Facteurs de risque

• High sensitivity to sales volume given break-even is 5 to 10 months
• Competitor pressure (16 nearby) could cap revenue at the low end ($12,600/month)
• GDP/capita of $1,830 may limit premium pricing power and discretionary spend
• Profit variability ($4,512 to $10,092/month) suggests cost volatility (ingredients/staff/rent) risk

Plan d’exécution

1. Validate demand in Maroua with 2-3 week menu testing at prime foot-traffic sites and event venues
2. Secure reliable local ingredient supply and lock recurring pricing to protect the margin target
3. Set a tiered menu (value + core best-sellers + upsell) to capture customers despite GDP/capita constraints
4. Differentiate with 1-2 signature items and visible branding optimized for quick service and repeat visits
5. Implement tight cost controls (portioning, daily waste tracking, labor scheduling) to stabilize profit between $4,512 and $10,092
6. Choose brick-and-mortar positioning strategically (near offices/markets/schools) and run monthly promos to accelerate the 5-10 month break-even
