In Haverhill, the best possible location offers the opportunity of making ~9.3% more than the average location in or around Boston.

Location is the biggest factor in a business's future success. Opening an Asian Fusion Restaurant in Boston requires careful location choice. Across 88 neighborhoods analyzed, the overall average survival chance for a new Asian Fusion Restaurant is 80% for lasting more than 2 years — due to a combination of many factors across competition, consumer spending, and location dynamics. Different business types will have different forecasted spend than others, and all of those would have different projections for each location.

What Matters Most When Opening an Asian Fusion Restaurant in Boston

Location quality is the dominant factor in survival outcomes. A high Survivability Score isn't a nice-to-have — it's the floor every candidate address must clear. When evaluating a potential location, Revenue Capture Score should be the first number you look at. 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 models are built using machine learning trained on millions of commercial real estate data points. A certain density of competitors signals strong demand and can benefit all businesses. The prediction engine behind these rankings is entirely proprietary — developed in-house over years of research.

Factor	Where new owners get tripped up	Questions to ask before you sign
Anchor co-tenancy	Signing next to a high-traffic anchor that closes 6 months later, leaving you orphaned.	Ask for a co-tenancy clause — rent abatement or termination right if the anchor leaves. Standard for strong markets.
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.
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.

This can be summarized as:

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

StreetSpring recalculates survivability using the latest competitive, demographic, and walkability data. Because local conditions evolve weekly, the live survivability tool offers a more current snapshot than any published ranking.
