Gues what this hotdog vendor pays for rent.
 

In new york outside the metropolitan museum of arts , theres a hotdog stand, take a wild guess how much rent he pays to have his hotdog stand there.

$643,000 !!!!!!!! a year

thats almost 2 grand a day everyday , holy crap , how many hotdogs does the guy sell

There's no money in selling hotdogs, move along..

New York Hot Dog Vendor Evicted for $310,000 in Overdue Rent

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,538543,00.html

do you believe that? Not sure what a hot dog costs in nyc but lets say $5. he needs to sell 44 hotdogs an hour just to pay the rent at 365 days and 8 hour days. Now granted he is making enough to hire someone the rest of the time as the labor is pretty much not worth thinking about. So he could be open longer but some days it rains or is bitter cold etc. Hotdogs probably are not big sellers before 10 am. traffic probably drops off pretty good after 7 pm.

found the article too. he was not making it.

In good location, he could probably sell 100 of those per hour... at $5/each that's $4k in sales per day, and that doesn't even include upsells like beverages or some other stuff...

They probably make a very large amount on beverages as well -- off-brand water for cheap -- also the workers may just work for tips.

What you really need to ask is.. how clean is that hotdog cart! *shudder*

well for the rent he is paying, wouldnt cost much to have a fulltime team of albino midgets scouring the cart 24/7 ( albino midgets are much cleaner incase you were wondering )

Illegal marijuana hot dogs,that's what he needs to sell to survive:upsidedow

I had 2 for lunch

thats alot of ass cancer hes serving up

He was making most of his cash in prechecked mustard sales.

One of my close friends has a hot dog stand outside the Amsterdam Arena, he's not complaining.

That is nuts!

I remember when hot girls in bikinis used to have hot dog carts set up on the side of the roads here in Florida until the city ran them off.

This one made my day.

i heard the hotdogs were hollow and filled with sawdust, he if filing an appeal saying the hotdogtubes were cutting into his profits.

Not when your paying $54 grand a month in rent just for the privilege. :2 cents:

There's YAYO inside the hotdogs :winkwink::1orglaugh

Yeah they should just give the spot for free.

its an art museum, my guess would be "afghani horse sausage" aka heroin

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Yeah that one is very busy

I always wonder if these guys make much money.

its nuts i can see him doing that and making money if times are good.also in NY you could sell hotdogs to 12am no problem.

Time to buy a hotdog truck and steal some bidness!

It's all based on the weather.. seriously. If you've got a nice decent summer with not so many rainy days.. you could do VERY well with it. I know someone who does this as a side business in the summer months here. Lately they've been complaining because our weather has been rain most of the summer so most vendors are sucking it right now in Winnipeg.

.. because of TubeDogs....

Simply insane...

Minus $1700 a day in rent, minus supplies, minus waste and other things associated with doing business... I highly doubt the guy was making big bucks. Although if he made $500 a day profit then I think thats a nice life for a hot dog vendor.

Its a prime location for sure.

he turned all profit once he quit paying rent

that's just crazy

when tony told me that i was like...wtf?!?!?!

The question here isn't if he can sell 100 hotdogs in an hour, its can he MAKE 100 hotdogs in an hour, for 8 hours a day.

Say he sells 1000 hotdogs a day, makes 5k but those still have to be bought, cooked, stored somewhere, needs buns, etc.

I doubt they make THAT much...

crazy shit

thats fuckin nuts

I'm sure he is not paying $643,000 a year :error

There's a lot of money in selling tubesteak.

On 43rd and 6th in NY their is a Indian guy selling Biryani (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biryani) at 6$ out of the cart and I always make a point of stopping by and getting a package every time I am in NY...the guy makes it the same way they do it in India.

He said he sells around 1000 a day mostly to the Cab drivers. Also its not a cart he is on, it more looks like a mini house.

Jay

Another thing is I have seen this guy selling at 5 AM in the morning to cab drivers who are changing shifts and I have bought at 2 AM after a night out...looks like a 24 hour operation.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:thumbsup

how much is a hot dog in NY and in that particular stand?

2.00 each

its a front. stop being fucking gullible

I FUCKIN HATE... Poppy Morgan..

He should slap "Organic" on the cart and double his price.
