Facteurs de risque

• Profit volatility: monthly profit ranges from -$1,394 to $1,396
• Very long break-even upside/downside spread: 26 to 999 months
• Revenue may not reliably cover fixed costs at the low end ($6,300/month)
• High competitive intensity: 500 nearby competitors increases customer acquisition cost and pricing pressure
• Cash-flow risk for brick-and-mortar: negative months are likely given the profit range

Plan d’exécution

1. Validate pricing and capacity with a 2–4 week test (daily footfall, conversion, average ticket) in Villeurbanne
2. Reduce break-even risk by cutting fixed costs first (rent negotiation, staffing hours aligned to demand, energy savings)
3. Increase revenue per visit using “salon de glaces” bundles (treat + topping + drink) and loyalty offers tied to repeat visits
4. Differentiate through limited editions and local partnerships (schools, events, nearby brands) to improve off-peak demand
5. Implement tight inventory and waste controls (portioning, forecasted production, discounts on near-expiry items)
6. Track weekly KPIs (gross margin %, waste %, labor % of sales, repeat rate) and adjust within 30 days
