Having opened your own point of sale of hot dogs, you can quite count on three hundred dollars of daily revenue. Not bad, isn't it? However, in addition to the hot dogs themselves, which are sausages in a dough (bun), you can sell pies, pancakes, pizza, boiled corn, donuts. In a word, everything that can be quickly wrapped around the cheek, chewed, satisfying hunger and having fun. In this article, we will take a closer look at the topic: “ How to open a hot dog outlet from scratch »On favorable terms.
About opening a point of sale of hot dogs
A hot dog must necessarily consist of a sausage (small sausage) sprinkled with ketchup (sauce) and a crispy bun. All this gastronomic splendor must be brought to a high temperature - a cold hot dog is nonsense.
Such a food product reached us from overseas (USA), where some time ago it was fashionable to eat with a quick hand. And since then, it has become very firmly established in the market. Hot dogs - delicious and hearty - favorite « delicacy»Travelers on the road and students sitting out boring lectures. Not surprisingly, you can find this hot dog dish at almost any railway station or student buffet.
Open a sales point selling hot buns with sausages in sauce, or a pancake - will not be difficult. Investment of funds is minimal, and profitability is maximal. After all, everyone wants to eat. This is not spiritual food for you, without which many go for years, decades, or even do not resort at all during their life. But bodily food has already become a real drug, and not many people can live without it even for several hours.
Accordingly, a successful business can be built on human weakness. There is no need to come up with something extraordinary. An ordinary diner is a real "gold mine", which has been practiced in Western countries for more than one hundred years.
To start a business, you need to choose a good place... And a place can be successful only on one basis - high traffic of people. Moreover, it does not matter whether they are businessmen or students. Both are always busy and do not have time for a full meal. Snack on the go hot dog for them - breakfast, lunch, and dinner are the ideal target audience.
In addition, it is very important that hot dogs are not only tasty (for this it is enough to fry the boots), but also healthy. And for this you have to try. For example, use whole grain instead of ordinary flour. State chicken eggs, replace with homemade eggs. And the sausages are imported from Germany and Austria. However, with this approach, you will lose customers. After all, the cost of such products will increase several times, which will inevitably force you to increase prices. And for a hot dog that costs two dollars - no one will pay, even if you explain to them that all the products used in hot dog production- natural. Well, our "brother" does not want to overpay for a healthy product, preferring to buy a cheap one, even if it is unhealthy. One gets the feeling that people want to send themselves to the next world as soon as possible, life is so unbearable ?!
Therefore, you can safely use low-quality flour of the first grade, refined sunflower oil, sausages from a local wholesale warehouse, a loaf of local cuisine - customers will only say thank you, or rather, they will buy a hot dog from you.
No business starts like this, just in words. It is necessary to draw up a detailed business plan, where everything will be described point by point:
- Kind of activity;
- place of trade;
- products;
- ingredients used and their cost;
- the price of the final product;
- equipment;
- employee salaries and so on.
Therefore, a lot of time should be devoted to drawing up a business plan. And best of all, adhere to the principle of the division of labor. If you are not good at economics and business planning, entrust this job to a professional. Make yourself a delicious hot dog recipe.
It is only worth noting that to open an outlet for the sale of hot dogs and related products, you will need not less than two thousand dollars.
Success requires placing a point in a crowded place. Although, if we are talking about a big city, where all the places are crowded, this advice can be viewed as a truism. It is quite another matter if you live in a small village - there is simply no need to look for a place - everything in the village is in plain sight.
The irony is that the larger the settlement, the more difficult it is to sell the product, since there are many competitors. Moreover, we are not necessarily talking about producers of hot dogs. Any distraction is already a big minus of potential customers for you. Only aggressive and viral advertising can save this situation.... There is no point in ordering expensive advertising in agencies. You can only be helped by His Majesty by chance, a coincidence. But all this reasoning is from the category of metaphysics. In fact, we have hundreds, thousands of hungry people who run to the diners during their lunch break. Why shouldn't your hot dog outlet become such a diner?
Simple arithmetic
Within a day, you can serve half a thousand satisfied customers... The cost of one hot dog is one dollar. Having made simple arithmetic calculations, we find that the daily amount of revenue, hypothetically, can be five hundred dollars. If you work in this mode every day for a month, the result will be an incredible figure - fifteen thousand dollars... However, this is only hypothetical. Who can work twenty-four hours a day for a month? Only a robot ?! For your diner to work around the clock, you will need at least two salespeople - and this is already five hundred dollars that go to wages. And if you add more expenses for rent, purchase of equipment, raw materials, then you can still deduct about two thousand dollars from the proceeds received. Even so, you still have fantastic ROI.
