The fact is, when done right, the mobile concession trailers business can bring you a SUBSTANTIAL income and allows you to see some different scenery every day, meet new interesting people, and have a GREAT time doing something you ENJOY for a living, instead of working like a dog in a kitchen for someone else…

A concession trailers business today looks nothing like it did 20 or 30 years ago. Gone are the days of the beat up looking concession stands, vehicles, carts and trailers.

Today they’ve been replaced with professional looking sleek mobile concession trailers with highly customized paint jobs, professional logos and menus that would put even some restaurants to shame, because as times goes by, regulations to sell food tighten…

I believe laws and regulations will FOREVER be tightening and changing, it’s just the natural direction of every industry throughout time. New laws pass all the time and naturally things just change in every business.

Letting them beat you or get to you is simply unproductive, absorbing these as natural parts of the business and altering your business along the way will get you through the hurdles or  ‘legal resistance’ as I call them.

I heard a story of a woman wanting to sell food from her mobile concession trailer business from a Wal-Mart parking lot. Countless systems, restrictions and hurdles got in her way but she altered her approach and was determined to make money from her mobile concession trailers…

She set up her mobile concession trailers business as a ‘charity’ in which all the proceeds go to charity and paid herself a NICE income from the concession trailers sales and income. Pretty smart, and a GREAT example of how you can overcome ‘legal resistance’.

Today, mobile concession trailers have legal guidelines to abide by and laws and rules to follow to make sure the public is safe from ‘cowboy’ sub-par concessions businesses that aren’t safe for the public’s consumption…

No longer can you just prepare food in your kitchen and wheel it out to your mobile concession trailers unless you have a commercially health-checked kitchen, which is called a Commissary.

Mobile Concession Trailers ‘Legal Resistance’

A common problem in the mobile concession trailers business is getting LEGALLY set up in business, and it’s usually down to getting access to a REGISTERED food commissary which allows you to prepare foods and clean you utensils and any other food appliances.

The problem is commercial kitchens can be very expensive to rent and most restaurants don’t want you getting in their way. Unless you own one or know any restaurant owners willing to let you use their kitchen as a commissary, this can stop you dead in your tracks…

A cunning fast-track solution…

The cheapest and fastest route is to use churches and village halls!

Yes. These local community establishments all have industrial health-checked kitchens that are HARDLY EVER USED. Many churches and other community organizations have commercial kitchens just sitting there getting used one a week at meetings.

In exchange, you could offer to do extra work for their organizations, or provide food for their monthly meetings, or special events. Either way, you can bypass a lot of red tape by using the health-checked facilities of others.

Depending what country you’re in, you may be able to find commercial commissary facilities.

These places are usually in the USA and have everything you’ll need for your mobile concession trailers. These commissaries allow you to do all of your kitchen work in a registered commissary and many of these facilities stock and sell foods you buy and can use in your day to day business…

When searching through concession trailers for sale, there’s some fundamental ‘assets’ to look out for that make a good concession trailer business and prove to be a sound investment.

The Fundamentals When Buying Used Concession Trailers for Sale

The Interior Surfaces

The surfaces on the proposed concession trailers for sale must be easy to clean. This includes food preparation surfaces and the walls of the unit adjacent to the food preparation areas. Food preparation table-top surfaces are often made from stainless steel, whilst the walls will usually be made of an easy to clean laminate.

A Hot & Cold Water System

An efficient water system with a good pump, working taps and good drainage system is an important factor when it comes to health and safety. In some cases, councils and health and safety departments will require you have at least one basin for washing your hands, which cannot be used for any other purpose.

Refrigeration & Gas Equipment

Check that all the used concession trailers refrigeration and any hot plates and gas equipment are fully working. Check to see if any equipment comes with manufacturer warranties. Some regions may even require electrical sticker certificates on the plugs to certify they are safe as any gas appliances will also come with certification which you need to check is up to date.

First-aid kit & Fire Equipment

As you may be aware, the food industry have specialised blue plasters that are usually required as they stick out much more. If the unit you are looking at doesn’t have a first-aid kit you can get hold of them pretty easily for next to nothing but again this is a must in most areas. In terms of fire equipment, all that is needed is a mini extinguisher or compact fire blanket and again these can be picked up for next to nothing at most online and offline shops.

Visual Noise

When looking through used concession trailers for sale remember that ‘FLASH is CASH’. Your concession trailer will need to stand out in a crown and ATTRACT customers at outdoor events and permanent pitches you secure for the business. Be sure to look for good signage opportunities, this means looking to see if the concession trailer has fold out menu’s, any kind of roof awnings or large signs that extent from the concession trailer etc.

