Things You'll Need

• Considering being a food vendor

Instructions

1. Decide on what food you would like to vend. A food vendor can be a complex vend such as a bbq menu, hot dogs, or even something simple like ice cream. Each food to vend comes with the pluses and minuses of the business, so it is important to find out what you personally like so you can sell it easy.

2. You need a contraption to vend out of and that means you need a food cart, concession trailer or kiosk to attract customers and serve the food properly.

3. Once you have your cart, you need to get your licenses and permits. From insurance to the health department to a business license and a working permit you need to be 'street legal.'

4. To find a good customer base for your food vendor concession, you need to find a location. Scouting the area for the best location is the next step for the food vendor.

5. Finally, after all your prep work is done, it is time to get ready to start selling your food vend materials to your customers.
