The idea of being an entrepreneur sounds interesting. Starting small is usually the way to go. Should I begin with a burger/hot dog stand with a grill or invest in a small trailer with the two and include sandwiches and wraps?

Helpful tips from VERY new owner to hot dog vending business! Do Not Buy a cart until you do your research with
1.county health dept. mobile food vending dept.
2.City licensing.
I made the mistake of purchasing my 1st cart only to find out it would be $$$ to get it to pass health and city guidelines. Have a new cart that's ready to go. DO YOUR RESEARCH ON THE 2 AREAS 1ST!!

20. Cynthia on 9/27/2009 10:58:43 PM

When ready to purchase your cart make yourself a checklist from any health or city guidelines needed to pass inspections & licensing to operate. You can purchase from private parties for as little as $500 or established vendors for up to $5000.

21. Maxine on 10/17/2009 6:03:13 AM

32. Al on 2/13/2010 5:51:59 PM

I have a situation in a southern city where a long time hot dog store owner is retiring. He is interested is selling to me and wants me to propose a figure. This is a stand up indoor store with room for maybe 10 customers. It is busy for about 3 hours a day but fairly steady from opening at 10:30 am to closing around 6 pm. He says he does about 800 a day in gross sales. Store is now open almost every day of the year. So figure 350 days and a gross of 280K. Costs average (per current owner) around 125K a year but that includes the owner being there every day almost the entire day. I don't want those kinds of hours so I am adding another 50k to costs for wages. Is this even feasible? And if so at what purchase price?

elizabeth nj. hot dog truck vending equipment requirement

34. Gary R on 4/1/2010 3:15:26 PM

www.hotdogprofits.com THAT is the place to get your training. He will even sell you the plans to make your own cart that will pass most inspections. As for the licensing thing...YES...do your homework. Where I live, most every county and city won't allow a cart because of all the politics surrounding the competition it gives restaurants. Funny how that works....a hot dog cart isn't considered a full restaurant (that can open anywhere!) but it is considered competition for them....lol! Love it!
