de riesgo

• Negative profit risk: down to -$2,212/month despite $8,400–$14,400 revenue range
• Extreme break-even uncertainty: 38 to 999 months suggests demand volatility and/or high fixed costs
• Competitive pressure: 31 nearby competitors can compress pricing and customer retention
• Low profitability buffer: profit ceiling of $1,208/month may not cover shocks (rent, utilities, flour prices)

Plan de ejecución

1. Tighten unit economics by mapping every SKU’s ingredient + packaging + labor cost to target contribution margins
2. Run a 30-day localized demand test in Mexicali (best-sellers, trial bundles, and pre-order pickups) to reduce sales variability
3. Optimize menu architecture around high-velocity, low-waste items (daily bread, conchas, pan dulce) and limit slow-moving SKUs
4. Implement dynamic pricing and waste controls (production to forecast, staggered bake times, discount end-of-day sustainably)
5. Differentiate with measurable value (Mexicali-specific flavors, fresh-from-oven guarantee, loyalty program, and corporate/school catering)
6. Track weekly KPIs (gross margin %, waste %, labor hours per batch, and break-even weekly cash burn) and adjust immediately
