Description
Are you charging too little for your hot dogs, lemonade, kettle corn, or other street food? Rising food costs are squeezing vendors, but raising your prices doesn't have to mean losing customers.
I've been in the hot dog vending business for over 20 years, and I've watched vendors struggle because they're afraid to charge what their food is worth.
In this video, I share a story about when I raised my hot dog prices from $2 to $3 and actually gained customers!
We also talk about:
Why cheap prices can hurt your street food business.
How to raise prices without apologizing to customers.
Why hot dog carts can do well during tough economic times.
How to simplify your menu and eliminate poor sellers.
Why tracking daily sales can reveal your best locations and days.
How small extras can make customers feel they're getting more value.
Why winter vending can offer opportunities with less competition.
Whether you're starting a hot dog cart business or already selling street food, your pricing can make the difference between making a living and barely surviving.
