Factores de riesgo

• Break-even risk: the 5–10 month window depends on sustaining enough sales volume
• Revenue variability risk: monthly revenue range ($12,600–$21,600) suggests demand sensitivity to location and days
• Profit pressure risk: profit margin swing implied by $4,512–$10,092 may be impacted by food and labor costs
• Competitive risk: 1 nearby competitor could take share if menu, price, or service speed is weaker

2. Design a focused, high-throughput menu with 6–10 hero items to maximize average ticket and reduce prep time
3. Price for local affordability using GDP/capita context ($6,875) and run limited-time specials to build repeat orders
4. Implement daily inventory and waste tracking to protect the $4,512–$10,092 profit band
5. Launch with local partnerships (gyms, campuses, events) and track sales by day/location to refine placement
6. Create a 90-day marketing calendar (social media, WhatsApp promotions, flyer drops) targeting lunch and evening peaks
