• Break-even range is broad (13–80 months), indicating potential underperformance risk
• Revenue range ($31,500–$54,000/month) suggests sensitivity to demand and pricing in CDMX
• High competitive density (315 nearby competitors) can pressure margins and customer acquisition costs
• GDP/capita ($14,186) may limit discretionary spend depending on neighborhood

Plan de ejecución

1. Validate demand in your exact CDMX neighborhood with a 2-week foot-traffic and menu-price test
2. Design a tight, local-focused menu (best-sellers + controlled SKUs) to improve contribution margin
3. Set pricing and promos for repeat visits (lunchtime combos, weekday specials, delivery add-ons)
4. Track daily KPIs (cover count, average ticket, food cost %, labor %, waste) and adjust weekly
5. Differentiate with one clear hook (signature dish, local ingredients, fast service) to stand out among 315 nearby options
6. Model scenarios across the $31,500–$54,000 revenue range to target break-even closer to 13 months
