    Hello, i am not wanting to set up a business or do anything long term, I was taking to the wife and we had a decision, who could be be the better sales person for ONE day, who could sell the most hot dogs, we both have food hygiene certificate level 2 and other we did a full catering course and got a number of certificates,
    We wanted to set up,, well walk around a sell hot dogs for ONE day who ever had the most money at the end of the win the bet, we both work and are not interested in doing this for a living as we have really good jobs that we love,
    I have tried looking for the information I need but it’s all seems to be a gray area,
    can we sell hot dogs for a day with out gett8ng in any trouble

    Thank you for reading

    It will get reported the next day the inspectors will be out and you will be gone :eek:

    Some of us on here have been married for a very long time and while this advice is not business related you could
    Go for a nice meal and a few bottles of wine
    Long walk in the countryside
    long drive in the mountains or on the moors with the roof down on a nice day
    A holiday in the med
    A trip to London
    A trip to Paris
    Cardiff is good

    What would you like to do with your wife ?
    Sell some hotdogs :):)

    You could copy Mr C.M.O.T Dibbler - selling pig products to people who have purchased his sausage in a bun before.

    Walking around selling hot dogs - you of course will have fresh buns, appropriate condiments and sausages that you have cooked to right temperature and keep hot?
    Must admit I have come across hot dog sellers hundreds of times. Never come across any walking in public with their wares outside.

    There was a bloke locally a few years back. I think he lasted a month before he got a proper cart and stayed in the same place

    So what does the winner get?

    (Tip - the wife and I bet over BJs. We might argue over something silly in public and then call one another's bluff and say "OK, five minutes and you're on!" and shake hands on the bet. Onlookers wonder what the hell we're on about!)

    Personally, I get it... it's the challenge more than anything.

    May I suggest you contact a couple of close by town/village halls that have a food and makers market Sunday's once a month. Do it in two separate towns that way the competition is easier for both yet gives you both a chance of selling your product, whomever gets home with the most sales wins :)

    When filling out the forms for the traders market you'll most probably be asked the following

    1. Copy Insurance Policy – ALL TRADERS
    2. Photograph of products – ALL TRADERS
    3. Risk Assessment ( we do have a template if you do not have one) ALL TRADERS
    4. Food Safety documents (Applicable Food Traders)
    5. Gas Safety Certificate (Traders using Gas)
    6. TENS license to be supplied prior to the event (Traders selling alcohol)
    Plus whatever other questions on the form that would be relevant to you.

    You could grab one of these...

    One do one day, the other do the other day

    and hope you don't get stopped for street selling...

    otherwise, there goes your profits ;)

    In that case tell your wife to join up here and ask the same question and I will suggest to her that she stands outside a football stadium on a Saturday afternoon and she'll beat you hands down :D

    thank you for your reply we will only be selling for a day probably half a day, hopefully the place where we plan on selling isn’t filled with people like some of these on here or me and Amy wife will end up with a 20 year prison sentence,[/QUOTE]

    I've thought about buying some donuts and choc chip muffins from Aldi, splitting the packets and re-selling for £1.00 each on the markets... but I just couldn't do it in the end... couldn't be bothered with the rigmarole of the insurance :D

    Could have been worse :)


    Out of interest, what kind of hot dogs are you looking to use? :)

    Personally, I don't like the ones in jars or tins... they don't taste as nice as the proper hot dog (Frankfurters)... I love a nice hot dog with chilli, cheese and crispy onions...

    But... between a frankie and a bratwurst... wooahhhhh a bratwurst wins hands down!! :D
