Top: **Downtown** at 89% (1 existing competitor). Bottom: **Dilworth** at 77%. The 12-point gap is the failure surface: getting the neighborhood wrong costs more than getting the address right.

What Matters Most When Opening a Filipino Restaurant in Charlotte

The strongest predictor of whether this business survives two years is the quality of the location you pick — Survivability Score quantifies exactly that. No other single metric predicts business longevity as reliably as Revenue Capture Score. StreetSpring computes this by projecting the business's market share, which is based on the quality and quantity of primary, secondary, and tertiary competitors. StreetSpring's training dataset includes millions of transactions and business lifecycle events. Areas with complementary competitors tend to generate higher overall foot traffic. 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
Parking & visibility	Storefront looks great from the sidewalk but is invisible from the road.	Drive past at 30 mph from both directions. Count street parking + nearest paid lot capacity at peak hours.
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.
Foot traffic seasonality	Looking at a peak-summer Tuesday and assuming year-round volume.	Walk the block at 3 different times across 2 different weeks. Ask neighboring tenants for their slow-season % drop.

This can be summarized as:

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