The new proposed location
At the ground floor of Allure.
200 West Sahara Avenue, Las Vegas, NV 89102. The lease flyer identifies ground-floor retail at the Allure high-rise, west of the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Sahara Avenue.
Suite 100 · 3,180 SF
The flyer describes a fully built-out, second-generation convenience store. This is the proposed starting point for evaluating the combined CafePrenuer and Sage Bear Marketplace concept.
Planning status: proposed location, based on the supplied Allure lease flyer. Lease terms, availability, café use, equipment, and opening plans remain to be confirmed. No opening date or operating hours have been announced.
Resident demand planning
Planning around 514 residents.
514 is the selected planning assumption, not a verified resident count. It approximates 428 units × 80% occupancy × 1.5 residents per occupied unit. The published unit count is 428; occupancy and household size remain unverified. Source for unit count: Allure on Apartments.com ↗
514assumed residents
$120.13monthly spend per resident at 100% participation
$4.00daily spend per resident over 30 days
115daily transactions at an $18 average ticket
| Resident participation assumption | Active resident shoppers | Required monthly spending per active shopper |
|---|---|---|
| 100% | About 514 | $120.13 |
| 75% | About 386 | $160.17 |
| 50% | About 257 | $240.25 |
Resident-only break-even illustration: these figures allocate the entire $61,744 monthly sales requirement to residents. They are required spending levels, not predicted purchases. Visitors and outside customers would reduce the amount residents must supply. Transactions do not equal unique shoppers, and resident spending may be shared within households. Validate participation, average ticket, and frequency through resident feedback before launch.
Additional potential sales channels
DoorDash & Uber Eats.
Reach beyond the building.
Proposed delivery channels for CafePrenuer breakfast bundles, coffee-and-pastry combinations, and suitable grab-and-go meals. Nearby residents, workplaces, and hotel guests may be reachable, subject to delivery coverage and building access. Accounts are not confirmed active, and order volumes below are scenarios—not platform forecasts or guaranteed demand.
DoorDash
Potential café delivery and pickup channel. DoorDash publishes restaurant delivery commissions of 15%, 25%, or 30%, depending on plan.
Official DoorDash merchant pricing ↗Uber Eats
Potential additional café delivery channel. Marketplace fees depend on the plan, order type, and merchant agreement; this model uses a 25% commission allowance, with 30% sensitivity below.
Official Uber Eats merchant pricing ↗Illustrative order economics: $25 food subtotal × 65% café gross margin, less 25% platform commission, 5% packaging ($1.25), and 1.5% spoilage/refund allowance leaves 33.5% contribution, or $8.38 per order, before fixed costs. No separate 3% card charge is stacked onto platform commission in this model. Ads, merchant-funded promotions, extra fees, and incremental labor are excluded and would lower contribution. At 30% commission, contribution falls to 28.5%, or $7.13 per order. Restaurant pricing may not apply to grocery/retail listings; verify separate merchant terms before adding marketplace inventory. Sources reviewed October 26, 2026.
Potential orders across both platforms · 30 selling days
| Daily DoorDash + Uber Eats orders | Monthly delivery gross sales | Contribution toward fixed costs | Remaining direct sales needed | Monthly per resident if 514 supply all direct sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 + 5 = 10 | $7,500 | $2,512 | $55,571 | $108.12 |
| 10 + 10 = 20 | $15,000 | $5,025 | $49,398 | $96.11 |
| 15 + 15 = 30 | $22,500 | $7,538 | $43,225 | $84.09 |
Combined platform volumes are incremental, distinct orders—not the same orders counted twice. Remaining direct sales = ($25,130 fixed costs − delivery contribution) ÷ 40.7%. Direct sales could come from Allure residents and outside customers. Do not add these delivery sales to the existing sales scenarios without also adding their variable costs.
What delivery changes: 10 total app orders per day could contribute about $2,513 per month and reduce required direct sales to about $55,571 (about $108 per assumed resident). Combined break-even sales would be about $63,071 including delivery—higher than the $61,744 direct-only case because delivery carries a lower contribution margin. This channel can reduce dependence on resident purchases; it does not automatically lower total break-even sales.
