☝️ Observations & Strategic Levers
- Every $1 increase in AOV lowers the need for ~35 daily orders
- SEPs (e.g. hosting UME events, renting to therapists at night, or art collectives) can boost revenue without increasing foot traffic
- Higher AOV may include subscriptions (monthly coffee memberships), retail bundles, or add-on services (e.g., coworking table fees, wellness pop-ups)
