The trade-off

A coffee shop trades higher fixed rent + build-out for a predictable weekday morning rush and a loyal recurring base. A food truck trades vehicle capex + route hustle for radical mobility and lower breakeven. Coffee wins on lifetime value; the truck wins on cashflow speed and pivot-ability.
