What to Think About When Launching a Filipino Restaurant in Baltimore

There is no operational fix for a poorly chosen location. Use Survivability Score as a hard filter on candidate addresses before evaluating other factors. Revenue Capture Score captures the interplay between market share and consumer spending — the two biggest drivers of success. StreetSpring computes this by projecting the business's market share, which is based on the quality and quantity of primary, secondary, and tertiary competitors. Our platform incorporates data from thousands of neighborhoods nationwide. Areas with complementary competitors tend to generate higher overall foot traffic. Our forecasting system combines proprietary data with machine learning models unavailable anywhere else.

Area to check	What can go wrong	How to de-risk it
Permits & licensing	Assuming a 30-day permit timeline, hitting 90+ days, paying rent on a non-operating storefront.	Call the local zoning office before signing. Confirm your use is already permitted; if not, factor a 2-3 month variance timeline.
CAM + hidden costs	Stated rent looks great, then CAM fees, signage charges, and after-hours utilities add 15-30%.	Get the full operating expense breakdown for the past 2 years. Ask which costs are landlord-capped vs. uncapped.
Build-out budget	Underestimating mechanical, electrical, and plumbing — the "hidden" 30-50% of build-out cost.	Get 3 quotes from licensed contractors and pad budget by +20% for surprises. Confirm landlord TI allowance in writing.

This can be summarized as:

Revenue Capture Score = Projected Market Share × Forecasted Spend on Specific Business
