Break-even is simply the point where your sales cover your costs. It is the first target to aim at — this explains it in plain terms.
Picture two buckets: money that goes OUT each month (ingredients, packaging, rent, fees) and the money each sale brings IN.
Break-even is how many sales it takes to fill the OUT bucket — after that, you start keeping money.
Write your own numbers down, even roughly — a break-even you can see beats a feeling.
Watch that target as your real costs settle — trimming fixed costs moves the finish line closer.
