Hot Dog Vendor Training And Tips
On this Hot Dog Vendor Radio Show, hot dog vendors called in with their tips and some with questions. How do you serve 1700 hot dogs in 2 hours? What condiments should I start out with?
Robb Harper Is Building His Hot Dog Cart

Supahotdogs Shares A Fantastic Tip!
My tip of the week from Supa Hotdogs comes to you via the Dollar Tree. After seeing a display this week of chips and pretzels, I asked the manager if I could have a few of these clips. The manager graciously gave me as many as I wanted as they throw them away when they are done with them. It is perfect, as the items I will hang on them are priced at $1.00. What a great savings instead of purchasing chip clips (Sorry Ben 😛 )Ill understand if you don't want to advertise this saving 🙂Andrew from Supa Hotdogs
Wild Willie Hot Dogs
Just started 8 weeks ago and already helping us to save some mullah! Stuart sent me a picture of his handmade sign that only cost $15. 1×2's and 2'x4′ sheet of white board. Great job Stuart! Thank you for sharing.
Pirates!
Talk Like A Pirate Day was a blast. Cory Lawrence from O'Doggy's donned a pirate hat and my wife and I went to a pirate dinner. (Remember folks, the camera adds 110 pounds. I'm really rather skinny.
NEW Swooper Flag Holder Design
Not only will this save you time and money, it doubles as a shin guard for those pesky hot dog cart tongues. Thank you Ron for sharing with us all. It's great to get hot dog vendor training from fellow hot dog vendors. 🙂
Hi, Ben
I wanted to share with you my latest ‘Idea on the Cheap.' It's my ‘Dirt Cheap Swooper Holder/Shin Basher Preventer Doo Dah Doo Dah.'
In this picture, it needs to be tack-welded into place on the trailer tongue and painted but you'll get the idea. It's just a piece of pipe that I drilled and tapped for a set-screw to hold the swooper pole in place. The set-screw itself is a bolt with a short piece of rod attached to create a handle. The actual welding to the tongue will be just a few tacks to allow any water to run out.
The added benefit is that it's going to prevent anyone from accidentally falling over the trailer tongue or bashing their leg a dirty one on it. In either case, that would most likely be me.
The point is that anyone can get things done for next to nothing with a little thought and ingenuity. This one's a twofer.
Have a great day!

Thomson in a tip and this is a and
awesome tip
this is on let's see here
this is my might tip is did on comes via
Dollar Tree and he's kind he says after
seeing a display this week
chips and pretzels as the manager if I
could have a few these clips
the manager graciously gave as many as I
wanted
as they throw them away and I'll post
the picture above it but I'm sure you've
seen a min
dollar stores and even even full-fledged
you know department stores the uses
plastic strips
with little tiny plastic hooks on and
they they throw me away when the done
with them it's perfect as the items I
will hang on them
are priced at a dollar an so
what a great savings is that a
purchasing chip clip sleeper sorry been
all understand if you don't want to
advertise the savings
I don't have her mind if you find a
better deal or a good idea to save money
Hill yes send it to me and I'll tell
everybody

and I thank you for sharing it with me
and I'll post a picture that
arm Andrew on the blog in anybody else
that wants to see it
and you can probably get your dollar
tree or dollar store and get those clips
because once they're done with them
they probably all thrown away and that
word makes me in the
clips
much
the next
this next one

is create this vendor has created
a flag holder a sweeper flag holder
on the time the discard his tongue up
his car sticks out
and so it's a you know a hazard to his
customers

call attention to it
he devised a way to attach a pole holder
to the tone
and he sent me a picture of it and it's
going to show you how to put a sweeper
flag in there and it's an awesome idea
it keeps people from accidentally
falling over cuz there's a big flag

people look at your email
but didn't click anything they didn't
read the article and it tells you
in and I can emit said it tell you how
long they spent their looking at it
are I don't need know that but it was
interesting when I was looking through
it
at the number of people the read go from
read the articles
and so
arm now some %uh be obviously if you are
unsure listen to the whole she may not
need to hear the whole article
you may just go with gravel incur to
that was mentioned but
either way I appreciate those the
follows and
are that I'm chillin so hot dog in it
posted up his tasty bill cart which
is a gorgeous set up I must say he's got
bags have snapped
limit change that he's got buckets up
snacks
this played out on a table and I'll put
a picture this up on the blog as well