What you need to open a hot dog point
To open your own point of sale with hot dogs, you will need to follow these simple steps:
- register as an entrepreneur;
- collect documents from the sanitary epidemiology service;
- make a list of the offered products;
- make a merchant card;
- negotiate with suppliers;
- obtain a license to sell alcoholic beverages (if necessary);
- draw up a lease agreement.
Location and equipment
As mentioned above, the place for trade should be crowded (shopping malls, city parks, squares, beaches). As a point of sale, you can use a mobile barbecue cart.
Equipment for the production of hot dogs:
- gas and electric racks;
- barbecue machine;
- cafe trailer.
Your total equipment costs should not exceed three thousand dollars.
Wholesale purchase of products (raw materials) for the preparation of hot dogs:
- wieners and sausages - 200 kilograms per month;
- bakery products and cheese - 200 kilograms per month;
- fillers and seasonings - 20 kilograms per month;
- paper handkerchiefs - 5,000 pieces per month.
In total, it may take up to one and a half thousand dollars.
For a mobile stand, one salesperson will be enough, which may be you personally. In the case of a stationary point, it is recommended to hire two people - cashier and the seller.
Fast food has always been popular. Various types of food that you can buy and have a quick bite to eat without leaving the kiosk are popular because people in big cities do not have time to prepare food, especially when it comes to lunch, and for example, if you eat the same hot dog, you become full and strength appears to work further.

Skilled craftsmen come up with various variations of this dish, for example, instead of a roll, they use pita bread, prepare special sauces, or experiment with various fillings. All this attracts additional customers, which allows you to increase sales by improving customer service.
There are several main options for outlets:

In this business, the main thing is to find a good place where there are, for example, many students, and you will have to tinker with documents for trade in this format. Of the minuses of working on the street, it is most likely that in the winter season, sellers may not be comfortable trading because of the cold, but the installation of additional heaters solves this issue.
- sale of hot dogs on wheels. Usually, a finished product is sold in this format and, at the request of the client, sauces or other fillings can be added. For such work, a special cart with a thermo bag and equipment for making tea and coffee is purchased. The trade itself usually takes place in crowded places, such as local markets.

Adherents of sports and newfangled diets are waging an active war with fast food, criticizing such food in the media and on the Internet, as well as from TV screens.
However, dough sausages are popular in many countries and the hot dog business is highly profitable.
What is a hot dog?
A traditional hot dog is a sausage that is baked or fried in a dough, sometimes placed in a cut bun.
Often, additional ingredients are added to the bun. Usually it is a little grated cheese and some kind of greens: parsley, onion or dill.
Ketchup, mayonnaise or mustard are added to the top of the hot dog, taking into account the tastes of the buyer.
But now there are many options for what a hot dog for sale can consist of:
- sausage, small sausage is put as the main filling, and you can also put a cutlet or beefsteak in a bun;
- as additional ingredients, in addition to cheese and herbs, mushrooms, stewed onions and carrots, some kind of salad, for example, Korean, are also added.
A very promising type of business
The idea of opening a fast food outlet is very attractive, since this profitable business has many advantages:
- Sausages in dough are the most popular product and will always be in demand. The composition of this product can be easily varied by adding different fillings, which will help attract additional customers.
- The hot dog business is ideal for aspiring entrepreneurs. Moreover, this project does not need a large start-up capital. To start this business, 70,000 rubles will be enough.
- In this business, 90% of success depends on the right location. Therefore, it is necessary to study the catering market in a separate town, where it is planned to organize the sale of fast food.
How to start a business?
Before starting any business, a plan must be drawn up.
Here it is important not to be mistaken with the calculations, since you need to know the upcoming cash costs:
- first of all, you will need to buy special equipment;
- choose a good "through" place;
- make a list of the products you need and find reliable suppliers who will supply them at the best price.
There are several options for selling sausages in dough or buns:
- sale of hot dogs is possible from a regular cart under an umbrella;
- if the initial capital allows, the product can be sold from a trailed van on wheels;
- you can equip a fast food cafe.
It all depends on how much you plan to invest initially in this business.
If 50 thousand rubles are enough for selling from a cart, then investments for the equipment of a cafe can grow up to 500-700 thousand.
Grill is required for sausages in dough
The business plan should provide for the purchase of the necessary equipment.
To make hot dogs, you need a grill with an indentation that allows the product to come out in the desired shape.
The grill works quite simply:
- sausages are put in the apparatus;
- if necessary, add mushrooms, cheese or herbs;
- pour the dough of the desired consistency on the sausages;
- the grill lid is closed;
- after 1 min. the product is ready.
