Hot Dog Food Vending
Being a food vendor means supplying locals food in a cart or kiosk and making money. A self made business, this isn't like a nine to five job, as a food vending is about being around during food times to sell while having plenty of off time. In a tough economy, the hardest thing to figure out is where to pick up more cash to supplement your life, trying a vendor cart may be a good choice for where you live. Here's decide.
Instructions
1. It is important to determine if the area you live in will support a food vendor. Take a look around your neighborhood or area to see if other vendors are in the area and how much business they have during the day (it is suggested you just stop by and ask.)
2. Next, you need to find out the health department supports vend opportunities and the requirements for a cart or kiosk. Usually you will find free classes and certification as this government agency helps vendors. This needs to be done before you even decide what you might sell.
3. The city and state you live in also will have requirements for your business, so you should check to see what type of licenses and permits might be needed to vend at any location.
4. Insurance is an important issue to decide before you venture into being a vendor. It, sometimes, can be easy, but as a new business the premiums can be exceptionally expensive. Contact your agent to see what can be arranged for your possible business.
5. Next you need to decide what you are going to be selling. There are a number of great opportunities to decide for being a vendor. The more popular is becoming a hot dog vendor, however lots of people prefer the higher margins of coffee cart vending. Other vending opportunities include Mexican food, hot dog food and even snacks (prepared and sealed chips, candies and soda.)
6. Once you have determined the type of food to vend, you need to find the equipment to go with it. A hot dog vendor needs a cart and several other vending positions needs carts or kiosks. A larger vendor may choose to actually have a vendor truck or rig. And the smaller vendors may just try vending and see what happens with a simple table and tablecloth.
