San Antonio market context

Real estate + rental framework

Median 1BR rent: $1,150. Texas landlord-friendly framework applies. Bexar County property taxes run about 2.3% effective. Military BAH (Basic Allowance for Housing) rates set a floor for near-base rentals. Savvy operators pin pricing to BAH.

Economy + tax load

Median household income: $56,600. Top industries: military and defense, healthcare, biotech, tourism (River Walk plus Alamo economy). No state income tax. Sales tax 6.25% plus 2% local. Small business licensing is straightforward at the city level.

Regulatory notes

Texas Property Code baseline. San Antonio's business licensing is centralized and generally fast. TCEQ requirements for water-related trades (irrigation, well service, pool service).

Climate + seasonality

Hot summers (Jun-Sep, 95-105°F common), mild winters. AC service is critical for six months a year. Pest activity is 12-month. Landscape and pool service are year-round rhythms.

Local flavor

Alamo Heights, Stone Oak, near-base neighborhoods around JBSA. Each has different tenant expectations. New builds on the far north side rent very differently than downtown lofts.

What it does

Meal prep delivery is a production kitchen with a route schedule. This workbook costs each recipe to the ingredient, holds a client order tracker with dietary restrictions, plans production batching so Sunday morning is efficient, and lays out a delivery route by neighborhood. Monthly P&L separates food cost from delivery cost from labor.
