Hey bro i would like to hear your other ideas and products I could incorporate into these waffles I know I could do a waffle dog but yeah I just bought all my equipment to do this waffle biz!! I'm going to try it and hopefully God willing just keep creating new and awesome foods from it. God Bless
Can you throw more light on this process please? Was it always a commercial kitchen? Or did you start in your home kitchen? How did you decide on packaging?
Your startup costs are very incomplete. you need a vehicle to transport food and equipment. tables or benches to work on, lighting if the venue is open after dark, signage, a tent or canopy to operate under ( you can't operate legally in most areas without one) gloves, aprons, insurance (any festival , farmers market etc. will insist on probably at least $1,000,000 in liability insurance and will want to be listed on the policy). You need cleaning supplies, and trash handling equipment. I have run concessions at hundreds of events over the years. start up costs, in my experience would be at lease four times what you are suggesting, assuming you will be using a vehicle you already own. That being said you can very quickly recover all of your start up costs, probably at the first weekend that you participate in. There are other expenses to consider, like the cost of food and supplies, rent for the event space etc. You also need to use a commercial base kitchen in many jurisdictions. Commercial kitchens need to be available for inspection without prior notice. A home or cottage kitchen raises issues with this, because the government is not allowed to mandate an inspection of a home. It violate your 4th amendment rights. In most states you will also need to have a certified food safety manager at each location you operate. This can also cos several hundred dollars per manager. You will also need workers comp insurance if you have employees. I like the idea very much. It's still a low startup cost, most if not all of the food products are non perishable, so if you don't need much if any refrigeration and if you get rained out, you are not discarding valuable food products.
From everything you posted, it feels discouraging and just too much trouble to try to get into vending at events such as fairs, festivals and markets ... or anywhere else for that matter. I heard that it isn't easy to just up and get a space at a festival or other big event whenever we feel like it. They have to accept you, right? I don't think they just let anyone get a space at a festival or other big event. This is also discouraging in that it would be hard to be a vendor at an event. So, we end up spending a lot of money for equipment, supplies and then go through the trouble of getting the proper licenses and permits, and then only to find out festivals & such may not even accept you? Plus, everything else you mentioned also seems be a heck of a lot of trouble (and expense) to get set up & going and also the proper legal compliance. I've been wanting to get into selling some type of food at events, but adding all this up, now I'm not feeling that great about it.
Thank you for the video. I'm buying a trailer this weekend 😃. I don't know what I want to sell. We live in a heavily populated Hispanic community and they have churro trucks....I wanna offer something new
I’m just getting the wheels turning for a jelly business, and want to expand to do things like granola, bars, and even ginger ale down the line! Ironically the toughest part is deciding on a name 😂 These videos I have to say substantiate what I’ve already researched and are super helpful and to-the-point!
Hello yes you should be able to do this anywhere. The equipment would be the same but honestly I don't know for sure what TYPE of license you would need, but may be similar to a concession food vendor license.
Where do you buy a tarp/small concession stand? 3 tables, a parasol and some cabinets? I'm pretty sure I don't need anything bigger than say, a lemonade type stand, but where would one buy one?
Furthermore, what are the logistics behind it? Like...do I make the batter in-situ or do I bring it from home? It'd be kind of hard to make it in-situ actually, but would I need to register my kitchen were I to make the batter at home? I'm pretty sure you can't in Oregon if you're gonna take it to a fair or something.
Thank u for the great idea... never heard of waffle on a stick....but im here for it.... will definitely check it out......was looking for something quick to make & sell..... Do I need a commercial kitchen if I make the waffle mix at my booth or at the event....?
I've had this business on my radar for more than a year. This is a highly profitable business and the item is what I call a "show food". Meaning when a person see someone w/the stick in their hand, they're going to ask where did they get it from. I made a list of items for what's needed and I looked at yours (which is missing quite a few key items like a mixer, table, etc). The machine you have linked is very low quality and won't last long, it's bottom tier so it's worth the investment to get a $200-250 machine. I would use a slightly better mix than one that can be found in any grocery store since people are familiar w/that brands taste. It's best to get something that event goers are going to be "wowwed" about. 100 sticks is definitely not enough for even a small event. I'd rather have too many sticks than not enough and run out and leave money on the table. Great video!
Hey Ken thanks for the fedback and yes your right actually on sveral pints for LARGER events the bigger purcashe makes the most sense. I was shooting for someone who has never done this and give them the basics and donw the road scale it to where you want it! Bets fofmlcuk to you I have 20 other concession videos coming !!
Regulatory agencies don't care what you cook and sell. What the do care about is food safety, Things like proper sanitation, no bare hand contact with ready to eat food, keeping food out of the temperature danger zone, hand washing and trash handling.
Selling food out of my kitchen and payment though cash app and buliding customers on line to buy the food and they have to do a pick would that be a good idea to sell my food?
Hello Brenda thanks for asking when selling food from homethere are certain foods allowed and those that require cooking normally are not . Like those with meat, seafood, etc they are concidered Potentially hazardous by the states here is a video I did on Maryland th-cam.com/video/tNKHFlZ-sIs/w-d-xo.html
So can this be done at fairs, markets and events with a tent and tables? Or perhaps a food cart. Could use a portable generator if no power is available. Would the health dept allow that?
I want to have food license or permit for food business I called the office I was told I have to have the commercial kitchen first and than do the License/permit. I did my food handlers card and than what. Please can someone advise me? Thanx
Some areas have professional kitchens that can be rented by the hour. Many businesses operate out on a single space. They are inspected kitchens. you need to schedule the time you need ahead of time. There is usually a monthly fee and hourly charges for time used. You usually need to guarantee a minimum number of hours per month that you will be using the kitchen.
thanks for asking you need a "food vendors licesnse" or "concession food permits" they go by different names in each state but something similar to the above
hello thanks we just uploaded actually 6 videos checkout the last 6 videos we made on our channel they are all for concession styled businesses hope they help
I have purchased a screened concession tent, do you have any tips on concession sink construction? Here in Mo. we have to have a 4 compartment sink. There are always festival fees, here even farmers markets have fees. I'm retired and want to supplement my income

