Factores de riesgo

Profit volatility: monthly profit swings from -$1394 to $1396, signaling unstable demand or margins
Long/uncertain payback: break-even spans 26 to 999 months, increasing likelihood of cash-flow stress
High local competition density: 386 nearby competitors can pressure pricing and reduce repeat purchases
Margin pressure in a moderate GDP/capita market: GDP/capita of $5580 may cap discretionary spend on treats
Revenue range risk: monthly revenue ($6300 to $10800) implies thin buffers for rent, utilities, and staffing

Plan de ejecución

Run a 4-week local demand test in high-footfall hours with limited SKUs to validate conversion and average ticket size in San Salvador
Redesign the menu around margin-positive products (signature gelato, combos, kid portions) and standardize portion sizes to reduce waste
Implement dynamic promotions tied to weather/events (sunny-day deals, school/holiday bundles) and track lift by daypart
Optimize unit economics: reprice for contribution margin, renegotiate ingredient supply, and tighten labor scheduling to actual sales
Launch loyalty + referral offers (stamp card/appless SMS) to build repeat visits beyond one-time tourist/spike demand
Set a cash-flow control cadence: weekly KPI review (gross margin, labor % of sales, waste %) and trigger cost cuts if profit trends negative
