The first step was conducting thorough market research. We wanted to understand the demand for Brazilian street food and the potential benefits from competition with local offerings. Once we had a fair grasp of the market, we started developing our menus. We spent time refining recipes and testing them on a small scale, seeking input from Brazilian friends and family. This helped us build confidence in the quality and uniqueness of our offerings.