gorgeous setup with beautiful pictures
have what you're getting you know these
these charred grilled sausages and dogs
on the grill is in a big full color
banner and then chip clip racks hanging
from the tent
this is a professional setup and so two
thumbs up
a bomb you know and a cigarette up
forearm
hot dog in it I think you did superb and
I'm impressed
arm
send a picture love miss dogs liner
and given him that's not look for taking
off
a picture cover and she worked the cart
and
so nathan's also arm
apparently was offering their three hr
dogs and buns
at a gaming expo the the g E
that Bishop Corey Blake attended
Anne want to share that they were
delicious he had three oval
and I think all those the Follow us on
Facebook and Twitter in
on you know all stuff
now
I need to get back over here and make
sure we don't have anybody holding
on calls no an
and
let me check
wanna go over here got some looking
at the chatroom can anybody hear me OK
this type a yes or no for on
will make sure that this is working
excellent thank you on
go overtures
in question to get those are the way an
this is from
a vendor and I'm I wanna try to help
happen as much as possible this is
Paul's hot dogs
and he can do three underdogs at the
farmers market in five hours
okay that's about sixty dogs in our road
won a minute basically
are which is great i've a group approach
me your each had a group approach and
hot dogs in about two hours
he says I'm scared and i really am
trying to figure the best way to do this
I will have a
cater I will have to cater this and I
think looking at
on cooking the dogs and bonds
individually wrapped and for them hold
them and drink a large maybe my answer
help all that is your help all the good
thing is all I have to do is hot dogs
and economists Asian others will be
drinks snacks there no cooking shows and
or cycle of
so on might
my suggestion would be as more people
i'd
we did in our corn underdog actually did
the article and showed serving
on that many people and that amount of
time
any gives you the walkthrough he tells
you exactly how he did it and set it up
so we could do it on
recently we posted a picture and on the
blog
a vendor who really on was working hard
he
he was on
up this for a huge fan I I think it's
called loaded for bear
and bear didn't show up an he he was
really went all out
I mean he had behind his cards he had
boilers set up like turkey roaster
bowlers
with water and three separate with
spices and that way he could do to
underdogs at a time
that maybe your best option I hate to
pre cook 'em
and rampant cuz hot dogs you know
depending on the type you bind the kind
you buy in the ambient temperature that
they said and how much moisture in the
air and Bob Loblaw
they can shrivel they can bust they can
get
on chewy there's too many variables
unless you've tried this in the past to
figure out what's going to work best pre
cook 'em
I would say
taken followed so they're all followed
so all you're doing is heating up
which won't take but second you know
literally seconds if it's on a rapid
boil or a Rapid Steam
and have you a couple turkey ballers
that would be an inexpensive way to go
and you might be able to keep up
if you have some finance some help you
need some help
and it'll be worth it having them there
so that you have two people doing this
job to people
adding new ones in when that ball gets
low you move transfer those dogs to the
steam table
and then you start another batch you
keep this rolling
the end you could probably pull it off
if somebody's got a calculator handy I
can do
everything at once but if somebody has
arm
a
he calculator and if they can put Ian
on
in divided by
on means that the two hundred twenty
minutes
first
hot dogs
did the math on that somebody in tell me
how many that is
a minute on I think it's gonna be around
a hundred and thirty
guessing and maybe a crappy gas but are
reading
had Mathis is working on Manhattan's
SoHo I'm not real sure
if that's gonna be the answer but that's
