I hope I'm so busy I don't have a chance to sit down. But I imagine I could bring a folding chair or stool for slow times. They key is to hit lunch rushes in industrial parks or do special events that are super packed.

I've always heard that the food trucks that hit the county fairs every summer make a killing.

They do, but it's kind of a closed market in the major fairs, because the same people set up with pretty much the same vendors every year. You have to break in to that one. I learned this from a cow orker who was in catering.

I don't have a job man. If I did, I'd hire a designer.

I will donate dogs to anyone from the Cellar who visits, and if the business takes off, I'll pay 1 full month of costs for the site.

I recall hearing that as well. Surely radar doesn't want to be on the road like that anyway, but I would imagine the profit with low overhead would be similar.

Oh, and now I'm craving elephant ears, sugar waffles, those weird taco thingies, and fresh cut skin-on fries in a cup. :o

What about costs for taxes, insurance, wastage, (healthcare)? Kickbacks to the local plods, and licences you may need?

Radar 02-20-2009 08:23 PM

I was thinking about the dog with horns on it. It made me think of another good name.....

DEVIL DOGS


Florida already has a chain called Hot Dog Heaven, so Devil Dogs would be a natural competitor. ;)

Shawnee123 02-20-2009 08:24 PM

I like it. More hot-doggish. :)

Licenses, permits etc. will cost about $300/year max.

Healthcare will be purchased from the profits. My wife and daughter will be employees and I'll deduct this from my taxes at the end of the year for however much of my income gets reported. ;)

It doesn't have to be a huge amount -no-one will know how much. But all we know right now is that you refuse to hot the tipjar on principle, and yet you feel entitled to ask the comminity you refuse to support for help. I'm not saying you shouldn't get help/you don't deserve it, just that a token gesture would be nice.

You never know, if you become more a part of the community in the holistic sense, maybe you'll wake up one day to find a shiny hot dog cart in your drive, with dwellars names on little pieces of paper taped all over it! maybe.

In four years you'll be able to pay the cost of a one year permit for a spot in front of the Met. See post above

While I doubt I'll find a shiny hot dog cart, you've talked me into making a small donation from what little money we have right now. Done. I never thought of it as supporting the community. I thought of it as paying for one guy's overpriced hosting. I can see your point so I made a small donation.
