Hot Dog Cart Season is Always in Season

If you think the it is too late to buy your first hot dog cart think again. The best time to buy your new business is when the season is slowing down and people are beginning to plan for next year's events. Most event planners begin planning their events at least a year in advance for a successful event. Hot Dog Vendors in the US and other countries need to plan their event calendar the same way. Every event you want to rebook should go down in your calendar of events fist. Then call and send emails all winter long trying to book the calendar as full as you possibly can stand it for the following year. I would not recommend booking too many events prior to March or you could end up running your hot dog cart in the snow if you live in the Midwest or Fort Wayne, Indiana. If you want to know more about the hot dog cart business, call Osborne's Dreammaker Hot Dog Carts in Fort Wayne Indiana. Our experts have been running successful businesses for years and years now. We still operate a hot dog cart locally and have a blast at some events. This month will be going on the road to Columbus and to Michigan and back again to Aetna with our Tasty Taco Wagon. You never know where you will see us next but you can be sure that we will bring the most innovative hot dog vendor cart in the industry and our food will be good and hot just like our customers like it.

Labor Day Activities in the Dog House

It was a very busy Labor Day Week at Ds,  and at the Doggies Gourmet Hot Dog Mobile Food Cart. We set up in Auburn, Indiana at the Antique Auto Auction newly owned and hosted by Auctions America on Wednesday. The heat rolled in and started heating up our hot dog buns almost immediately. Even though heat index was projected to be in excess of 100 each day for 3 days straight we got to work. We knew that the show must go on, even if we expected the worst and acted like we were out to give our best. The best is what we gave them, the worst is how we felt but you could never tell by the smiles on our face as we saw our regular customers roll up to our little hot dog cart by the pond in it's 10th anniversary showing. We relished each customer, one and all. As they got to the front of the line and smiled and said give me one..burn it as always and aked "do you remember me?" Of course, I remember most of my customers who have been faithful out there over the years. Do I remember their names...? Honestly, no. Do I remember their kind faces or their smiles? Of course I do, I even remember their food requests. I remember that they like my smoked sausage the best, majority like burnt dogs, this weenie wagon is not for kids by any means. Most of the hot dog cart customers noticed that we had a new innovative hot dog cart, yes... this hot dog cart was manufactured by Dreammaker Hot Dog Carts, Indiana, owned by Osborne. It boasts of 2 large storage drawers, a nice stainless grill to burn dogs on, 2 full size steam tables that held the temperatures well. a full size customer service shelf and a back prep shelf for the 2nd operator. In fact my cart  was so well planned out that I was able to reduce my labor from 4 people to just 2 people in the front and one prep person in the back saving me labor. One plus was the bun warming drawer, the prep person was able to roll dogs in foil wrappers and fill the bun drawers with the buns as I slipped them quickly into the steamer unit for just a few seconds. Our customers commented on how tasty their steamed buns were and how well they loved the new operation. Although they did miss the brightly colored hot dog cart that looked like a bun they did not miss the smile on my face or our food which is so famous at the Auctions America Auction Park in Auburn Indiana. Some say that the Antique cars are the draw for customers there...we like to think that the little hot dog cart in front of the pond area for the last 10 years is the draw for some nationwide from Florida to Wisconsin, to Michigan, Ohio and Indiana.

Our dogs were hot, our feet were barking, we couldn't keep up on the sunscreen or ahead of the dehydration as temperatures exceeded that triple digit heat index but the tired smile on our face displayed the love of our time ... our tradition at the Auctions America. Sales were down, over 60% but spirits soared and our customers were so happy to see us. It is encouraging to be so loved by your customers. The money wasn't enough to pay the rent or retire on, that is for sure but we will continue to come back as long as they want us and our hot dogs.

To all of our faithful customers, from shytown, Danny, Don, Hoot, Steve, and our neighbor vendors like Jim-the sunglass man, fi-fi's momma and brother.. We love you all, May God keep you all safe until next Labor Day weekend where we have been meeting and falling in love with all of you at the hot dog cart by the pond for the last 10 years.
