Facteurs de risque

• Wide profit swing ($-1448 to $3232) suggests unstable demand and/or cost control
• Extremely long break-even range (16 to 999 months) signals a high likelihood of prolonged losses
• Low GDP/capita ($1773) can constrain discretionary spend on café items and margins
• Potential underutilization of brick-and-mortar fixed costs despite moderate revenue ($10080 to $17280)

Plan d’exécution

1. Validate local demand in Diourbel with a 2–3 week soft launch and daily sales tracking by item category
2. Tighten margins by optimizing menu engineering (best sellers, smaller portions, targeted bundles for coffee + snack)
3. Reduce break-even risk with cost controls (lease negotiation, energy/waste monitoring, lean staffing schedules)
4. Increase frequency through daily offers (breakfast combos, weekday promotions, loyalty stamps) and reliable in-store signage
5. Differentiate with locally relevant products (savory bites, seasonal items) and limited-time specials tied to local buying patterns
6. Build conversion channels by adding pickup/takeaway workflows and simple pre-order options to smooth peak/off-peak demand
