A linked reference can support scope without confirming an exact forecast. Assumption entries identify values that still require local validation. Each field path identifies an input in the common business record.
- Model assumption
StartFigures selected the opening range, deposits, opening inputs, contingency and reserve for one fixed-location scenario. SBA supports separating one-time and recurring costs; FDA supports checking the applicable food-establishment rules. Neither source supplies these dollar amounts. Replace them with the lease, authority fees, launch schedule and dated cash plan.

- Model assumption
The leasehold, counter, POS, furniture and signage allocations are authored project allowances. They require landlord documents, design, contractor, technology and authority quotes for the actual premises.
capital.items.0.amount · capital.items.3.amount
- Model assumption
Current vendor listings establish examples of commercial blenders, juicers, refrigeration and ice equipment and their individual prices on the access date. StartFigures authored the larger package allowances; quantity, sizing, used/new mix, freight, tax, filtration, utilities, commissioning, warewashing, small equipment and service coverage remain unquoted.
capital.items.1.amount · capital.items.2.amount
- Model assumption
Every annual value is an authored scenario. Year-three revenue is exactly 150 orders × $15.75 × 6 days × 52 weeks. Cost of sales applies a selected 36% variable-cost envelope. Payroll and overhead are authored schedules informed by national wage, employer-tax, waste-control, payment-cost and food-service context; none of those references verifies this location's sales or expenses.

- Model assumption
The order price, volume, schedule, ranges and ramp are StartFigures planning inputs for the defined operation. National classification and food-spending context do not establish one shop's ticket, throughput, seasonality or launch curve. Validate them with a local menu, capacity test and ordinary-day paid orders.

- Model assumption
The $34,167 mature monthly fixed-cost input equals the rounded year-three payroll and occupancy/other forecast divided by 12. The 64% contribution margin is one minus the selected 36% sales-linked cost envelope. National wages, retail produce-yield context, waste-assessment guidance and posted processor pricing inform what to validate but do not verify the selected shares.
