Facteurs de risque

• Long and uncertain break-even (11 to 57 months) depending on sales ramp
• High revenue variability ($17,640 to $30,240) could pressure monthly margins
• Competitive intensity (23 nearby competitors) may cap pricing power
• Lower purchasing power signal from GDP/capita ($649) could limit premium offerings
• Profit spread is large ($2,230 to $11,680), increasing sensitivity to cost overruns

Plan d’exécution

1. Secure a prime, foot-traffic location in Lubumbashi and negotiate favorable rent terms to protect break-even timing
2. Launch with a tight menu and pricing tuned to local spending power, emphasizing high-turn fast-sellers and bundle deals
3. Build reliable supplier relationships for inventory stability and cost control to avoid margin swings
4. Drive repeat visits using weekly promos, local-event partnerships, and a simple loyalty system
5. Implement daily cash-flow tracking (sales, inventory, labor) and review KPIs weekly to adjust staffing and promotions
6. Plan a 90-day ramp target to reduce the upper break-even risk and ensure consistent throughput
