i'll take what is "trying too hard" for 1000, alex

how do you even make a profit from a $1 grilled cheese

>>17134778
cheapest bread available is $1 or less per loaf, one slice of american cheese per sandwich is probably like 10 cents a slice or less, cooked on a bicycle powered stove

>>17134758
It would work great but every single food truck owner is a greedy fuck and would charge no less than $6 a sandwich

>>17134787
you would have to sell 100 sandwiches to make $100 dollars and that's not including the money you spend on bread/cheese and on top of that the rent he pays for an event or street corner

I feel like this whole thing was done by a female "comedian".

>>17134833
*to make $100 FUCK

>>17134833
just sell 1,000 grilled cheese a day and be the only worker

>>17134833

This screams money laundering.
>hello, IRS. Yea so i never give any change back, and i have thousands of dollars a day cause people pay more than a dollar. Really... yea.

>>17134921
How do you not have $1?
How do you not have change?

>>17134758
The gimmick would be funny for a month.

>>17134937
i dont get paid in cash cause im not a poor or illegal

>>17134758
cash only with some creepy thing peering out of a window? it wont be very successful at all, little kids in the USA would toss the thing.

My friend who works in food service ordering food for a restaurant and I went over this, I think we managed to get the cost down to about $.55 a sandwich, which only leaves a profit of $.45 per sandwich. It's not feasible. I think we figured out that making a nicer sandwich for about $2.00 and selling it for $5.00 was a much better idea, since the time it took to cook was the exact same as the cheap sandwich and people were more likely to come back to the more expensive sandwich over time.

>>17134758
Friends and I would have tossed the thing when we were little kids in NYC.

It’s a good idea and was almost funny but they took the try hard cringe too far.

Business wise it couldn’t work because of the price of gas and ingredients. Even if you made 70 cents per sandwich if you had to make a repair that would set you back weeks.

>>17134972
Could be some trustafarian shit?

>>17134981
Most likely.

>>17134937
That's my point. Business can claim to be getting more money than a dollar (like 5 dollar bills) because people dont have change, or sell 5 sandwhiches in one go. Even if the cost of the sandwhich is less than 30 cents. It's perfect to launder cash.

>>17134969
>in NYC.
'eeey, I'm walkin' 'ere!

>>17134758
>how successful would this be in reality?
>$1
Not mad about the price but you'd come off as cheap and shitty and you couldn't make a decent product at that price anyway.

>>17134997
Grew up there but got out about ten years ago, I'm one of the lucky ones that got the fuck out. There's nothing useful in nyc anymore.

>I'll have one grilled cheese *wink* *wink* :^)

>>17134866
Checked and kek'd

>>17135054
>Wow, people downtown sure are friendly

I'm not buying a $1 grilled cheese with nothing.

>>17134937
About half the people out there no longer have change. They use plastic money in America now. Especially kids and immigrants.

>>17134758
Grilled cheese is quite popular here in southern Poland and we often eat it with cranberry jam, but damn man, the price starts from like $2,50 and I wouldn't buy anything below that ;_;

>>17134972
>>17134981
>>17134987
it's shopped retards

>>17134758
>how successful would this be in reality?
If that were real I could see how and why it would be parked outside a used trailer sales place.

>>17134857
thats two grilled cheese per minute

>>17134787
You're forgetting permits and insurance

all they have to do is sell mexican cokes for $5 as a novelty/'donation' incentive and most fuckers who eat at these things would thing it was cute and buy one

Lunch cart here has them for $2.

>>17134836
it looks like it was made by a 35 yr guy who thinks he's funny boomer dad

>>17134758
i know a local coffee shop that puts signs like this all over the store. the manager is a total dickhead and it's always 100% better when he's not there.

>>17135609
>100% pork free
>bacon
turkey bacon?

>>17135635
Ya for the muzzies

The problem (at least in the states) is city ordinances.

I WISH there was like a taco truck that drove around like the ice cream truck. I would run out at lunch and grab a burrito if it was good quality. I don't think they're legally allowed to do this.

>>17134758
fuck you

>>17134833
100 sandwiches in 10 hours is not a lot

Redditors would like it.
>LOL look at how badass and zany this food truck is, so epic. They don't even serve bacon haaha

>>17135627
someone who's 35 is a millennial

Would use at festivals to take advantage of free drugs

>>17135994
$100 in ten hours is not a lot either

>>17136028
zoomers call millennials boomers, get with the times gramps

>>17136088
No I don't want to be a gay faggot like you or your kind.

>>17136103
I'm gen X if it matters

>>17135175
The American grilled cheese refers to a grilled cheese sandwich, whereas the snack you're thinking of is a grilled piece of sheep cheese.

>>17136115
Also gay

>>17134758
>how successful would this be in reality?
Not at all.

Who the fuck would want to buy anything some asshole like that is trying to sell?

>>17136205
brah, you don't get it
it's IRONIC

>>17134758
seeing as the gimmick would work exactly the same at a 2 dollar price point he's literally retarded for charging a dollar and working twice as hard

>>17135541
So? If you have a big flat top griddle you could easily cook a dozen at a time.

>>17134758
>cash only
this dude is just begging to get robbed

>>17134758
isn't this like that beer that says if you don't like the taste then you are garbag and your taste buds are fucked for years of bad quality beer and shit?