what I alarm
that's what our guests and then we'll
figure out is that doable
on if you will ball if you're listening
to the show
if you will go into unlearn hot dogs
dot-com
and type in the word underdogs it's
going to pull up an article
on where he shared how he did on
you know
well I think it was six gallons a
Chilean hours or five hours
he went through that many chili dogs
policy was due in
all the dogs and all the types and how
he laid that out
out so that he could best serve this
customer so maybe
Aon a good way to do that
did anybody get a
I'm lookin and lookin
now I can be
minute
k a minute so fourteen times
equals
original
number was
on
center yes
so either way yeah dogs a min
that's incredibly fast but there are
people that have done that and there's
people that are doing it now
arm if you look up an article there's a
guy in new york city that
a as and from the Metropolitan Museum
and he's doing
like on three dogs every five seconds or
three dogs every seven seconds
so
either way it's it's very possible and
to
to do what you're wanting to do on but I
don't
it's going to require help there's no
way I don't think one
person could do that on
somebody just posted in a hundred and
forty-one per minute
that would be a challenge under you know
at what people helping me
anymore
so
a movie
sectors on things I know you're delayed
on if you're watching it at street food
vendor tv
and it was too late a little bit so on I
apologize
let's see I'm going to move on over to
another question this comes in from
Bernadette she says
i am new to the business and really
loving your video so far
i've seen about four or so have a way to
go
I was trying to find out the best
Comments tab on a cart obviously
i'm bernard et you will get those in the
in the videos its gonna talk about it
but
arm when I'm startin iight I teach to go
with the least amount possible
first to get your feet under you and and
sometimes better let the customers
do it on if you're too busy location but
if you're not
and you wanna drescher dogs arm by all
means have
depending on where you are in the
country but the basics are ketchup mayo
mustard
relish on some people say helping as I
say helping use
Chile
and I'm diced onions and
on I I think that's about it that's you
know you could have about five or six
and have more than enough headache to
deal with into you get rolling
if you jump right into your cell serving
Chicago dogs
and some other dogs you may have a
little more challenging
but the basic comments like you would
want
or your region eat on a dog
that's what I would go after and then
you can start branching out looking at
other stuff
that you may wanna put on your cart as
you go along test
hope that answers your question I know
already sent you a link to one of the
Pasha's worry
discussed that but I wanted to get that
to you
again it may help some other people
on there with the folks
okay
okay I got on
super dog
the hot dogs ass I'm having an issue
with the comments keep in a cool
I have the nicest things still be under
the water trips
on them while undressing the dog ice
packs maybe
on ice packs are great but her
ice pack
to work better than ice ice though
goes around stuff easier and will help
you
in the long run okay that official
numbers its -point
which is fourteen point to a few roundup
which would be dogs a minute so that
perfect
home
so
I would say
me
I would say definitely
on
definitely do it
on
I would have
help period be a big job even even under
with my experience that's a big job on
so I would definitely look into their on
super hot dogs I'm back to your
ice packs ice packs are gonna hold up
better cause lester being there is
condensation to deal with them
but I would not panic arm I don't know
that I'm fully understanding the
the problem as far as yet says you have
a nice day must still be and but the
water drips
on them while undressing the dog that
parts confusing me a little bit
just an
expand on that when you get a chance on
nice Michael earned

