जोखिम कारक

• High competitor density: competitor index 70 may pressure pricing and repeat orders
• Break-even sensitivity: 5–10 months depends on steady daily footfall and low downtime
• Profit variability: monthly profit ranges from $4,512 to $10,092, indicating margin fluctuation risk
• Lower GDP/capita ($2,695) can limit discretionary spend and force value-menu positioning
• Revenue band ($12,600–$21,600) suggests demand volatility across weeks and seasons
