Ever walk down the street and get the urge to eat something because of the smell of that food cooking? Well that's what it takes to be successful. 1) Make sure your food smells real good. That's what attracts customers. 2) Make sure you locate your cart somewhere that has a lot of foot traffic but few stragglers. You want people to pass by your cart, smell the yummy food, buy something then keep going. You don't want a crowed of people that distract potential customers from getting to your cart.
of course you're not going to get Rich over Night ..but u can make alot of money to get u their when u have true freedom from working a boring everyday job and u don't have to answer to anyone or ask for time off....if u have you're freedom to be you're own boss than u may not be Rich but have in g Freedom can make u feel Rich and when u feel Rich theirs Nothing like it
It's not the hot dog that sells. Of course the hot dog builds repeat business and for that we are thankful. It's the cleanliness of your cart and your service that makes the difference. Cleanliness is a given, but how often to you grab lunch for $5 and have great service? When was the last time you were asked how your day was? And actually had the person care and remember how your day was the next time you visited?

Like the consistency guy .
What I find is the hardest thing ,trying to find a good pitch
I'm still looking and when I find somewhere I think maybe ok , our local council / highways don't seem to know who the roads belong to for you to get permission . I can see why people just park up but I'd like to do it right .
Everyone is so kind
Cleanliness , priority one.

One case of food poisoning could destroy your business, some people will let it go, others will create a Facebook page to bash you and stand near your business with a sign for two weeks straight.
THANK YOU
The one thing I hear consistently is a good quality product. I would love to sell a great dog like Vienna Beef or Red Hot Chicago, but seems like I am always up against folks selling Gordon's Food Service Hot dogs and buns. Cheap and disgusting but high profit. I would love to be able to do a Chicago style dog. Here in the Midwest rural communities it's rough.
Great job! Thank you for sharing...
Great video man. I appreciate the information
3:19 I had one of his dogs in RI, it was one of the best dogs I have ever had!
That's exactly who I'm trying to look up....do u know the name of his biz?
@@msbscott4277 man, been 5 years, and I STILL ain’t find that guy.
I don't get what's hard with selling hotdogs, you just find a good location, be friendly to people.
Yeah go try it. That should work with all business but 90% fail miserably in under a year.
@@oldironsides4107 Did they all find a good location and be friendly to people?
@Jesse Limit menu items, and there's always time to be friendly to people. Customers can forgive a lot if they're being treated well.
Nothing worthwhile comes easy.
If it was easy everyone would do it
I have a cart across from Duke Hospital in Durham, NC. I sell a quality dog with fresh condiments. I have my share to johnny-come-lately come and try to steal my business away. They never last even when they sell cheaper dogs at lower prices. Customers appreciate quality and my motto ism "I have the best hot dogs in town!" I would encourage you to sell the best hot dog you can at a fair price.
make a great hotdogs STAND pay a worker with minimum wage BAM NOW U ARE A TRUE ENTREPRENEUR
Drop that Loud music
Good advice because I want to get my own food truck.. thanks
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Miss you being out there!
these tips all sound like a given, what I would have like to known is? How did you make a profit and how long 1 yr, 2 yr, 5 yrs? Are you making it or just barely hanging in there after all these years? Do you make enough for health insurance, make your house payment or house rent, pay for your car, or to pay back the people that convince you to get into the hot dog business? How do you keep hot quality if food costs go up?
things like that
thanks for your RUclips site, I like it
No answers yet after seven years
@@summerfunrides 8 now lol.
If they are doing it for that many years then it must be good.
Being nice,good hot dog,location and work is a good thing
Learn from Macdonalds good taste is not guarantee if you know how sell it
good job making this
Lower the music over you as you talk, I found it distracting and couldn't hear you. Information was great!
Casey's has awesome dogs!
my background is on my hot dog stories site in the About section
Vienna beef in Chicago has some sort of training program now.
Hi! I'm starting out a hot dog business in upstate NY. Any specifications that I must follow so that my small hot dog cart meets approval? Like how many sinks it needs? Thank you! I don't know what I should buy. Using A Chevy Cobalt 2007.
How did it go?
thanks hot dog man !!!
"Customasawn'tgointaknowwhahtafindia"
lol
Meant to say "How do you keep up your Hot Dog Meat quality if your food costs go up? and lastly "When should you throw in the towel"?
I better have my tea before I go out then 😳😳😳
Everyday
are there any big franchises other than carts?, something like chilis?
No
👍
I wanna start a franchise in Mexico, but away from the stereotype of the cart hot dog, I mean many recipes, is that possible?, any ideas? recipes?
el caco Yes and the knowledge
Learn to make a Chicago hot dog.
Dogs...I like 'em !
you love dogs why did you stop after 6 years. did you make a profit if not is that why you stoped. do you have any videos you can share with us followers of the self aclaimed HOTDOGMAN when you were selling hotdogs.i enjoy your videos and the dogs you rate i love my perros to thank you
❤
Hey Hotdogman, you need to file a complaint with RUclips as someone threw some dumb*ss music in your video bro. Just looking out.

What's the best hotdog?
Tex Barry's coney island in Attleboro! They're the best dogs around!
if it isnt an all beef weiner it isnt high quality
I worked at a coney in the Detroit area growing up and they use beef & pork dogs. They were delicious.
I prefer pork and chicken dogs myself. You know hot dogs aren't originally supposed to be beef right? they originally were made with pork products.
@@sergeantseven4240 yep. Chicken to me has no flavor. Pork & beef I love but a lot of people won't eat pork these days.
That's YOUR opinion.
Wayne Novotny they think pork is dirty meat. I love pork.
how much can you earn selling hot dogs?
el caco
That’s a silly question, and not at all pertinent. The question you should be asking yourself is, “how much can I make selling hotdogs?” And before you consider answering you need to ask yourself, “what will my startup costs be?” And “Where would I put my cart and how much would that cost me?” As well as “Do I have the finances to carry me through any slumps, like a covid shutdown?”
Was that Gene Simmons at 2.39?
Sean O'Rourke I thought so too lol
🤣
whatter
your music is way extra
btw, that's not a good thing
The most successful stands in SoCal are the ones with supermodels (with plenty of cleavage) serving the hotdogs. Talk about long lines... Many are so hot they have bouncers with them for protection.
Successful?? Just make 2 dollar profits on burgers!! 😂😂😂

First, it was about hotdogs, not burgers.
Second, drink profits are 50¢ to $1.75 ea.
Third, you aren’t making all your money on one sale (any more than there are over 68,000 7-11 locations because you bought a big gulp and some red vines once), you are making money over the course of days, weeks, months, years.....
If you sell 200 dogs and 150 drinks on a good day, making $1.50 per dog and $1.00 per drink profits, than you made $450.00 that day (minus prorated costs of purchase of the cart, propane refills, permits, etc.).... this is NOT rocket science!
