  • Hot dog vendors and street food vendors must have a commissary. It's required by every state. Some vendors get around it and some vendors have very strict rules with it. Georgia is no exception. Today I'll help you with solutions including making your own commissary on the cheap.

      GA can be a pain... but once you get through it... you're done. And less competition due to it being awful to start there.

    Found out here in South Carolina you do not need a commissary if you dont work a spot more then 3 days. If you move around to different areas you don't have to have one.

    Here around Raleigh NC the so called shared commissaries are charging up to $1,200/Month. One of them lists over 50 food trucks using them. That's fkn good money lol. I'm actually thinking more about spending the money to start a commissary first before I even start my cart.
    Just to add to that I don't have the money to do that, gonna get my dog cart soon and go from there, but dang it's something to consider in the future.

Don't know about your area but it's approved for us here in NC. I'm ok with that for now, but I'm looking into building my own commissary in the future!

    I live in the Asshat State...GA🤦🏾 where you have to be a owner of the kitchen and commissary. I didnt open the hot dog stand because I wasnt sure if I wanted to go that route anymore because of the red tape. I ended up opening a banquet hall instead. Now I'm thinking about adding a commercial kitchen to it just to be my own commissary. So I can snatch off that red tape and BOOOOM DROP THAT HOTDOG CONCESSION STAND. I want to do festivals and events.

    Hi Ben, Mike here from Hello Doggie working out of Central Wisconsin. In you opinion, should you have all you licensing and insurance in place before you ask for permission to use a commissary? This way you can show the commissary owner your legit. I know you advise to have all you all this in place when you ask to set your cart at a location. Thank you for all the great information on you site.

    • @BensCarts
      @BensCarts  3 роки тому +1

      I teach to have your insurance. You can get the business license first too but the vending license with the HD will have to wait on having a commissary most likely.

  • @jlevans1985
    @jlevans1985 3 роки тому +1

    washington state adjusted the regulations so you dont need a commissary if you have the required items in your food cart, but depending on the county they could require it. Arizona solved all this shit by just having one state license for mobile food vendors

After re reading His Program, Ben is not BSing, he literally gives you a script, you just have to get off your ass to do it.

    I need help finding a location. Ive been watching you for awhile now. I started Eazy's Street Food. Im licensed with my health department and insured with Flip and also got a business license. I work full time as a cook and that is also my commissary. They arent willing to work with my schedule so weekends are almost impossible for me to get off and that means events are out the door. Ive been looking for a location on a street here in Ellensburg Washington. Im offering chilli cheese dogs chilli cheese nachos, root beer floats, tacos, coffee, soda, chips, coffee. I have the flags and all my equipment like new im so anxious to get out there but i can't find a location i can afford..
