The Most Important Factors for an Asian Fusion Restaurant in Baltimore

The strongest predictor of whether this business survives two years is the quality of the location you pick — Survivability Score quantifies exactly that. Revenue Capture Score is the single best indicator of whether a business will thrive at a location. 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. Our data shows that businesses in moderately competitive clusters survive longer than isolated storefronts on average. Our proprietary models incorporate data sources not available through any public platform.

Consideration	Common pitfall	What to verify before signing
Outdoor seating / sidewalk use	Signing assuming you can add patio seating, then learning the city requires a separate sidewalk-cafe permit with long lead times.	Check the city's sidewalk-cafe permit process up front. Confirm landlord allows outdoor build-out in the lease language.
Competitor density	Counting only direct competitors and missing adjacent-category overlap (e.g. coffee shop near a bakery).	Map all businesses serving overlapping customer needs within a 5-min walk. Use StreetSpring's competitor view as a starting point.
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.

This can be summarized as:

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