Facteurs de risque

• Revenue variability: $12,600 to $21,600 range implies seasonal or demand fluctuations
• Margin exposure: monthly profit drops to $4,512 at the low end, reducing buffer for cost overruns
• Break-even timing risk: 5 to 10 months means missed targets can delay profitability
• Competitive density: 500 nearby competitors can pressure pricing and reduce repeat customers
• Mode mismatch risk: brick-and-mortar in Bruxelles may increase fixed costs versus a mobile truck model

Plan d’exécution

1. Finalize the menu around high-throughput items suitable for quick service and predictable prep in Bruxelles
2. Run a 3–4 week local pricing and demand test in high-footfall locations to validate revenue assumptions ($12,600–$21,600)
3. Secure permits, kitchen compliance, and a rent/lease structure that protects flexibility within a 5–10 month break-even window
4. Build a localized customer acquisition engine: Google Business Profile, local SEO pages, and weekly food event promotions
5. Track daily KPI targets (average ticket, dwell time, waste %) to stabilize profit toward $4,512–$10,092 monthly
6. Implement cost controls (portioning, supplier contracts, and inventory forecasting) to prevent margin erosion
