Factores de riesgo

• Food and ingredient price volatility could compress profit from the $4,512–$10,992 range
• Demand fluctuations may delay the 5–10 month break-even window
• High local competition density (500 nearby) can limit achievable revenue in the $12,600–$21,600 band
• Operational disruptions (permits, power, cold-chain) can raise costs and reduce margins
• Currency/inflation pressures tied to GDP/capita of $9,605 may reduce customer purchasing power

2. Lock in menus with 2–3 hero items using locally reliable suppliers to protect margin targets
3. Run daily cost controls (portioning, waste tracking, inventory logs) to sustain $4,512–$10,992 monthly profit potential
4. Set pricing and combos for affordability while maintaining target contribution margin given GDP/capita of $9,605
5. Launch a week-long SEO + local outreach campaign (Google Maps, WhatsApp ordering, social proof, menu photos in Spanish) to drive repeat visits
6. Track weekly KPIs (revenue per hour, average ticket, labor %, waste %) and iterate within the first 60–90 days to stay on the 5–10 month break-even path
