Ouvrir un Salon de Glaces à Kananga — est-ce rentable ?

Résumé

With a 30/100 viability score placing you in a low bucket, the current unit economics look fragile: monthly profit ranges from -$1,394 to $1,396 and the break-even window is extremely wide (26 to 999 months). Even with revenue of $6,300 to $10,800 and 12 nearby competitors, profitability will likely depend on improving margins and driving higher, more consistent foot traffic in Kananga.
