Own a Food Cart

“I’ve owned a food trailer for 4.5 years and it’s stationary outside of a coffee shop. We sell breakfast tacos and Mexican food. Don’t have experience with hot dogs out of a cart BUT my wife and I have learned tons In this time. We had no experience in the food business but we had a dream and we chased it! [...] There will be a lot of struggles along the way but if you learn to persevere the good days will outweigh the bad ones, guaranteed! Most customers will be nice but you will have asses as well occasionally. Figuring out how much inventory will also be a challenge because it’s just hard to predict at first how much you need to have onsite, at least at first.”

“I run a food cart on the side, and I sell primarily hot dogs. When you find the right location, you can do much better working a cart than you can a 9-5. [...] Running a cart is it’s own beast compared to a truck, so be prepared to roll with the punches. Remember to have fun with your customers. The beauty of a cart is how easy it is to connect with the folks you are feeding.”