Many new and used concession trailers for sale will actually come in blank white. You’re gonna want to change this fast using some printed vinyl or local sign makers. Sprucing up any new or used concession trailers for sale will often DOUBLE the value of your concession trailer and of course make a MUCH bigger impact on attracting customers to your mobile food outlet.

Buying Used Concession Trailers for Sale at GREAT Prices in 6 Easy Steps

When it comes to looking through new and used concession trailers for sale remember that prices are ALWAYS negotiable. When buying new or even when buying from a manufacturer you can often negotiate on payment terms and spread the payment over months or years.

Here is my short 6 step action plan to follow when buying or considering any concession trailers for sale for your mobile food business.

One: Planning your concession trailer business

Planning your concession trailer business is one of the key factors to your success, before buying or looking at any concession trailers for sale, be sure to create a mobile food business plan. A recent study showed that over 80% of businesses FAIL because they DONT have a business plan.

I don’t want you to join that percentage…

Get a good concession trailer business plan and know where you will be located, the target market you will be aiming for, how you will attract those prospects and list out the business financials such as monthly income and outgoings. This will help out a TON when raising your capital and assist in the early concession trailer business planning stages.

Two: Choosing from the concession trailers for sale

Your menu will require certain types of concession trailer equipment, if you’re doing burgers you’ll need a hot plate or ‘griddle’, if selling cold drinks you’ll most likely want a fridge or cold display unit.

KNOWING this stuff you can narrow down your search from the hoards of concession trailers for sale and focus on the ones that already COME with the catering equipment you actually need.

Three: Discuss the essential details of any used concession trailers for sale

Before going in person to view the used concession trailer for sale, discuss as many details as possible over the phone first, instead of wasting time travelling around looking at ‘dud’ concession trailers for sale.

Essential questions to include…

Ask the reason for selling.

Ask if the wheels, tyres, frame and chasis in good condition and if they have any rust.

Ask what’s included and ask if there are any bonus items included like stock or signage etc.

Ask if the used concession trailer is clean and presentable.

Ask if all of the appliances can be DEMONSTRATED working when you go for a viewing.

And be sure to ask is they are willing to negotiate on price or terms.

Four: Arrange a Viewing and inspect the used concession trailer

Once you’ve narrowed some concession trailers for sale down to a final few that you like the look of, arrange a viewing with the seller. Go look at the used concession trailer with a ‘business mindset’, remember, you’re making a BIG purchase here, we want to look at the used concession trailer as a business asset. Look at the trailer with a ‘legal mindset’ too, check that all electrical and gas appliances and certified and up to date.

Five: Talk over the price and make clear you’re on a budget

When you’re ready to buy, come across as an entrepreneur with a keen interest to take the concession trailer to the next level of success, however you’re on somewhat of a budget.

It’s MUCH easier to negotiate when you use a ‘budget’ as the REASON you need to lower the price, instead of trying to haggle aggressively and tell the seller that their concession trailer for sale isn’t really worth that much, people hate that. Be polite, create a little common ground and negotiate like a pro.

Six: Educate yourself NOW…so you can avoid costly mistakes in the future

There’s a saying that a man who represent’s himself in court, is a FOOL. You and I know that people who ignore instructions FAIL and mess up all the time. In your concession trailer business, mistakes can be VERY expensive.

Setting up in unprofitable locations, not marketing to the right crowds effectively, selling the wrong food and drinks and a TON of other costly mistakes put new and existing mobile food vendors out of business EVERY YEAR…

The truth is, you can AVOID THESE COSTLY MISTAKES NOW

It took me years of trial and error to find out what really WORKS in the mobile food industry.

Repeat: it took me YEARS.

Years of trials and error.

Every time I found something that DID work, I took the idea, refined it, and wrote it down, then worked on it some more.

I collected and organised it all into a MASTERY SYSTEM that literally anyone can use to start and grow their own concession trailer business. It’s called Mobile Catering Mastery and it contains literally hundreds of great tips, tricks, techniques and business systems you can set to work in your own concessions business starting TODAY.

Most of the time we don’t even see it happening, but there it is. This covert, under-the-radar sales trick literally makes BILLIONS for food business around the world, and guess what…it works for food trailers too. So what is it?

The UP-SELL

Up-selling is all about offering customers additional items when they place their orders. This can be more expensive (or profitable) food items, larger sizes or other foods and drinks that compliment the food they’re already ordering (also known as cross-selling).

It’s one of the fastest, easiest and most profitable techniques you can use to increase your food trailers sales immediately, and it’s FREE to do! Whenever you’ve heard “do you want fries with that?” or “would you like the large coke?” the magical up-sell technique has been working its magic like a champ.

Offering the customers who are already buying from your food trailer some additional or related items is fast and easy and can DOUBLE your business overnight.

It boggles my mind the amount of food trailers that DONT do this. Food trailers leave hoards of money on the table by not implementing this in their food trailer business.

