How to Open a Burger Joint the Cheap Way. (Real Numbers)

[@rA9ai]

I went a very different approach. I offer two items: Hamburger and Cheeseburger and have a cooler with basic condiments for them to dress on their own. I have an unusual advantage and started in a small town of about 5k people and it is all farmers and old fashioned people who don't care about fancy food. My only "competition" is a sonic and dq about 10 miles away. I charge $5 for both burgers and $1 soda cans. Everything after the first week is profit and I'm only working 3 hours a day weekdays and 6 hours on Saturday. I'm only in my 2nd year and average monthly take home is about 6k. Loving this business.

Location, location, location. You found the right location.

Do u have licenses or anything? And where do u setup?

[@josephornelas942]

Do you have a storefront? I’ve been thinking about doing a simple burger stand. Kinda like a taco cart.

I plan to open my own burger joint, now I am studying everything that is on the Internet, video articles. Thank you for your work, it was very useful and interesting!

[@founderdriven]

That is fantastic!

I hope to open my own small burger business hopefully in the next 3-5 years. I plan on 1st getting my CDL & save up good enough to buy a small property as I’ll like to have a small dine in area as my small town lacks in dine in. I know there’s lots of opportunities here we’re I live. My town somehow is bringing 3 new restaurants with 2 other smoothie type drink business this year which was a shock to community as we haven’t had a restaurant open up here for the past 3-4 years which was an iHop. We’re getting a Denny,s, Jack in the box & a popular south Texas taco joint here.

Skipping the food truck, and straight up leasing a small burger joint?

[@abdogamer_yt]

very helpful thank you

[@Mr.MustardCooks-zm8qx]

I started my hot dog and burger business for less than $5,000

[@founderdriven]

That’s amazing. How did you do it?

[@Mr.MustardCooks-zm8qx]

@@founderdriven It's from home. We got properly licensed with our city and partnered with DoorDash. Very little overhead cost.

[@sakk0-0]

200+ seems really high, I should be all in doors open for 45-50k

[@founderdriven]

If you can pull it off that’s fantastic.

If I had extra money I would definitely do a McDonald’s franchise that’d be one of the best investments. But I feel if you pick a nice local location in a commercial area you’ll be successful and less stress behind a mega franchise. I might start off with a burger food truck tho

[@founderdriven]

Can’t go wrong with McDonald’s!

[@Kikester]

It’ll cost you like 2Mil to open up a Mcds. I think opening up a local burger shop which has a unique menu can be better as you’ll need less capital.

[@Mr.MustardCooks-zm8qx]

You have to pay well over a million dollars for the franchise and you must work up to 80 hours a week at the location. You will be buying a very expensive job! I make 5K a month cooking hot dogs and burgers from home. Easy peasy.

Do you have any knowledge about the vegetarian market? Any idea how big the vegetarian market is?

[@Brandon-uy1uv]

I can't see a vegetarian going to a burger shop to smell tasty beef and see others eating cow

[@Hamza-iq6gw]

@@Brandon-uy1uv i was thinking about a vegetarian burger joint. I do agree what you said that's non done

[@Goblinoid-o]

@@Hamza-iq6gwbecause of how small the vegan market is the burgers would have to be very expensive to make up for it

[@Hamza-iq6gw]

@@Goblinoid-o i thought the vegetarian market is way bigger than 20 years ago

[@Goblinoid-o]

@@Hamza-iq6gw doesn’t mean it’s big enough to support a business without high prices fact of the matter is most people are not vegetarian

I will try harder next time. 🥲
