Facteurs de risque

• Break-even sensitivity: profitability targets require consistent sales to hit the 5–10 month window
• Margin compression risk: monthly profit can swing widely ($4,512 to $10,092), indicating exposure to cost or demand changes
• Revenue volatility: monthly revenue varies from $12,600 to $21,600, which can strain cash flow during slower months
• Competitive pressure: ~500 nearby competitors can drive price competition and reduce repeat visits

Plan d’exécution

1. Select high-footfall Bordeaux locations and rotate schedules to maximize peak-time sales while limiting setup/servicing friction
2. Lock a Bordeaux-friendly menu with 6–10 fast-moving items to raise average ticket size and reduce service time
3. Implement cost controls (portioning, vendor contracts, waste tracking) to protect the lower bound of profit ($4,512/month)
4. Develop local SEO + Google Business Profile pages for each serving point (and “food truck Bordeaux” intent) to capture nearby demand
5. Run pre-launch sampling and partnerships with nearby events/venues to stabilize the $12,600–$21,600 revenue range from month one
6. Track daily KPIs (orders/hour, COGS %, labor time, gross margin) and revise staffing and prep recipes weekly to stay on the 5–10 month break-even path
