Can break-even be calculated from four numbers?
Only as a rough screening estimate. A reliable model needs a complete fixed-cost list and a defensible contribution margin.
Does the daily target guarantee profit?
No. It is a directional floor, not a guarantee, and actual mix and costs can change it.
