I love your story. My father was a concrete finisher, I’m a son of a concrete finisher and I bought my first hotdog cart and I was on the southside of Chicago

@BensCarts 12 лет назад

We have several doggers that are trained chefs. Some create some amazing meals from their carts. Some stories at the blog.

I remember the best Chicago hot dog ever. It was1959. There was a cart with an Italian guy on Clark and Deming. We were coming back from playing baseball at Lincoln Park and could smell his dogs from a block away. Just heaven. A true Chicago dog for 25 cents. Nothing will ever come close for me...the BEST !!

@slobomotion 12 лет назад

I've had several cooking and food service jobs, in France and the USA, and it's long hours, you need to be patient and polite and have a strong back and solid feet. I am from Ohio. He says "pop," which we called "snap" in NYC. We had a Breton street vendor in Saint-Denis outside Paris who sold loose country sausage on buckwheat rolls. They cleaned up. They wore traditional costumes. The Arabs looked at me like I was gross for eating pork but the joke was on them.

@ericvondumb2838 6 лет назад

How was the joke on them? Feed the fuckers chicken or lamb! You screwed up! Oh, your from Ohio? Nevermind. lol

@Scorch1028 6 лет назад

I want a hot dog cart with a power outlet so I can charge my tablets and phones.

@BensCarts 11 лет назад

Are you talking your COGS or all your supplies, inventory, goods sold, propane, napkins and all? Either way, I have a couple videos on that here as well. In short, vendors average about 32% cost/operational expense.

@djsoduhis2realrelatablesou162 8 лет назад

Love your videos Ben. I'm hoping to get into the business myself once I get the money for a cart. Do you sell your carts in Canada?

@BensCarts 8 лет назад

+Russell Manyfingers Howdy. Yes, we sell worldwide.

@djsoduhis2realrelatablesou162 8 лет назад

Awesome! I'll keep in touch dude..

@im1greatman 12 лет назад

Can you talk about storing your food overnight? I heard that many city's want you to rent a freezer at a business because you can't have your food at your residence.

@michaelfradono4066 8 лет назад

Because Vienna Hot dog's are the best in the world!

@omv777 13 лет назад

He's an expert on TUBE STEAK wow !! lol

@BensCarts 11 лет назад

Yup, in the South most people want ketchup.

@truckersforumowneroperator6729 6 лет назад

Hot Dog Cart Store. you can always put mustard in a ketchup bottle ☺

@CyberDivan 11 лет назад

100K per year???. It is a business that is 20-30K.per year for most, unless you are in super high foot traffic areas like New York City. I have had several competitors believe they could make big money, until they had to make a truck payment. I am debt free so I can afford to make a living selling hot dogs.

@ericvondumb2838 6 лет назад

And you make how much?

@BensCarts 12 лет назад

@hobo59 To find out, you should become a distributor with them and have a relationship with them for over 35 years as he has.

@BensCarts 11 лет назад

Are you basing that 20-30 off of any real data? If so please email me as I would love to see it. I have data on thousands of vendors who work full time.

@UWCcyberwolf 11 лет назад

I meant for example my food costs 1$ for me to get. What percentage should I sell it at to make profit? 300%?

So we should take Mr. Hot Dog legend's advice and not sell hot dogs with ketchup? How many customers would that cost us in the long run?

so you were serving hotdogs without food service gloves🤔😳👎🏽

@BensCarts 3 года назад

He did. He's dead now.

@whipchops 11 лет назад

He probably does not have any real data. But just basing it off his own personal experience. Sounds like the poor guy has limited himself and is now generalizing the entire business according to his own limiting expectations of what HE should earn vending dogs
