Show formulas, assumptions and basis
Revenue = units × unit revenue. Variable cost = units × unit variable cost. Acquisition spend = modeled monthly new customers × acquisition cost per new customer.
Depreciation = startup cost × 58% depreciable share ÷ 48 months. It reduces modeled owner surplus and is added back to operating cash flow. Working-capital change = incremental variable cost × 12%.
Operating cash flow = modeled owner surplus + depreciation − working-capital change. The 18% tax reserve applies only when pre-tax surplus is positive.
Current assumption basis: Synthetic food-business default reflecting equipment life, opening inventory and waste exposure. No supplier quote, tax schedule or industry benchmark is connected.

Licenses and operating requirements
- Washington State business registration
- Food worker card and local health approval
- Allergen, labeling and food-safety controls
Primary failure factors
- Order density is too low to cover production and delivery
- Waste or spoilage exceeds the scenario allowance
- Food-safety or labeling controls fail
CATEGORY-SPECIFIC ACTION PLAN
Interview target buyers, test ingredient and allergen expectations, and obtain kitchen, packaging and delivery quotes before committing to premises.
Run a prepaid small-batch pilot; record order density, waste, food-safety steps and contribution margin for every production day.
Scale only after repeat purchase, waste and delivery density meet the category-specific thresholds used in the revised model.
