Up until recently there has not been much in the way of free information online for entrepreneurs wanting to start a hot dog stand. While this business is not the most complicated there are nevertheless things that you need to know before you are able to start up successfully and run a profitable business.
There is now a free guide to the hot dog stand business that is available on Scribd. At more than 40 pages it is fairly detailed and takes you through many of the aspects associated with setting up and managing a successful cart or chain of stands. Check out the link here.

Hot Dog Stand Business Forums
One great way to learn about the hot dog business is to interact with others who are in the same situation online. Online forums or bulletin boards give you the chance to chat to other newcomers to the business as well as have a chance to get advice and recommendations from those who are already successful.
Unfortunately, for those in the hot dog cart industry there are not really a lot of sites online to interact with others. Probably the best one is the hot dog vendor’s forum on Roadfood.com.

Hot Dog Business Training with Hot Dog University
You have probably heard of the Hamburger University’ that has been run by Mc Donald’s for many years. Well, now the hot dog vending industry has its own training program called ‘Hot Dog University’.
Hot Dog U offers a comprehensive training program to students wanting to know how to set up and manage a hot dog stand. The program includes modules on purchasing and setting up a cart, ordering inventory and of course, how to cook delicious hot dogs that will keep locals coming back for more.
This course includes time in the classroom going over theory as well as practical activities. Students actually get some hands on experience as they set up a stand, cook hot dogs and work a busy cart over the lunchtime rush. A tour of the Vienna Beef plant is also included. Class sizes are generally under ten students.
The only downside is that the course is held in Chicago so you may have to travel some distance. It also costs $699, making it much more expensive than some of the other hot dog business training programs that you can buy online.