Specialized counters
If the initial capital is small, then you can use special mobile counters.
They cost from 45,000 to 70,000 rubles. True, you will have to use buns instead of dough.
There are two types of this equipment: electric and gas.
It is necessary to choose equipment, taking into account the location of the outlet:
- The electric counter has two steam containers. One of them is intended for warming up buns, and the other is for making sausages. In the lower part there are shelves and compartments in which it is convenient to store food; it also has a transparent display case. This wheeled counter is powered by the mains. The productivity of the equipment is 60 portions per hour.
- But it is not always possible to connect devices to the mains. In such cases, you can purchase equipment that runs on gas. The gas counter is similar in principle of operation and main characteristics to electrical equipment. Its plus is that this device is more mobile.
In addition to equipment, a mobile point of sale must also be provided with an umbrella from the sun and a chair for the seller. There must be paper napkins and bags.
How to arrange a business correctly?
You can start trading only after obtaining all the necessary permissions.
The seller must have a health book.
There is a whole list of necessary documents for maintaining such a meal:
- certificate of registration of a legal entity (LLC or individual entrepreneur);
- a permit for the sale of ready-made food products issued by the city administration;
- if the point will be located on the land of the municipality - a lease agreement with the administration;
- agreement on electricity supply, water supply and garbage disposal;
- the conclusion of Rospotrebnadzor and the list of manufactured products, which acts as an appendix to it;
- conclusion on compliance with fire safety standards;
- the act of registration of the cash register from the Federal Tax Service;
- product quality certificates provided by suppliers.
The outlet should only have copies of all documents that may be useful for any inspection by supervisory authorities. Keep the originals with you.
Where is the best place to organize trade?
It is best to sell hot dogs in crowded "walk-through" places.
Trade is going especially well on beaches and in parks, near train stations.
Students buy them with pleasure near educational institutions.
Calculation of profitability
A typical grill holds 6 hot dogs. It produces a maximum of 300 servings per hour. The most inexpensive device can be bought for only 2000-3000 rubles.
In total, 50-70 thousand rubles will be required for initial expenses.
Selling dough sausages is a pretty profitable business.
Their prime cost is 12-15 rubles, and you can sell them for 40-50 rubles.
This means that from the sale of each portion there will be a profit of 25-35 rubles.
If you sell 100 servings every day (this is the minimum in the "passable" place), then the net profit will be 2500-3500 rubles.
The monthly income will be from 75,000 to 100,000 rubles. That is, after 2 months, the initial investment will fully pay off.
Even these approximate calculations speak about the prospects of this business. The main thing is to choose the right place to sell fast food.

A hot dog is originally from the United States, but today almost every country in the world has its own, special variation with reference to the peculiarities of culture. For example, in a Swedish hot dog, mashed potatoes are used instead of a bun; in Australia, sausages are replaced with lobster.
The general principle is as follows:

Accompanying equipment includes:
- a refrigerator that stores sausages and toppings;
- gastronorm tabletop showcase. It is used to store and display the accompanying cuts that go to the main hot dog;

A few words about hot dogs
The popularity of hot dogs, one of the leaders of street fast food, needs no proof. This is a classic dish made from a long roll with a hot sausage in the cut and poured with ketchup, mustard or mayonnaise. The hot dog was invented in Germany, contrary to popular belief about the American origin of this sandwich. However, it was in the United States that sausage in dough gained the highest popularity among street fast food. According to some reports, the average American eats more than 60 hot dogs in just one year. Thanks to this, the annual turnover from the sale of sausages in the United States is about $ 1.7 billion.
Not only in America, but also in our country, hot dog is consumed by many people, especially students (due to the low price) and busy people who want to have a quick bite. This is why a properly organized hot dog business will always be a success.
And here are the main reasons:
- Sausage in dough, as a product is known to everyone, so it does not need additional advertising;
- It is an all-season product that is consumed both in hot and cold weather;
- In terms of quality, this is a highly competitive product, and due to the low cost of preparation, it is also competitive in price.
How much money does a hot dog business need
The initial investment depends a lot on the format you choose. There are several common formats for trading hot dogs:
1. Format of the trade counter (or mini-unit). The least expensive way to start a business. A fully equipped mobile gas counter will cost an entrepreneur 50-60 thousand rubles. This machine can cook steamed buns and sausages (up to 60 per hour). Plus, the cost of ingredients will be required. The main advantage of the retail counter format is the occupied area. To place a retail outlet you need only 2-3m2. This allows you to open a business in many high-traffic places: in cafeterias, gas stations, shopping centers, subways, sports and entertainment complexes, in educational institutions, cinemas and other high-traffic places. In addition, the small area allows significant rental savings. And thanks to the high mobility, you can easily change the place of deployment.
