कार्ययोजना

1. Validate demand with a 2-4 week pilot (limited menu, daily specials) near the most relevant foot-traffic spots in Colombo
2. Design a margin-first menu (best-seller engineering) and cap COGS via supplier benchmarking for coffee, milk, and bakery items
3. Implement pricing and bundles (breakfast combo, workday deals) to lift average ticket without risking churn
4. Run weekly promotions tied to local commuter/office hours and collect repeat-customer data for retention offers
5. Tightly control labor and operating hours to reduce fixed costs during low-traffic periods
6. Set a target path to breakeven (weekly targets for covers, ticket size, and contribution margin) and review after 30 days
