            guy here in Atlanta does it. Metro area. says he makes like $300-500 a day. Biggest time is obviously during lunch absolutely kills it. Chicago style dogs are just $3.25.. or he does 2 dogs, chips and a drink for $7 which is the best deal.

              Heard bad stories about those guys selling hot dogs. Peeing in alleys and not washing their hands after.
              Not only are you buying a hot dog, you are eating HIS dog also.

                    You have the right idea. I think you need to pimp your cart out to draw attention. Have the smoothest cart in ny then u should blow up.

                      Read about a hot chick at some Florida beach selling hot dogs in her skimpy bikini making a grand a day. Might be worth hiring some eye candy and doubling your sales.

                        This is a great idea! Have one piece eating a hotdog acting all slutty. Another one can be hand feeding customers for 20$ a pop. You could call it "Hotties and Hot Dogs", or depending on the demographics, "Hoes and Hot Dogs".

                          Booking spots at trade shows and music festivals is a lot easier than pushing the thing around the street.

                          If you make average $2.50 profit per sale on dogs/drinks and sell 500/day that's $1250 per day btw. Not $250.

                          I own a similar style cart and rent it out to people for $150/day so they would want to be doing better than $250/day to bother. Last guy that used it had it 4 days at a caravan and camping show and did over 10k in sales.
                          .
