Factores de riesgo

• Negative profit scenario (-$1,448/month) at the low revenue end
• Very wide break-even range (16 to 999 months) suggesting unstable unit economics
• Revenue concentration risk given the modest monthly range ($10,080–$17,280)
• Competitive pressure from at least 1 nearby competitor in a small catchment
• Potential cost overruns in brick-and-mortar operations that can push results from +$3,232 to losses

Plan de ejecución

1. Tighten the menu around high-margin, fast-turn items and remove low-volume dishes to improve profit reliability
2. Set daily volume targets and track contribution margin per item (food + labor + overhead) from the first week
3. Run a 30-day Talcahuano launch with local promotions (combo lunches, office bundles, student deals) to validate demand quickly
4. Optimize operations for lunch throughput (prep schedules, portioning, queue flow) to raise sales without adding staffing costs
5. Negotiate supplier pricing and lock key ingredients with weekly contracts to reduce cost volatility
6. Model multiple break-even scenarios and trigger corrective actions (pricing, offers, hours, staffing) if trailing sales miss targets