Good Video 🤟
Im adding it yo my pizza shop.
You could add do much.
Bagged popcorn all flavors and fairyfloss. All bagged up no work
It can work.. I have a commercial kitchen and now have 13 products going into 109 stores. But I make much more than 16k.
That is awesome ! Did you make the commercial kitchen on your property?
Yes more info what type of license is needed
@@raneshabrown4110 manufacturing license , and health department inspection.
Can you throw more light on this process please? Was it always a commercial kitchen? Or did you start in your home kitchen? How did you decide on packaging?

Thnx for the info, funny how there isn't a video made with a clickbaity title for all this info as well.
Good info looking into starting something myself. Where did you vend out of
@@Blee622 I'm out of the business now after 30 years due to health reasons. I worked in Massachusetts and Rhode Island
I didn't see how much he paid for the toppings either.

hello, just wondering what you chose to sell in your new truck!?
Unless you are going to pay people under the table you have to account for payroll taxes and workers comp in many states
You set up your help as independent contractors.
That’s good information but what about paying rent for the place where you’ plan to set up shop?

Yummy bars
Great video except you didn’t mention the costs of the toppings which are much more than the 27 cents
How can I ship the waffles on a stick that have toppings like chocolate and nuts on them?
individually wrapped and during peak spring and summer with ice packs ship them as close to the production date as possible for freshness
Hey !! Do you think this would travel well. Like for uber eats/ Postmates ?
It could if delivered as soon as they are made. These are great when hot and crispy and just made, but yes you could actually good idea
Perfect idea..problem,there is no waffles machine in the link...!?
That’s good information but what about paying rent for the place where you’ plan to set up shop?
great question ! yes the amount spoken on the video is gross , but yes you need to take it into consideration
Can I make batter at home an then make it where I sell or do I have to make it there also where I sell in Texas? Thanks so much for your help
Cottage food laws are very strict in my state like Wisconsin where I live I still need a commercial kitchen to pretty much do this.
If you get a food truck the health dept will license you for that.
try the co-cooking space
@@sweetlyedenfarms coming up with food truck money ATM
I wish I could know if this could work in Ontario Canada, can it?
Hello yes you should be able to do this anywhere. The equipment would be the same but honestly I don't know for sure what TYPE of license you would need, but may be similar to a concession food vendor license.
Most farmers markets and craft fairs do not have electric outlets. What do you use to run the waffle maker?
You’d have to buy a generator
Where do you buy a tarp/small concession stand? 3 tables, a parasol and some cabinets? I'm pretty sure I don't need anything bigger than say, a lemonade type stand, but where would one buy one?
Furthermore, what are the logistics behind it? Like...do I make the batter in-situ or do I bring it from home?

love this! thank you
Thank you for the information. How would it affect if soft drinks would be sold with these?
Thank u for the great idea... never heard of waffle on a stick....but im here for it.... will definitely check it out......was looking for something quick to make & sell.....
Do I need a commercial kitchen if I make the waffle mix at my booth or at the event....?

Thank you Damien! Can you do this in a food cart?
This was a great idea, thanks for sharing.

What are power supply options?
Does anyone know if hotdog waffle is allowed with the concession laws?

You will have to have a concession sink?

th-cam.com/video/tNKHFlZ-sIs/w-d-xo.html
amazing content! thanks for sharing
How will this affect taxes? Or what's the best license to avoid IRS issues?
You avoid ‘IRS issues’ by taking out sales tax, and paying your taxes
Thank you for sharing...👏
I like your ideas
Also what do you think about making them ahead of time and freezing them?
then you need a commercial kitxh to store them
Bonus tips ftw
Thanks bud 😊
No problem 👍
Please update your links in the description, some of the products are no longer available. Thank you for all your information! It's very helpful!
What Myuh said
Do you need a commercial kitchen to do this from ?
yes it is always best to work fom a commercial kitchen ( from home is very limited)

Thank you so much good idea🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Most welcome 😊
So can this be done at fairs, markets and events with a tent and tables? Or perhaps a food cart. Could use a portable generator if no power is available. Would the health dept allow that?
Do you have any videos on theft prevention when hiring people in a biz like this?
Thank you that was so helpful
you're leaving out the rest of the equipment needed to get a permit, you basically need a concession trailer
How do you price your products. % of cost verses profit.
I want to have food license or permit for food business I called the office I was told I have to have the commercial kitchen first and than do the
License/permit. I did my food handlers card and than what.
Please can someone advise me? Thanx

Love this
Would love to see the other concession themed videos
Where are they?