The great thing about up-selling is that you actually HELP your customers get MORE of what they want. Many food trailer vendors seem to think it’s intrusive or rude to ask if they want more stuff, the fact is when you up-sell the correct way, it makes your food trailers customers HAPPIER, shows you care about your customers, that you believe in your products and also creates a friendly environment in the sales process of your food trailers.

Retail figures estimate that between 20% and 30% of customers will take an up-sell when offered while they are making their original purchase. I believe you can get a pretty consistent 50% ‘take rate’ with your food trailers if you do it RIGHT, and do it OFTEN, with the right up-sell items and techniques.

The fast is, when someone is BUYING, they’re in a BUY mode, their ‘defences’ are down and they have CONVINCED THEMSELVES that buying is the right decision, that’s why up-selling is so effective and so powerful for your food trailer business. You don’t have to ‘sell’, you just help them get more of what they want.

So here’s 3 ‘modes’ I use to increase the up-sell ‘take rate’ and increase sales in the food trailers business…

3 Techniques to Increase Your Food Trailers Profits Immediately

• Food Trailers Up-sell Trick No. 1: Go Large

Here, whenever a customer is ordering you simply ask if they want the medium, large or supersize version, if you choose to offer such sizes.

You’ll find great success simply making it compulsory when someone orders any drink to simply say ‘large yeah?’, it’s just best not to say there’s a smaller/cheaper option, also the medium can simply be named the ‘regular’ for ease.

Doing this will usually result in more medium and large sales as oppose to a ton of smaller sized food or drink sales. In terms of larger sizes, whether it be the burger size, meal size or drink size, PRICE them in a way that just seems ‘obvious’ to choose.

So if your regular fries are $2.00, the large would be just $2.40, and then your special-offer or some kind of meal deal can be just beyond that priced at $2.95 for large fries and a drink. Pricing in increments like this will increase your up-sell take rate.

• Food Trailers Up-sell Trick No. 2: Group Selling

Food trailers are very rarely visited by just one person, especially at fetes, markets, outdoor events and festivals etc. Most of the time people visit food trailers in groups, whether it’s with groups of friends, families or even groups of workers if selling the worker-crowd.

You simply ask the rest of the group if they’d like anything too. Some kind of special bulk order discount or unique group offer like: “if you guys buy 5 of product X, I’ll give you the 6^th for FREE’. This 1 free meal, drink or food item will usually persuade a group of prospects into a PROFITABLE bulk purchase when asked in a fun and friendly way, and most likely result in repeat custom further down the line from members of that group, who remembered you being friendly and HELPING THEM.

• Food Trailers Up-sell Trick No. 3: Related Items

This is usually the most popular mode of up-selling and has a great take rate. The trick here is to simply ask your customers if they want something related to what they’re ordering.

Having some prepared up-sell items for your main ‘star’ products is essential here and makes your up-selling a LOT easier.

Examples of food trailers using this would be things like “would you like side of onion rings with your burger for just $1.00?” or, “Do you want the side salad with free garlic bread?” or even “would you like to try a freshly baked cookie with your coffee for just 50 cents extra”.

Up-selling offers are endless and can and will make a HUGE difference to your bottom line once ‘installing’ them into your food trailers sales system.

An essential part to making up-selling a SOLID sales-increasing SYSTEM in your food trailers is disciplining your staff to do it EVERY DAY to EVERY CUSTOMER in a friendly, relaxed way of course. There should be no slacking off, every time you or your staff DON’T help your customers get more of what they want and need, YOU leave money on the table and LOSE income.

Seriously…

Although a fair question “how much can I make in my concessions business?” there’s no true straightforward answer…

As with ANY business, your success in the concessions business depends on many different variables, some food vendors make a FORTUNE selling their foods to different crowds at festivals, outdoor events and on the streets, but unfortunately some food vendors LOOSE money and STRUGGLE to make ends meet because they don’t have the core fundamentals in place for a money-making concessions business.

But the good news is, today the concessions business is EXPLODING, and you can LEARN the success principles and profit pulling methods that the successful guys are using TODAY.

You see, if you take the time now to learn how to get into PROFITABLE locations and events with your concessions business and use the techniques that SUCCESSFUL concession trailer businesses have used to start, build, grow their business, attract HOARDS of hungry prospects and turn them into profitable customers, then you too can make a GREAT INCOME from selling your foods and doing something you enjoy for a living.

Concessions Business Examples

“$6,000 in 3 Days”

Like my client Scott Kerr in Australia, who took one of the event-getting application templates from my home-study course, set it to work in his mobile iced treats concessions business, and made $6,000 in three days.

Scott now routinely trades at outdoor events and popular outdoor spaces doing what he loves, selling snow cones and treats to happy customers.

