If I Was Starting Vending All Over

I'm often asked if I was to start over today, how would I start vending. I'm 100% positive... I'd start differently. And this is what I'd do...

I needed to see this, you lit a fire in me and now I have a plan on how to get started. Was extremely intimidated on starting with hot dogs but with lemonade I know I can definitely do it! Thank you! 🙏

Hello to Ben and your fam / team.. I love this vid.. Im starting out.. and I will start with lemonade too!! money talks thank you sir! Im 42 years old and a 27year vet of the kitchen world.. and Im struggling and tired of the grind for others.. I have wanted to do a chili dog stand or truck for a couple years and recently decided I was going to do it.. Ive been doing studding and research.. I have some money saved just not alot I'm on a budget.. and I either wanna build my own rig.. or find a suitable cheap one .. I like in Oklahoma city and I found a commissary already and I'm in touch with the health dept recently finding out what I need o know on that part.. I have been watching your vids and I wsh you had a slightly cheaper model for sell.. sadly it is what it is.. but I was wondering if your still thee for some advice via email? i am going to make this happen.. im excited yet very nervous about making mistakes with my savings.. id love it if I could bounce off ya some if I could,, thank you for what you do..

[@eanm.9882]

Hey Ben, planning to order a cash cow hot dog cart. Wanting to pick it up and am wondering if it is safe to travel with it 5.5hrs back to my home? Assuming it is because it is DOT approved.

[@rorieenterprisesllc835]

In Franklin, TN area. How does TN treat the lemonade vendors?

[@wolfenalpha5330]

when are you going to do a kettle corn update? or have you stopped working on that? We started ours last month and we do fresh squeezed lemonade with it... so far it is going well. you helped us make the final decision on which company we got our popper from. Thank you from Smokey's Kettle Corn

[@BensCarts]

I don't know if you follow it on the learnhotdogs.com blog but I've rented it out a few times to others and I've used it for more stuff but haven't posted in a while.

[@livviatoms7563]

I live in Charlotte, NC. Would it be best to wait until spring to start or could I set up and sell during the winter?

[@BensCarts]

No! Winter vending rocks for many... even LevTov in Canada. Some make more in the winter. learnhotdogs.com/?s=winter+vending

Hey just a quick question do you think I could even get $2 a couple lemonade I'm in Phoenix Arizona and everybody in the world's going to lemon trees in their backyard lemons are free but yet I do see people buy them at the grocery store who curious and I'd love to get five six but I'm already getting 7/8 for the dogs I don't want to be too greedy

[@tomakers7701]

Call Ben, this is Tom. I've been watching videos with big Dan and your name popped up and I subscribe to you and I was thinking about starting a dogger I have someone that has one for sale not sure what it's worth be honest I'm retired I have no money basically any advice. Thank you. Can't wait to get back to hear from you

Only all the ones here on KZbin that I've done in 2020.

Hi. I'm on a few videos now. One simple question, does anyone use renewable energy to cook with? I want to go light. Thanks for your time. I expect no, because it's a newer company. I enjoy your videos because, I found I wasn't that far off. On some assumptions. I have a vision and a small plan. Shout out from Cleveland OH. My biggest fear, is security also. How many have hired guns to watch your back. Tragedy to a couple of my friends in the car business . Different sector, still cash. ✌

[@BensCarts]

Renewable energy as in what specifically? Here is an old live q&a we did where safety comes up. learnhotdogs.com/073-hdvr-dogs-no-license-vendor-insurance-variance-safety-hot-dog-vendor-training/ I've over 10 years, I've heard of one vendor being robbed. I'm sure it happens but I teach on where and how to keep your money in my free training: learnhotdogs.com/start Also, today around 55% of all transactions are cards.

[@johnrutkowski2070]

@@BensCarts Hi. Solar. GoSun. They have what they called a commercial stand. Like 5 tubes stacked. There's a solar kitchen they sell. Battery packs are available. Interesting. Just got done with that video with Johnathan. So, I looked up local carts. 4200 with trailer. Lady owned it. Nice part of town. You said base was like 3000. I'm about to go to your lemonade site. I want to focus on lemonade and have a smaller electric hotdog machine with the electric. Jumping around on videos in between life. Found a guy that puts his cart on google by the Cleveland Clinic Hospital. 2021 is my year, possibly.

[@johnrutkowski2070]

Hi. Just put you on home screen for the hot dog site. Time to share my phone with my 6 yo. Lol. Thanks.🍋🌭🍋🌭🍋🌭😎😎🌭😎🍋😁✌

[@leeboggs249]

If start-up costs were equal, would you still start with lemonade?

[@BensCarts]

Probably not. It's what's so appealing is the low entry and how much $$$ profit is in it.

[@thumpergman]

I thought lemon stand was something kids did

[@BensCarts]

And they do, but commercial lemonade stands are making a killing!
