Hot Dog Carts - Starting a Concession Business

Hot dog carts have an established history and have a few people very rich. A familiar example of this type of entrepreneurship is the Carl's Jr. restaurant chain. Started in 1941, Carl N. Karcher and his wife Margaret built this fast food chain with the purchase of a singe dog cart. The Karcher's went from starting a business on the borrowed money to set up the # 4 fast food empire in the United States.

Items to consider for your Hot Dog Business

Cart Selection: If you do not seed it is important to keep your initial investment in the shopping cart as low as possible. Make sure you have options to both the local health code requirements and the desired product in mind that you serve. However, not invest in expensive and unnecessary or useless options. An example would be an attached grill. While this is a nice option in some areas, like Chicago in other areas such as Miami sellers are not allowed outside grill according to health department regulations. Therefore, an attached grill would just be wasting money that could start for other items such as inventory that could actually make a profit.

Location: Assessment of local laws pertaining to outdoor or open air vending. Some jurisdictions prohibit the practice entirely except during special events such as carnivals and farmers markets. Others are less strict regarding the operation, but require that you not set the same place for more than a certain amount of time, with or without the landowners permission. These rules vary greatly from 30 minutes to 30 days. Sometimes the regulations imposed by local ordinance, other times by state or county law.

Franchise: Consider a franchise operation as you have no experience in the foodservice industry. While this may be an expensive method to work, they have an interest in your success and have often done much of the research for you regarding laws and regulations. Often they will also have operational training. However, note that while this may make it easier for you to start they will have a piece of every dollar you deserve to get. Another point is that you can be seriously limited to how you operate your cart and the choice of food offered to the color of the clothes you wear during office hours. Contact an attorney before signing a franchise agreement.

Owning a hot dog cart business puts you in a position of unlimited growth in the foodservice industry with a minimal investment. You will be providing a product that only seems to grow in demand and has a great profit margin. As long as you do your homework first, have a solid plan in place, and are willing to work hard, it is possible to buy a hot dog cart into a full-scale food service operation in a short time.
