Facteurs de risque

• Long and highly variable break-even timeline (16–999 months)
• Negative profit risk of up to -$1,448/month
• Revenue sensitivity in a competitive area (500 nearby competitors)
• Lower purchasing power context (GDP/capita $7,576) limiting premium pricing

Plan d’exécution

1. Validate demand with a 2-week menu test and targeted foot-traffic mapping around the most likely customer zones in Chisinau
2. Redesign the menu to raise gross margin (fewer SKUs, standardized recipes, focus on high-margin coffee + pastries)
3. Implement tight cost controls: ingredient yield tracking, labor scheduling to sales-by-hour, and renegotiate lease/utility terms where possible
4. Differentiate locally with a Chisinau-focused offering (seasonal items, local roasts, bilingual signage, loyalty program) to compete against 500 nearby options
5. Pre-sell and smooth cashflow via corporate breakfasts, office catering routes, and weekend packages to stabilize monthly profit
