Food Business Ideas

[Anonymous No.17328423]

I have a passion for food and cooking. I think I'm a pretty good cook for being self taught and i'm sick of working for other people.

I'm thinking about starting small and opening a small food cart or something along those lines. What type of food do you think would sell well from a cart that isn't entirely tapped out? Any business considerations to think of? In my state I would likely have to rent commissary space for a kitchen.

>pic unrelated, country fried steak i made a while back

Did you make some crab cakes and potatoes for your boyfriend last year?

Anyways, you should sell burgers at your food cart. They're one of the most universally appealing foods you can have in this country, and I doubt it would be too difficult to have a little grill set up to grill the patties. They're fun, customizable and cheap. You might have lots of competition with burgers though, but if not it would be a good investment

I recommend that you continue to cook as a hobby, while working professionally in a more lucrative field.

Okay thanks anon. Something to chew on. I live in a city with a very high caribbean hispanic population and I was thinking about making some white boy takes on popular puerto rican frituras and cuban pastelitos.

Thinking the same thing OP. Im gonna try to sell Korean Corn Dogs, they're delicious and the only ones you can get around here are over 35 mins away. So I'm gonna try to sell them around where I live.

French style omelettes with a rotating seasonal add on menu.

6-8 new ingredients every 4 months.
3 or 4 combos designed by chef.
Farm fresh eggs.
High quality local cheeses.
Choice between classic or country style.
Maybe choice of how well done it is also.

I feel like lunch items sell better than deserts. I live in the south so i could sell all year round more or less. I've also only made ice cream a few times.

I'm thinking this would initially just be something to pad my income for a while. A local commissary only charges 175 a month for rent.

Man, I like that idea. Easy markup and quick turnaround.

Best of luck to you, anon. I'd really love to do something like this. My wife sells stuff on etsy and made like 12 grand last year doing it. I'm not always one to monetize a passion, but with something like food you want to share it with people.

That sounds fun but I'm not sure it would be successful, but maybe the hispanics would really like it and give you tons of business. As generic and boring as it sounds, tacos or burritos would be way better to sell if you wanna do hispanic stuff because everyone is familiar with those. No one knows about frituras or pastelitos unless they are already familiar with Puerto Rican/Cuban cuisine.

Right? I almost pursued the idea. It seems to be fairly novel for a single item food truck.

Not sure about the viability of serving them for lunch. I do love a delicious omelette after getting a little drunk, so maybe it could work for more than just breakfast.

>cart
What state? It really gets complicated in big cities.

Just start serving a cafeteria style meal. Don't even have to go fancy, just go affordable. Aim for public school lunch tier. Most people are just done with cooking, the hassle isn't worth it anymore. It's a niche that just doesn't exist.

I made peanut butter fudge today for no reason and it cam out pretty good. It’s also stupidly simple, which makes me wonder why it’s always so relatively expensive when I see for sale at a gas station.

This begs the question why are you saving year old pictures of dinners made by faggots.

You want to make a jarred or canned product and sell it at fairs and markets. Selling plates on demand has no upside, selling a product at least has a chance of eventually expanding your market.
