1904: The hot dog on a bun is probably introduced during the St. Louis "Louisiana Purchase Exposition" by a Bavarian concessionaire named Anton Feuchtwanger.  He lends white gloves to patrons to handle the steaming sausages.  When the gloves are not returned, he asks his patrons to handle the steaming sausages.  When the gloves are not returned, he asks his brother-in-law, a baker to  help.  The resulting form-fitting roll becomes the hot dog bun.

1936: Oscar Mayer rolls out the first Wiener mobile, carrying a 4-foot, 6-inch man named Meinhart Raabe, who came to be known as Little Oscar.

HEALTH DEPARTMENT BASICS

Your local health department already knows what it takes to operate a mobile food vending cart in your area.  After you have read through the information in this section it is strongly recommended that you set-up an appointment with a health inspector in your area to determine if any additional requirements must be met.  The following list offers some advice to help speed you through the Health Permit process.  The Model 2004 meets about 90% of the current health codes around the globe, however sometimes a few simple additions are required by your local Health Department to meet with their codes.

• Print the schematics of our carts so you will have copies to take with you when you visit your health inspector.

• Printing copies of the Model 2004 specs may also help your inspector to determine your needs.

• When you visit with the inspector, listen carefully to everything they say.  You may be able to obtain a free copy of their health codes on vending carts if you smile and ask really nice "-).

• If your health inspector has particular questions pertaining to our cart they may contact us directly at 1-800-268-9910 or we can fax them any needed information by request.

• If you are planning on purchasing add-on equipment such as grills, griddles, deep fryers, pop-corn or cotton candy machines...etc.  Ask your inspector about the codes on these items.

• Ask your inspector if there are any restrictions as to where you can and cannot vend.  If they aren't sure maybe they can point you in the directions of a person that does.

Two of the most important things you can do is listen and take good notes pertaining to anything your health inspector may say.  Keeping good notes will make it easier to convey any special requirements or questions to your personal consultant at All American Hot dog Carts.  Our carts can be customized to fit the needs of 99.9% of the health regulations worldwide if necessary.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

To be successful in the Hot Dog Vending Industry, you will need to be reliable.  If you have a location that you service 5 days a week, your clientele will depend on you to be there on those 5 days.  If you are not there when you are supposed to be, chances are you will lose some of your most loyal customers.

Cleanliness is a Very Important Aspect of Vending.  If you and your cart are not clean and presentable, chances are you will not be very profitable.

If you wish to add advertisements, menus, etc to your cart, print the item then cover it with plexi-glass and attach it to the cart with velcro.  This will allow the sign to be removed for transporting and easy cleaning.

GOOD LUCK!!
