This hot dog business only operates 4 days a week in 4 hour shifts. Youz Guys found the perfect little restaurant window to serve hot dogs on the street! They specialize in Chicago Dogs and even offer vegan options. We chat about why storefront vs food truck vs food cart, day to day operations, expenses, advice, growth and more! Check them out below!

He touched on many good points, customer service and charging a fair price. I like the fact that he uses QUALITY products and then said if you have to go up in price just a bit things will work out. I don't know how many times I've seen a business go the Cheap route to save a couple of dollars and customers know when things have changed and they will choose to not return, I heard long ago that its easier to keep customers then find new customers everyday. Keep customers happy and they will keep coming back because we all are creatures of habit and when we find something we like .... that's what we go for.

ALL great info...my personal comment is "you don't go to a great hot dog place--and order a fake plant based hot dog". If you want a hot dog--get a damn REAL hot dog !

I guess a brick and mortar spot is nice for those who prefer it, I’m leaning more towards a hot dog cart and getting a 24/7 commissary for roughly $200/month! At least with the cart I’m free to travel maximizing my income at events and such! But it’s only a dream until it happens!

Very good interview! I have a food trailer and will put it in service very soon selling hot dogs and other items. We have a "special" sauce vs chili for our dogs that should go over very good. I could surely use help from you in the startup etc. if you have time? Either way, we share the same passion for people vs the passion for cooking.

Is that $50k gross sales? Or $50k profit after COGS? $50k profit would be close to $100k in sales.

Usually gross because it sounds better, but yeah I prefer they tell us the net profit. Like after taxes, utilities, rent etc.

Great success story, too bad 50k a year is not enough money to live these days unless you're slumming it. I could see this being a great side gig for someone. This guy is doing it right though, its only what, 4 ish hours a day and he has other jobs as well.

@MrTwinkieeater 9 ай бұрын

You can totally do it as a main gig if other passive investments are working for you.

I agree, but yeah he could make much more if he wanted to hustle more....I personally know it's completely easy to make $1k per hour, but that's at events.

50k/yr in 1980 was good. In 2024 it’s not much above a median income with no room for advancement or benefits. It’s a good side gig or weekend thing. I hope he has another job that pays better.

@kd8opi 5 ай бұрын

@@martinramirezmi5457 I’m middle aged. But even in in the 1990’s when I went to college, a solid starting salary for a CPA at a large national firm was in the mid-40’s. Today, the average salary for men is around 60k. And this guy has zero benefits. It’s a living, but not a good one. How inexperienced in the world are you my friend?

@eugenes9751 8 ай бұрын

50k for a window!!!!!? You are out of your mind. Just checked on their business and they have 1 Yelp review and 32 Google reviews all about the owner and none about the hotdog quality. And the hotdogs are $4-$8.