“$29,000 in 4 days”

Harold Owens from Kansas, USA also went through my step by step concessions business system and banked a healthy $29,000 in just 4 days selling his BBQ foods at a festival.

Harold simply followed instructions and got into the festival he wanted then used some of my simple up-sell tricks to double his transaction sizes with every customer up-selling and cross-selling items like cookies, drinks and BBQ meal deals to the thousands of hungry festival goers, who happily returned to his concessions business throughout the festival.

“$2MILLION in the first year”

Roy Choi from LA took to the streets with his barbecue foods and expanded his concessions food truck vehicles throughout the local area. In his first year he turned over $2MILLION dollars in sales from his small fleet of concessions vehicles and to this day continues to survive and THRIVE, no matter what the economy.

The fact is, the mobile concession business is booming and shows no sign of slowing down. Humans will always need to eat, and mobile food businesses offering good food at a good price, served quickly will always be in high demand, especially in uncertain economic times and especially in today’s fast-paced culture, where people want the world, and their food, served at their finger tips.

DISCLAIMER: These guys worked HARD, really hard, to achieve these kinds of figures. They took the time to LEARN and put pedal to the metal with their concessions businesses. There’s no magic button that’s going to do everything for you, you have to get out there and demand your success from the world, don’t wait for your ship to come in, swim out and get it.

5 Concessions Business Fundamentals

Concessions Business Fundamental No. 1: Concession Trailer Business Plan

FACT: 80% of new businesses FAIL without a solid business in place. Best not to join them hey? Setting out a business plan for your concessions business can mean the difference between success and failure. Not only does it set the framework for your concessions business and defines your financial projections, specifies your marketing etc, it helps you raise the capital to get started in the first place, which brings me to…

Concessions Business Fundamental No. 2: Sufficient Start-Up Capital

The majority of businesses actually fail due to insufficient start up capital. Making sure you have enough capital to get you through the first 6-12 months is essential. This means working out your outgoings like staff, any kind or renal payments, fees, taxes etc and only assuming the minimal amount of sales and revenue in that period of time.

Assuming the worst in terms of sales, is usually best when financial planning. If you learn to set things up right, you’ll usually make a LOT more than your low-end projections but it’s always best to prepare and have sufficient capital to get your concessions business through the slower periods.

Concessions Business Fundamental No. 3: Reading Minds…

When I discovered this one, it literally blew me away. You see, different organizers, committees and authorities etc are all on different mindsets; i.e. they are organizing or in charge of different types of events and pitches and all have different needs, wants and desired outcomes for their event or pitch location.

For instance, a local fete or carnival organizer will want the attendees to have a great time and for the fete to look presentable to the crowds and so will VALUE a presentable or fun and colourful concessions business more than most other credentials. However a city council or authority overlooking over say a roadside location will VALUE other credentials more such as health & safety issues etc.

Pitch managers, festival organizers, committees, councils, whichever organizer or authority you are dealing with, THEY ultimately decide whether or not you get the location you want and how fast you get it. By knowing what THEY want and what THEY are trying to achieve you can adapt your approach to suit them and increase your chances of getting your desired location.

Concessions Business Fundamental No. 4: Target Your Market

Matching your concessions business up with a specified target market is a huge fundamental to your success. There’s a TON of different styles and tastes out there, defining them, then laser targeting those prospects, instead of trying to target ‘everyone’ will result in more REPEAT sales and ensure you get more residual income.

Concessions Business Fundamental No. 5:  Profitable Locations

Most mobile food vendors don’t really ‘get’ this part of the concessions business and fall flat on their face when it comes to getting into good locations, attracting money-spending customers and increasing their concession business sales.

Without a few GOOD money making locations for your concessions business, you won’t be able to sell your delicious foods, however delicious they are, however amazing your concession trailer is, it doesn’t matter. If the crowds aren’t there, no money is made, when no money is made, eventually you go out of business!

Learning how to get into profitable locations where you can attract a steady stream of customers LONG TERM is crucial to the success of your concessions business…

1. Your Descriptive Summary – This part of your concession trailer business plan is a summary of your entire plan. It’s listed at the beginning, but you won’t be able to finish it until you know exactly what there is to summarize from the rest of your business plan, so you’ll want to do this part LAST.

Include your long-term and short-term financial targets, and explain the food trailer industry and how you plan to make money from this growing market. Make your summary very clear, because it sets the tone for the rest of your business plan, and is often the ONLY part that’s read.

2. Your Marketing Plan – In this section of your concession trailer business plan, describe what it is you are selling and HOW you’re going to sell it. Make a list of your products and their prices, the local market that you’ll be targeting and selling to, and how you’re going to attract and sell to them. Include your competition and how you’ll overcome them.

In regards to operating costs, include how much are you going to need to stay afloat for the first six to twelve months.
