Facteurs de risque

• Revenue downside risk: monthly revenue variability ($12,600 to $21,600) could stretch the 5–10 month break-even window.
• Profit margin volatility: profit range ($4,512 to $10,092) suggests fixed costs and ingredient/labor swings can materially impact margins.
• Competitive saturation: 100 competitors nearby increases pricing pressure and limits achievable share without a clear niche.
• Seasonality demand risk common to street-food operations could reduce monthly sales below break-even assumptions for several months.

Plan d’exécution

1. Pick a defensible niche menu (e.g., local comfort food or a signature national cuisine) and optimize for fast throughput in high-footfall Charleroi spots.
2. Secure a repeatable operating cadence: map 3–5 weekly pitch locations/events with historic demand and negotiate clear vending terms.
3. Build a margin-first menu costing system to protect the $4,512–$10,092 profit target despite ingredient price changes.
4. Launch with an SEO-led local presence (Charleroi food truck pages, Google Business Profile, weekly schedule posts) to capture intent-driven searches.
5. Track daily KPIs (covers, average ticket, labor hours per service) to forecast break-even monthly and adjust pricing/portioning quickly.
6. Create partnerships with venues and markets for consistent demand to reduce reliance on ad hoc foot traffic.
