What to look at on the map

- 👣Foot-traffic proxy
Walk-in foot traffic AT MEAL TIMES specifically.
- 🏠Residential density (500m)
Delivery range typically 2-3km — surrounding flats = orders.

- 👀Street visibility
Signage + window visibility critical for impulse stop.

Investment outlook
Before you commit, here's the real-world cost picture for a fast food / takeaway:
Common rookie mistakes
The mistakes that sink first-time fast food / takeaway owners aren't the ones you read about in startup blogs. The recurring ones are:
- ⚠Ignoring delivery platform commissions (Uber Eats / Meituan take 20-30%)
- ⚠Picking residential streets with no walk-in — delivery alone rarely covers rent
- ⚠Underestimating equipment costs (fryer, freezer, POS, hood) for compliance
