Factores de riesgo

• Break-even variability: performance may slip beyond 10 months if sales trend closer to $12,600/month
• Margin sensitivity: profit range ($4,512–$10,092) suggests costs (ingredients, labor, energy) could quickly compress margins
• Local competition pressure: 113 nearby competitors increases the need for differentiation and strong repeat customers
• Seasonality risk in Mérida: foot traffic and discretionary spending can fluctuate, impacting revenue within the given band

1. Validate demand near high-foot-traffic areas in Mérida with 2-week menu testing and price experiments
2. Build a differentiation hook (signature Mérida/Campeche-style items or a unique combo/meal deal) and optimize the menu for speed during peak hours
3. Set cost controls targeting the profit band by negotiating supplier prices and standardizing portions/recipes
4. Launch with a local loyalty program (digital punches/WhatsApp ordering) to drive repeat visits and stabilize monthly revenue
5. Track daily KPIs (tickets per hour, average order value, food cost %, labor hours) to forecast break-even monthly
6. Plan a 90-day marketing calendar with partnerships (gyms, offices, neighborhoods) and weekend event catering to smooth seasonality
