Reviews of the Top 'Start a Hot Dog Stand' Guides

Wouldn't it be great if you could get advice and guidance from an experienced hot dog business owner as you proceed to start your own hot dog stand? Well, these days you can.

There are several successful hot dog cart business owners who have put together startup guides that teach beginners how to start this kind of business the right way. Below I have set out reviews of two of the best hot dog stand startup guides, The Black Book of Hot Dog Stands and Hot Dog Cash. I also report on how these guides can help you to get started in this potentially lucrative business.

First Choice - The Black Book of Hot Dog Stands

This startup guide has been put together by Mat Chaudhry, who has had extensive experience running a chain of stands in the Seattle area.

After glancing at the sales page for The Black Book of Hot Dog Stands I was a little hesitant to get it, even though it has a glowing testimonial on it from industry veteran Will Hodgskiss from top cart manufacturer Willydogs. However my curiosity got the better of me and I went ahead and read though the complete guide and accompanying training material. I must say that I am glad that I did as the information contained within this course is top notch.

The author has set out a detailed report that includes everything that one would possibly need to start and manage a hot dog business the right way, while avoiding common mistakes along the way. Even experienced operators can benefit from the information that is covered.

This guide is strong on the practical side of running a hot dog stand as well as the business side. It offers you the kind of insider advice that you need to fast track your way to success in this business.

'The Black Book' gets straight to the point on licensing and regulations, getting set up, finding opportunities in the market and running a professional and profitable business.

Of particular interest to me was the detail that the author goes into about getting access to festivals and events and making the most of your access to huge volumes of hungry people.

An extensive section on menu planning and pricing guidance is included that also features a number of popular and secret recipes. Several free bonuses are currently included with 'The Black Book' including a health department plan review to assist you in the licensing process.

This superb information package is available in both print and digital versions. The digital version can be accessed by anyone around the world for only $27, making it exceptional value and an essential purchase for those considering buying a hot dog stand. The print version is available to customers in the US and is currently priced at $37 with free shipping.

Also Reviewed - Hot Dog Cash

If you have been looking around online for information about the hot dog business you will have no doubt come across some of the hype surrounding Hot Dog Cash.

To some extent this hype is justified and HotDog Cash certainly is a comprehensive product for those wanting tips, advice and insider information on running a profitable hot dog cart. It is an excellent product and in my opinion it rates alongside my top rated guide above in almost every possible way.

The only downside however is the price. This guide will cost you almost four times as much money as The Black Book of Hot Dog Stands and you are getting essentially the same information.

The author of this guide has also had extensive experience operating a chain of stands in Florida and has set out to pass his industry insights and tricks onto new players coming into the game.

While most of the chapter subjects are similar to our number one guide above this startup kit does have some nice features that make it unique. It comes with over three hours of audio recordings and includes a good number of business forms as well as some bonus personal development guides.

While there is a lot of overlap in the material for these two courses, Hot Dog Cash still offers something special to entrepreneurs wanting to start a hot dog stand.

It is well worth reading both of these guides if your budget will allow for it.
