wtf money idea #23
I want to buy a hotdog cart and sell hotdogs in our town square my off nights Thurs-Sat. There is a great bar scene and lots of drunks staggering from one bar to another. Work from maybe 9pm-3am.
Any thoughts on this? I'm on a nights schedual anyways, and my off nights are the nights the bars are busy. I looked into carts, and they are from $2000-4000 bucks. Am I crazy? The extra cash flow would be great with everything getting worse and worse economically.

As far as I know, you have to have a permit($25) and have to fill out some stuff for tax purposes and then boom, have at it. you can get a ton of 'dogs for cheap... and buns. as long as the condiments are good, people usually can't tell a la-ti-da hot dog from a cheaper by the 1000 hotdog. Throw some chili and shredded cheese on there, and there is no way in hell of telling what kind of dog it is. I learned this in highschool working at Dairy Queen. The owners tried many different types of 'dogs, but the sales never changed from the expensive ones to the el-cheapo specials.

biggest expensive other than the cart would be the food and utensil stuff itself, dogs, brats, chili, buns, all the condiments, soda, beer, water, napkins, plates, bowls, utensils and whatever else you would sell/buy. Selling beer would require a liquor license, it'll cost some money but in return you could make more money... especially if you run a good deal on it and sort of compete with the prices in the bars. $1 for a 12oz cup or something. or a dog and a beer for $4. shit like that.
when you buy the cart make sure thats it's been FDA inspected and is ready to go with just a permit, the permit is only a couple of bucks here in florida, not sure about your location. You would also have to call town square and find out who the landlord is or who you have to talk to about possibly paying rent. Even though it's just a small hotdog cart you will still have to pay some sort of rent to someone for the space you are taking up and making money off of. yeah i've been thinking about similar ideas.

here my bar/restaurant has a taco cart
Really good tacos 3 for $5 or 1 for $2 I used to work it alittle bit a friday night you make 60-80 in tips (assholes) Boss made the cart, and it is very cheap... the bitch was getting the sink installed because thats food code stuff. we would go through ~150 tacos a night. really good profit decnt amount of prep work however cutting the veggies and "bombing" (putting the meat in the tortilla and toothpicking it, so you can just fry it up as is) |

When they put their paws on the fence, it means take them from the rear.

it is within walking distance... and I think I'm going to give it a shot. I've wanted to get into a business for a long time, and this is the baby business that won't make me bankrupt if it turns into a nightmare.
That cart is ok, but I need one with a sink to get by the health codes... I could walk it to the square, but it's about a ten minute walk. Maybe I could stick a hitch on my impala?

Honestly I think of the "line" of bars down on the southside of my town, especially with Thanksgiving coming up ... and I think you might be best served during the spring/summer/early fall. |

George Carlin was a modern day philosopher. He brought light to things that others tried to keep in the shadows. He made us see the obvious and laugh at our own stupidity. He was the cold hard truth in a world of lies and bullshit.
