I am wanting to buy a hotdog cart and start selling in our financial district. Anyone who has owned one owns?
and operates one, any info for me? or insider secrets about the biz? Do you have a recipe for new york style chili sauce? how do they make the neon green relish for chicage style dogs?
Why don’t you find out how much the license for a street food vendor is first?
In New York City, a choice spot has a rent of… over $50000 PER MONTH, and that’s just for location, NOT the cart or operating expenses.

I have been a vendor for about 10 years now and I love it! It is one of the last cash biz left. Our business is family owned and I love that I can be the boss. I did buy my cart in Indiana from Deb with Carts of America. I run my cart in Indiana and they like chili sauce but ours is bean based. They also like dark hot dogs so I have a grill on my cart as well. Let me know if you have any other question.