him and see if he
knows a way to Retro over to a
left-handed style

looking at the car looking at the car
with the way they're built in all of
it looks like it will be too much
trouble to well
component
yeah it may work I don't know arm
if the burner unit if that rail can be
flipped
because then it's gonna be upside down
but that is a good question on key I
know that I could put in single burner
unit easily
and shift everything to the left arm but
they're our rail is a three burner fuel
rail
and flipping it on offer to work that
you can ask Keith

against your chest
third smaller than my line and its
people because everything backwards for

Ocean City burling I'm it was alright
prior
farm or yar be a constant
Labor Day or any way to make a long
story short which teacher
kami came straight at me Health
Department
is one of the most strictest in the
country I am
how RR give your keys are for what are
the rules for their rules issued got a
five-year
food from there and within the county
have to lie under
local or our supermarkets can break
through
into the county have never a case of
such protection
runner a Sams illegal well
its property is illegal the other cats
was if you didn't buy it in their county
had to bring it in under
federated I your niche in a generator
had to be running at all times
on my gosh and yeah if they just one
about the latest you know she has a big
bald walk like atlantic City Virginia
Rhino Bay just want to dominate just
being there but the other thing was a
happy nightly older strong because I
don't ever expect
to cart tonight or tomorrow services or
basher you know same old battle with the
NFL your day
okay United me from even come into the
county say you did spectacular you have
used in my car
so were you able to do the big event the
Jason because if
if you tell me yes it I didn't well what
happened was the
promoter of the event was very
apologetic
janik about it but the county and you
know but wanted to give me in there
because I was also doing them in a
funnel cake
and IR they are pretty you to come in
there
in addition under the guise Robear
nonprofit but the deal was I couldn't
get you my business they have occurred
at my business book on my car
which is fired so I cut down there a
cap set up actually dropped my quick
adopt a baby for
somewhere between at night and the next
morning somebody shout out I was too
tired arm and the health department
kick me off the property oh my gosh so
from area at my two daughters with me is
my helper and you
doing addition actually helped make it a
so
I'll so what did that happen work type
must stop our core from
transcribe there because I was unable to
get from restaurant depot to courses
morning was there are
Baltimore pass transcribe to
took back everything except for the
lim et the only reason why it came back
to eliminate you know that's my little
secret payments would have been is that
they don't want to
emanated don't wanna squeeze lemon they
rightly eliminate right
goes over like a big hit nobody can tell
it's not for us we
trap its own it all started with great
success
exelon out everywhere
I love it so I was able to take take it
back everything's transcriber
and get most my money back some I lost a
couple days been done locally
I lost it either paid a promoter
fortunes are too large box
for three days which is pretty she ahead
to the course to hotel doing and there
are but two tires on my daughter was
colder
so in our truck check it out if you
experience any
you know these promoters over promise
under deliver star
and yeah I know very
on they can be huge risk in and I
I know a vendor the is in Georgia that
went to
an event their very first two then they
got on who dude
and they quit they are
that was it for me it it they had barred
unicorn stole all the money what
you to the severe an had no backup plan
and this in went to hell on them and so
they
they quit the business and so it can be
disastrous
well on that's why I don't think your
actual events when you're starting out
some people have
have if you have the money to you know
buffer its okay but
it's still scary yeah i i agree there
are we
do events to start now to get my feet
wet get to experience
you know how to adjust your burgers and
how long it took dog out a hammock on
the Grafton
customer demand all that I i get all
that I me about which part do it better
I learned a lot from last year so this
year out safe Mina Meyer
locketts right you gotta have some
losses in business because you just
can't predict
reject our our event Carter now
charm but are I yeah I was just
paperweight now I'm able to pick and
choose I found out that the best man is
a free event
of course but there are other second on
the list would be
where you clear percent of your pro
speech
to the event coordinator that way if you
don't do so well you don't agree it's
much
their works really well and then I try
to keep anything under dollars
required to pay for example a county
fair watched three thousand dollars
today and for a seven-day
at the character and that's a lot of
money to put up front include you know
not include product
take a chance on a carrot rare
but out
well
you go ahead you know I was going to say
the other other comment i'd it the other
band that Jason gave me which was a
canine Academy they were doing a canine
convention
where they brought in all these dog had
been discovered our equipment and stuff
like that they had chosen demos and
here's a good DJ
better not to be a great success it was
pre-paid cater to craft
but just to comment on a gentleman that
was worried about the concept in our
hatcher had started to ours we did a
great and what I did but
check whether a turkey fryer birders yup
and took the pot
and put it right beside my car show that
out with a hundred August
then I use much you hot mature direct
each
you put another dog Rambo grows so as
the one ran out
paternity other which is already cooking
showed up to
first one so there was a good choice for
high-power
since I was able to do it that way with
just one birdie on the side and that was
pretty special a pic be
trip not seventy had a better answer
close to that number in less than three
hours
are you know mediscare you don't have to
worry about handling money and all at
are you ready just station your help and
a where
strategic way where they can you know
you can get a dark spread like to chart
in the book
have read our chat getting customers
hands not how much
