Hello i am from uk i am wanting to open a hot dog cart/stand business all i will be serving is a basic 8 inch hot dog with a number of diffrent sauces which i know where i am going to get them from the sauces will be mayonaisse, tomato , mustard ,bown sauce , bbq sauce also a few more which i am undecided of. i would like to sell hot dogs in a wrap style form aswel as the classic bun but i am not confident that i have found a good quality wrap as of yet ,the cold drinks ill be serving will be your standard canned drinks (coke cola , tango ) also i would like to serve coffe and tea(maybe hot choclate) and i have recently been to a place which sold the coffe and tea in a unique but quick and efficient way which atualliy made me buy a normal cup and the intresting one , using the same coffe, and there was a huge difference. i will hopefully be working in 2 maybe 3 locations to catch the breakfast and lunch crowd also at night as i have looked into working outside a nightclub which is very much possible as i would get the protection of the club bouncers aswel.
the sausages i will be using are a minimum of 85% meat and do not use cereals or artificial colours or flavouring and have less calories than a sausage roll on avg. i will have a crispy onion dispenser which the customers can use themselves, it adds to the experience the customer gets involved while having a great chat to me not for everyone. my menu will just consist of hot dog wrap or bun and drinks and sauces i will not have loads of different styles of hot dogs i will proberbly have a a dog of the season ,christmas will be are standard 8 inch hot dogs with sage and onion stuffing sounds unusual but i have tried it out and so have freinds and family 30 people all together and 25 liked and woud buy one from me i actually didnt have enough hot dogs there was suppose to be 2 each but some people were having 3 but luckily everyone tried one .i am stuck whether i shuld do a vegeterian option and also a friend pointed out that i should do a kids dog and i have a few ideas floating around my favourite one is the puppy meal . you will get a 6 inch hot dog any sauce a piece of fruit (sticking with the healthyish plan ) and a drink . but i am not sure of this will be good business even though we have alot of teen mums in area i will not be doing that straight away but will be in the close future . in the long run i will want to own a few more carts and then proberbly stick at that if it works out no point changing a good plan but i might consider opening up a small hot dog resturant if thats what i could cal it where u get to sit down and enjoy your hot dog with background music and maybe a pool table because i have researched into it and my main consumer will be teenagers from the local college but i am not sure whether to do that because one of my other main consumers are actually office workers who want to grab and go i could even setup an internet connection in the place if i wanted to attract that market i think i have coverd everything and basically all that information was to ask if there is anyone who would like to loan or even invest in me and the business i will be using the loan to purchase the cart and items which i have got down to a decent price. i have a passion for hot dogs and a passion to be succesful cant beat that really so please if anyone is intrested i am 100% open to any suggestions sorry for the long essay and my punctuation i am not good at that stuff so thankyou for your time . Dean
