What Should I Consider When Opening an Indonesian Restaurant in or Around Charlotte?

Choosing the right storefront is what separates the businesses that survive from the ones that don't. Use Survivability Score as the primary filter before anything else. 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 analysis covers businesses serving the 24 largest metros in America. Competition density is not inherently negative — it often signals an established customer base. The prediction engine behind these rankings is entirely proprietary — developed in-house over years of research.

Consideration	Common pitfall	What to verify before signing
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.
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.
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
