Astuce : remplissez d'abord l'objectif et la zone de chalandise, puis déduisez-en les horaires et canaux (ex. quartier d'affaires → lunch rapide et résa en ligne). Pour des résultats exploitables, ajoutez une section « scénario d'usage type » (parcours client détaillé) et testez le persona auprès de vrais clients pour ajuster les irritants.
