In today's tough economic climate people are becoming more creative when it comes to ways to generate extra income. One often overlooked method for earning a new income or some extra money is by operating an ice cream cart.
Everyone loves ice cream. If you have your ice cream cart in a populated area downtown or near an arts festival you will be amazed by the amount of sales and revenue that can be earned.
Events to target can range from dozens of people to thousands. Profitable event ideas to target for catering with your frozen dessert cart can include corporate parties, birthday parties, art or music festivals, or even just a popular street corner. The beauty of a portable, push ice cream cart is that it can be used indoors or outdoors so the potential for catering events is huge.
Many successful frozen dessert cart operators thrive by partnering with an organization. Approaching a park, a country club, a golf course, or even a baseball diamond about catering their events can be profitable to both of you. You can agree to give the organization a fixed percentage of your sales and in return can have the opportunity to sell your product to a potentially very profitable market.
Getting started in this new business is easy. The first thing that you need to do is to choose the right ice cream cart. There are many companies to choose from but you will want to make sure that they are experienced and that they stand behind their product.
The second thing that you will need to do is obtain the right permits from the department of health. You should be able to easily print out all necessary specifications and drawings of your cart from the manufacturer. Bringing these documents in with you will save you a lot of time and headaches.
So if you are looking for a new income opportunity, why not consider entering the catering business by operating a potentially highly profitable ice cream cart?
