The plan of the food delivery company as described above directly assumes all of the following EXCEPT:

The demand for food delivery service in the new cities will increase in future

Expanding into markets will compensate for any new expenses the company incurs

In the new cities, the company will be able to deliver food faster than the food delivery companies existing in those cities

The company can find enough number of partner-restaurants in the new cities to earn more than what is needed to meet the fixed expenses it has to earn
