जोखिम कारक

• Demand volatility could delay break-even beyond the 10-month window
• Competition density (6 nearby) may compress margins and reduce order volume
• Pricing or cost spikes could push profit below the $4,512 minimum band
• Low GDP/capita of $2,695 may limit high-ticket menu items and increase price sensitivity
• Operational downtime/permits for brick-and-mortar setup could interrupt steady monthly sales

कार्ययोजना