Take a wild fucking guess sherlock.

this would be cute

>>17136629
THAT NEVER EXISTED CHUD

>>17136629
Not sure an icecream truck that threatens to severely burn its patrons would fly with children. I understand the concept you're going for but the issue here is clearly the troglodyte-tier aggression of the signage.

>>17136632
I'm pretty sure kids always liked ice-cream.

>>17134758
For me personally? Very. I’d come in and buy 5 every day, I’d gain 10,000 lbs but I don’t care I love me some grilled cheese

They need to add more options though, not adding tomato and bacon is pretty small brain, they could also add different cheeses and sauce for more money

>>17136632
>Ice cream trucks don’t exist
I still hear ice cream jingles in my area at every complex I’ve lived in

>>17136680
>>17136695
Absolute nonsense, complete fabrications. Physically and theoretically impossible.

>>17136698
>you didn't see ice cream trucks because they are not there!

I mean, come on. Honestly, does this look real to you?

>>17136632
>>17136698
>>17136725
Why are you doing this you schitzo? Why are you acting like ice cream trucks never existed. You have pictures of them, of course they were (are) real.

>>17136840
Photoshop has existed for as long as there've been photos.
You believe the lies.

>>17135172
right I’m sure that’s exclusive to america last time I was in london all the pubs I went to they treated me like I was an idiot for paying with bank notes and everyone else was paying for their drinks one at a time with chip cards

>>17136840
>

>>17136878
That’s because it’s London and no one carries cash there incase your mugged retard. Go to most other areas of the UK and cash is still popular

>>17134778
He says on the back he's doing it for his own amusement.

>selling grilled cheese to fund their strip club habit

what about an "all-day breakfast" cart? selling pancakes, bacon/sausage and egg muffins, hash browns from morning to night?

I used to dream of doing something like this. Basically a single item menu with a vegan variation and maybe two choices of side and a few minor options on toppings/garnish/condiments mainly built around bougie, but economical drinks. Like chili and/or loaded nachos and/or dressed baked potatoes and/or garlic and sundried tomato sourdough at $5 a plate and $2 old fashioneds with a range of low end whisky or $3 ones with a selection of premium ones. Throw in some 'craft' soda and a dessert collaboration (friday through sunday only) and I'm about done. Thing is ... this is basically the food truck model with a higher operating cost and it only works with volume and when you work out the volume required you realise you are basically creating the job from hell just to break even. Like you'd have to seat a hundred people an hour. It does not make sense to cap your dollar spend per person, if anything you should be seeking to maximise it because the fixed cost per person remains the same whether ordering three courses plus a drink costs $15 or $150.

>>17136851
For the love of fuck, get some help. The earliest photographs were invented in the 1820s. The first version of Photoshop was released in 1990. So, photographs existed for 170-ish years before the advent of Photoshop.

>>17137796
You're the only one here that needs help. Stop taking everything seriously. Even if he is serious fuck it why waste so much of your time? You need a hobby

>>17134921
Why the fuck do you think not giving change means he doesn’t report his income?

>>17134758
wouldnt pass inspection at any reputable event. if he has a griddle, he needs a hood and suppression.

>>17134758
if all text except for "$1 grilled cheese" was removed it would be quite based. however, as it stands, cringe

>>17137876
Maybe his hobby is responding to bait on 4channel?

>>17134758
Lel, I'd totally get a grilled cheese from that dude.

>>17137796
But photo shops are as old as photography, and people have been faking images in the darkroom since the calotype was invented.

>>17134833
As a fatty-pants I'd probably order 2 for lunch.
I bet other people would order 2 at a time as well.
Park outside of a 60 person office I bet you'd sell 100 grilled cheeses.

>>17137426
>a range of low end whisky
Hahahaha
Imagine trying to operate a liquor license out of a food truck

>>17135172
I was putting change into a self-checkout recently and a front end leader tried telling me the machine didn't take cash. Well it was. Because the balance was decreasing. Places try to force you to use cards in the US now, it's fucked

>>17134758
>I don't have Venmo because I'm not some teenage asshole who vapes
Okay I laughed. Not sure that this is a good business model however

>>17138442
it costs about a dollar to run a credit card for small businesses its not worth it

>>17138451
>>17138442
Idk why but this just reminded me how retarded Americans really are. Worked for my dad's shop as a mechanic and after years of trying to convince him to get a card machine he finally did because we lost out an exhaust job to Firestone who quoted the dum cunt 300 dollars what we told her we could do for under 250 because she wanted to get her miles or something. Fuck I hate people

>>17137876
It's just trolls trolling trolls. Some pretending that ice-cream trucks aren't real. Some pretending to be extremely trolled by that. This is all done in a spirt of cheekiness though.

I want to see what would happen if you dropped this into a large festival. If I was throwing Coachella I'd pay this guy to be there.

>>17139910
I want to see what would happen to a large festival if there was a zero drug tolerance policy strictly enforced.

>>17139914
The federal government can't keep drugs out of prisons and you believe a festival crew could.

make South Korean street snacks, lots of money in it.

my uncle opened one and is making mad money, almost ROI during a pandemic.

>>17139914
found the faggot friendless loser that never got invited to parties