keno equipment or or our supplies yeah
exile there that was key
one glad arm I'm glad you shared that
too because it makes people feel better
to know that hey
successful vendors and have had
unsuccessful vans an unsuccessful days
Corey can tell you
arm yet days mg Korean I've had my have
my fair share
a bad day that's right you now even even
the event I really don't care to do
that's too much
it seems like every time we decide to do
in a bad some
all three were you know we had some
success but that's what
all you know sometime this is sometimes
is not work
risk remains though i'm satisfied with
just being out there on a daily basis
instead
but you know there's years it wasn't a
big any bands and not so much
albanian and vice versa you know it just
depends on what a person's
want to do right
I have a half hour como success story
eventually
ardor bench that are word where the food
is good walk around food hot talks
a good walk around through Sat be car
showrooms
motorcycle shows rallies are proper
ron's
advanced like that where people don't
want played its food
they don't want the hassle they just
want some quick heart to make a walk
around the show where like you know
I'm certain stressed opposing yeah
actually marketing
SK and you know I I've learned to pick
and choose the show's
that are like that have had a lot of
success this year with a risk factor for
advanced
you bring up an excellent point arm that
their
I don't think we've ever discussed is
the fact that that's another benefit to
the hot dog businesses because it is
walk around I hate going somewhere to
the fair something
and have to take my plate of spaghetti
or whatever I've bought
and go find a seat you know because you
either have to cut it or you have to
or getting your mouth or hot dog is easy
to to walk around with
on its white corn dogs are popular in
advance
it's an easy walk around food but I it's
never come up in any the conversations
that I can recall
so i'm glad you brought that up that's
an excellent point he
yeah I mean you know that those most and
you know I like or stay
you just have to learn I just stronger
experienced which shows stay away from
and which shows are you know are minimal
risk if you don't do well or
or trains or like work calmly Abbas
media
Malachi put up to here which promote a
problem never showed up
you know the other thing you want to do
make sure
you targeted basher bet it that you want
to make sure you don't
outdoor and air to protect voter and if
you are
there you're not exclusive it's crazy
hot dog vendor there
and there's somebody out there you wish
you know that our tried and you know to
expect
well I had a car or van your other
people were cooking outdoors on the side
and I want you to promoter and said hey
you probably are
the only been here you know we got a
contract and he made them stop selling
them
and you know much else your because
there
a lot so that's another good point I I
don't like
I don't care if there's another vendor
at Monona not want to be able to base my
decision on whether to go
knowing that in advance not have a
surprising have six vendors
show up are my first time at the flea
market I think I wrote it in the book
that was nine people selling hot dogs at
the flea market
i still cant but it was nine people
selling hot dogs including myself
and just ridiculous amount of hot dog
sales
but everybody kinda notes they know what
a good walk around food it's like
pretzels and a corn dogs
an even hamburgers long as it didn't
load like you know
Wendy single as long as its you know
fairly basic
it's easy to walk around with but I'm I
appreciate you
colony and I'm not arm try to run over
and catch another caller we've got about
eight minutes left and i wanna make sure
get too long
alright thanks a lot I thanks Jimmy call
back anytime that isn't it
okok care
collar area code your lab on public
minority in street food vendor TV
welcome to the show
a bit
and well
gratifying after to you and money was
ended by the way I'm again comment from
battle our valley yes it so actually the
city of Lancaster Ari carrying in
California
right anger what are the most difficult
places to
so hard I think so make sure it's now
but
anyway I request cherie arm I've been
trying to see if I can bend and
to that local city which Lancaster and
Palmdale and I ran into a problem which
is
one city only allows you to sell for
about minutes
then the other one its stator in their
cold
from four short amount of time so I
guess that's left
for interpretation you know there's any
way around
I sure do on if you will go over to the
blog
when when you get done here tonight and
I'll give you some more info but
on the blog if you look up the word
justice
J Yu stin CE arm you will find several
articles we've done
where specifically the Institute for
Justice
has taken on cities who have great a
rule
that inhibits a street vendor to you
know they gotta move every minutes or
they can't
they have to constantly be moving in
Leicester serving
arm there's all kinds of little rules
these are
bomb capitalist on the a crony
capitalist basically it's
it's the the good ol boy system and
government this says I'm gonna protect
my
on vendors I'm gonna keep them protected
and are not my vendors but protect my
restaurants
just is restaurant owners you know help
to promote get
politicians in office locally and so
they create these rules that are
restrictive
and the illegal and it has been found in
court so there's actually cage
presidents
the state that these rules they tried it
not Lana
Atlanta got sued been lost they tried it
Miami Miami got sued in lost
in this case after case so in the the
the beauty of this year's you're
protected by a federal law
and it's in the bill of rights in its
called the right to work
and if you're in a legal on profession
and they can make zoning requirements
but if you're doing everything legal
they can't go well we only allow you to
earn money for minutes a day
so you do have an eye out you'd
they even have a PDF you can download
and download of my blog even
on it's attached to the article and
you can go to the city and say here
here's here's what's happened in the
past it's a nice way to diplomatic way
to approach them
so that you can get this resolved in
they go away
on and and maybe it may be quicker then
a lawsuit but I Jays not scared of a
lawsuit
so it may be a possibility for you well
I typically do appreciate all the
information in there
