Your Competitor Just Opened Next Door. Can You Survive 30 Days?

For twenty years your shawarma and grill takeaway has fed this street. About 1,500 meals a week, regulars who don’t need to order out loud, roughly $2,600 profit in a normal week. On Monday a national chain, Flame Box, opened next door with $6.90 meals, a huge ad budget and a head office willing to lose money for a while. They react to what you do. A reflexive price war plays to their strengths; there are other ways to fight.

How it plays

  1. Week 1 · They opened — Answer the chain
  2. Week 2 · They push — People, neighbors and the menu
  3. Week 3 · Escalation — Find the business they can’t reach
  4. Week 4 · Head office — The end of their launch month

After the debrief, “Keep going — 3 more months” continues the run with calendar events, new challenges and opportunities that build on what you chose earlier. Every decision page has a live preview that shows what your picks do to the numbers before you lock them in.

What you get at the end

A debrief with your outcome, charts of where the money went, your biggest mistake and roughly what it cost, and a full report you can copy or save as a PDF. Everything runs in your browser: no sign-up, nothing to install.
