जोखिम कारक

• High break-even variance (6–29 months) tied to inconsistent monthly bookings
• Profit volatility (from $992 to $4,772) suggests cost overruns and weak cost control risk
• Competitive density risk with ~500 competitors nearby affecting pricing power
• Lower purchasing power environment (GDP/capita $1,447) limiting premium upsell demand

कार्ययोजना

1. Validate Kathmandu demand by mapping corporate offices, hotels, and wedding/event venues within 10–15 km and surveying 30–50 decision-makers
2. Create 3 packaged menus (budget/standard/premium) with clear per-head pricing and margin targets, then publish them on Google Business Profile and local directories
3. Secure 3–5 recurring B2B contracts (offices, NGOs, schools, co-working spaces) to stabilize weekly orders
4. Implement strict food-cost tracking (portioning, supplier price checks, weekly waste logs) to protect the $992–$4,772 profit range
5. Build a booking pipeline with deposits, capacity limits, and upsell add-ons (desserts, drinks, staffing) for faster path to the 6–12 month break-even end
6. Run targeted seasonal promotions for peak wedding/festive calendars in Kathmandu and track CAC vs. contribution margin per event