Start with a narrow menu
Test café bundles that travel well; cost each item, packaging, and commission before listing. Avoid assuming grocery items achieve café margins.
Fit existing staffing
Use a clearly marked pickup area and limit app hours to staffed service periods. Recalculate the budget if orders require more labor.
Measure incremental profit
Track app orders, average subtotal, refunds, packaging, fees, and contribution weekly. Count app orders from Allure residents once in customer and channel totals.
Las Vegas daily sales • sourced examples
What local cafés and
convenience stores report.
A reliable Las Vegas citywide average for daily sales or net earnings was not found in the reviewed public sources. These are individual seller-reported examples—not representative averages, audited results, or forecasts for Allure. Figures below are gross sales, not take-home profit.
~$769/day
Coffee shop & café example
A west Las Vegas listing reports $240,000 annual gross revenue and a Tuesday–Sunday schedule. Calculation: $240,000 ÷ 312 assumed open days (6 × 52) ≈ $769 per open day; holidays are not accounted for. Calendar-day equivalent: about $658 ($240,000 ÷ 365).
$1,000–$2,000/day
Convenience store example
A Las Vegas listing reports $1,000–$1,600 daily in winter and $1,800–$2,000 in summer. It also advertises separate gaming income; gaming is excluded from this comparison. Product mix and traffic differ from an Allure resident-focused market.
$2,058/day
Our modeled break-even
CafePrenuer + Sage Bear Marketplace together need approximately $61,744 monthly sales over 30 selling days at a 40.7% contribution margin to cover $25,130 monthly fixed costs. Includes $8,000 manager salary and $6,000 hourly wages.
How to use these figures: do not add the café and convenience-store examples into a combined Allure forecast. They serve different customers, and Allure demand remains unmeasured. Both listing publishers state the seller information is not independently verified; the café listing does not disclose SDE or EBITDA. Neither source establishes average daily net profit.

~$61,744monthly operating break-even sales
Where the opening funds go
| One-time use | Budget | Scope / assumption |
|---|---|---|
| Lease deposits & first month | $10,000 | First month plus deposits allowance; final lease terms must fit this cap |
| Design, permits & professional fees | $6,000 | Limited design and required approvals; quotes pending |
| Light renovation & café counter | $12,000 | Cosmetic refresh and simple café counter; reuse existing layout |
| Coffee & light-food equipment | $12,000 | Used or refurbished coffee equipment; limited light-food menu |
| Refrigeration & market fixtures | $8,000 | Reuse serviceable existing coolers and shelving; allowance for gaps only |
| Furniture, signs & smallwares | $3,000 | Basic seating, essential signs and service supplies |
| POS, security & network setup | $3,000 | Essential checkout, security and connectivity only |
| Opening grocery & café inventory | $10,000 | Focused opening assortment; replenish from actual sales |
| Preopening payroll & training | $4,000 | Short preopening training period; not a full month of staffing |
| Opening marketing | $1,000 | Resident-focused soft launch |
| Buildout & equipment contingency | $6,000 | One-time opening overrun allowance; separate from working capital |
| Opening subtotal | $75,000 | Includes $6,000 contingency |
| Working-capital reserve | $50,000 | About 2.0 months of fixed costs with no sales; inventory purchases also draw cash |
| Total funding target | $125,000 | All-in cash plan; no uncommitted financing assumed outside this total |
What makes $125,000 possible: retain usable existing fixtures, buy inspected used/refurbished equipment, open with a limited coffee/pastry and grocery assortment, and defer decorative upgrades and expanded food preparation. Existing fixtures are not confirmed as included in the lease. If the premises need major refrigeration replacement, plumbing, electrical, hood, or kitchen work, this plan must be re-scoped before commitment. Required approvals remain part of the launch.
Cash runway: $50,000 ÷ $25,130 is about 2.0 months of fixed costs with no sales, before inventory cash needs. Manager salary stays at $8,000 per month and hourly wages at $6,000. Reducing startup spending does not lower the approximately $61,744 monthly sales needed to break even. The $4,000 preopening payroll allowance assumes a short paid training period; starting the manager earlier requires a revised allocation.