2. The second, more expensive format of a hot dog business is an autobuffet or a vending trailer. A more expensive, but at the same time, more profitable option, since in addition to the actual hot dogs in the autobuffet, you can also sell other types of fast food, as well as hot and cold drinks. A brand new commercial trailer with equipment for preparing hot dogs will cost about 400 thousand rubles. The variant with an autobuffet, with a chassis based on a GAZ car, will cost a businessman 600 thousand rubles. Autobuffets are located in highly passable places, near metro stations, shopping malls and markets.
3. The largest investments will be required to open a retail outlet on a food court site. This is rather not even a retail outlet, but a full-fledged cafe with the most extensive menu, the main dish of which is a hot sausage with a roll. Investments in this format start at 1.5 million rubles, since in addition to equipment, significant investments will be required in design, in the development of the concept and menu of the establishment, purchase of commercial furniture, etc. Food court sites are located in large shopping centers, hence the high costs of paying a deposit for renting premises. However, this is the most lucrative option, what is called a "real hot dog business."
The most expensive hot dog in the world was made with non-standard foods like truffle oil and foie gras. The cost of such a miracle sandwich was $ 145.5. The largest hot dog was prepared in Paraguay in 2011. Its length was 204 meters, and it weighed as much as 260 kilograms. Which was naturally included in the Guinness Book of Records.
What OKVED code to indicate when registering a business for trading Hot Dogs
The most optimal organizational and legal form of business for the sale of hot dogs is individual entrepreneurship. Registration of activities costs only 800 rubles and takes 5 working days from the date of filing an application with the tax authority at the place of residence. When filling out an application for registration, OKVED 55.30 "Activities of restaurants and cafes" is indicated, which includes the sale of culinary products by restaurants and cafes outside the enterprise.
Which taxation system to choose
As a taxation system for a hot dog business, it is most expedient to switch to a single imputed income tax (UTII). In this case, the entrepreneur is exempt from the obligation to install a cash register, pay income tax, property tax and VAT. The size of the tax will turn out to be "penny", since it is calculated on the basis of the retail space, which in our case is only 2-3m2 (if we are talking about a counter-type retail outlet).
To avoid problems with regulatory authorities and the police, every hot dog outlet must have the following documentation:
- Certificate of business registration and registration with the tax authority;
- SES notification of the start of activities;
- Documents confirming the origin of products and ingredients (invoices, receipts, contracts, etc.);
- Seller's medical card;
-
Lease agreement for a land plot or premises.
Staff recruitment
The portrait of the ideal hot dog shop assistant is an energetic and sociable woman, 35-50 years old. At least two sellers are required for one point. Labor compensation is usually a small salary plus a percentage of daily earnings. Thus, employees are interested in selling as many hot dogs as possible, because their income directly depends on this.
How to rent a room or plot of land
There should be no problems with renting free retail space that are privately owned - the main thing is that the parties agree on the price. But with the lease of a state site for the summer season, some entrepreneurs have problems. Let's say a businessman decided to open a hot dog outlet on one of the city streets, for example, from a car shop. In this case, you should visit the city administration, or, to be more precise, the city property management committee. There you will be asked to sketch the location of the area of interest and indicate its size. If this site really belongs to the state, then you just have to write an application and wait for you to be invited to conclude a temporary lease agreement. Why temporary? Because only a temporary contract exempts from the obligation to conduct tenders for the right to conclude a lease.
Which Franchise to Choose for a Hot Dog Trading Business
Those who have difficulty starting a hot dog business on their own can enter into a franchise agreement. Franchising has many benefits. First, you get a ready-made, effective business model, which means that the probability of "burnout" is minimized (according to statistics, more than 90% survives). Secondly, you do not need to think about what equipment to buy, what technology to produce the product and where to buy ingredients - the franchisee does everything for you. On your part, you only need finance to start a business and a desire to manage it.
1. When choosing a location for selling hot dogs on the street, pay attention to the places with the greatest traffic of people. And so that the cross-country ability was as little dependent on the weather as possible. With a good location, you can sell up to 500 dough sausages a day.
2. You can save on anything other than quality. The quality should be higher than that of the nearest competitors. 100% hit is when customers come to you from across the city.
3. Cleanliness - customers should only work and serve hot dogs with gloves. You should constantly monitor the condition of the counter, remove dust and dirt from it, not a drop of garbage should be nearby.
4. Products can be supplied from local meat processing plants and bakeries. The main thing is to find favorable terms of cooperation so that the final price of a hot dog is no more than 50% of the average market value.
