जोखिम कारक

• Competitive density: ~500 competitors nearby may compress pricing and repeat purchases
• Revenue volatility: $12,600–$21,600 range implies demand swings that can delay payback within the 5–10 month window
• Margin exposure: profit varies widely ($4,512–$10,092), indicating high sensitivity to ingredient and labor costs
• Lower purchasing power: GDP/capita of $1,447 may limit premium menu pricing
• Brick-and-mortar mismatch risk: switching from a truck-style model to a fixed location can raise rent and overhead, stressing the break-even timeline

कार्ययोजना

1. Choose 2–3 high-repeat local menu heroes (e.g., momo/quick street staples) and build bundles for predictable average order value
2. Select a high-footfall Kathmandu zone near offices and tourist flows, then run 2–3 weeks of weekend-heavy pilot pricing and service-time testing
3. Implement strict food cost targets and daily portion controls to protect the profit band ($4,512–$10,092)
4. Create a weekly schedule with event-based spikes (college, office lunch hours, seasonal festivals) to stabilize monthly revenue
5. Set a pre-order + queue management system (QR menu, limited-time combos) to reduce wait times and increase throughput
6. Track unit economics weekly (orders, COGS %, labor %, contribution margin) and adjust menu mix monthly toward the highest margin items