Monthly operating budget
Planning case: 30 selling days per month, a salaried working manager, and a limited-service café with coffee, pastries, and light food. The working manager covers checkout, coffee service, ordering, and scheduling; hourly staff cover peak periods and relief. Hours and staffing coverage must fit the $6,000 hourly wage allowance before committing to the lease.
| Fixed expense | Monthly | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Base rent | $3,180 | 3,180 SF × $1.00/SF/month planning assumption |
| CAM / NNN allowance | $1,200 | Unquoted allowance; verify what the lease includes |
| Wages & manager compensation | $14,000 | $8,000 manager salary + $6,000 hourly wages |
| Employer payroll burden | $2,050 | Planning allowance adjusted for reduced hourly wages; payroll and benefit quotes pending |
| Utilities & internet | $1,800 | Electric, water, service and connectivity allowance |
| Insurance | $650 | Quote pending |
| POS & software subscriptions | $350 | Excludes card-processing percentage below |
| Resident marketing | $500 | Ongoing local and resident outreach |
| Cleaning, waste & pest control | $600 | Recurring services allowance |
| Repairs & maintenance | $400 | Equipment and premises upkeep |
| Bookkeeping & administration | $400 | Recurring support allowance |
| Total fixed operating costs | $25,130 | Before inventory replenishment and other sales-linked costs below |
Lease basis: updated to the requested planning rate of $1.00 per SF per month: 3,180 SF × $1.00 = $3,180 base rent. The separate $1,200 CAM/NNN allowance brings modeled occupancy to $4,380 per month. This is a planning assumption, not a confirmed landlord quote. Base rent is below the earlier $4,000 target; total occupancy is $380 above it. The opening lease allowance is capped at $10,000; confirm deposits and first-month charges before signing.
Inventory, margins & break-even
Sales-linked assumptions
Café: 40% of sales at 65% gross margin. Marketplace: 60% at 32% gross margin. Blended cost of goods: 54.8% of sales, including inventory replenishment.
Allow another 3% of total sales for card processing and 1.5% for spoilage/shrink beyond cost of goods. Remaining contribution margin: 40.7%.
The sales needed to cover operations
$25,130 ÷ 40.7% = about $61,744 per month, or about $2,058 per day over 30 days.
At an illustrative $18 blended ticket, this requires roughly 115 transactions per day. At 26 selling days, plan for about $2,375 per day and 132 transactions. Resident demand has not yet been measured.
| Monthly sales scenario | Variable costs · 59.3% | Fixed costs | Operating surplus / (loss) |
|---|---|---|---|
| $50,000 | $29,650 | $25,130 | ($4,780) |
| $75,000 | $44,475 | $25,130 | $5,395 |
| $100,000 | $59,300 | $25,130 | $15,570 |
These are sensitivity cases, not forecasts. Surplus includes the modeled manager compensation but excludes debt service, income tax, depreciation, and future capital purchases. Sales exclude sales tax collected. Each additional $1,000 of monthly debt service or fixed cost requires about $2,457 more monthly sales at this margin.
How to fund and release the budget
1. Validate the space
Confirm rent, existing equipment, café use, resident access, and contractor scope before making nonrefundable commitments. Major kitchen, hood, grease, or electrical upgrades are outside this light-buildout model.
2. Fund opening costs
Plan for $75,000 across owner equity, investor capital, equipment financing, or landlord improvements. All sources remain uncommitted. Any equipment loan must fit inside this total; its repayments must be added to monthly costs. Confirmed landlord allowances can reduce cash required.
3. Protect operating cash
Keep $50,000 separate from construction spending. Track cash weekly, reorder inventory from actual sales, and revise the reserve after lease, supplier, staffing, and financing terms are known.
Resident-first feasibility check: survey Allure residents and validate expected repeat purchases against the 115-transaction daily break-even case. If resident demand cannot support it, reduce space, staffing, inventory, or fixed costs before launch. The resident-demand illustration uses 514 assumed residents; occupancy, resident count, and shopping participation still require validation.
