No matter what type of catering van you are looking for, you will want to find the right one at the right price.
Don’t buy new if you are just starting out!
The best way to start out is to start cheap. You’ll begin to make an income no matter what kind of stand you have and the great thing about this industry is that you can sell you stand on at any time as there are thousands of people looking for good quality concession carts and hot dog stands.
So where do you look for the best second hand ones – well Craigslist is a great place to start. There are also a number of online vending forums that will have a few on offer. Another way to search online is to put in online classifieds. This generally pulls up the most popular including Craigslist and Backpages.
Ebay is also another great option. If you want to think a little outside of the box, you could purchase a classic tearshaped trailer and convert it – this sort of thing draws a lot of attention and could be a real crowd puller.
What about Brand New Carts?
There are so many great places to find new carts if you have the money and know what kind of vending is going to suit you the best.
When buying new take into consideration that your catering van needs to cater for your needs as well as those of the cutomer. Depending on the type of weather you are likely to encounter and how many hours of direct sunlight you are going to experience are all factors to consider.
You also want to make sure that you have good lock and go facilities in case you need to make a quick dash to the bathroom, that’s if you don’t have someone who can stand in for you. Thinking about all this is vital before you spend a lot of money.
