How much money can you make running a hot dog cart

According to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council, in 2019, consumers in the United States spent more than $4 billion on hot dogs and sausages. The average annual income of a hot dog vendor can reach six figures. A seller will spend on average between 40 to 90 cents to create a hot dog that includes a bun and condiments.

If you sell enough hot dogs, you might make anywhere from $1 to $2 in profit per dog. The potential profits for a person who sells hot dogs are significantly more than the average wage for a worker in the United States. If you sell 200 hot dogs every day, you will make far over the average income of a hot dog vendor, which is north of $100,000.
