Your hot food trailer can make you money if you work it right. There is the traditional means of you working it as a sole operator, serving the food yourself and making all the profit. You might have the idea that you have to work it at traditional hot food trailer locations and I'm here to give some inventive new ideas.
1. Lease Your Hot Food Trailer.
If you have enough money then you can always invest in another hot food trailer and lease the first one out. The idea here is that you have a second stream of income coming in, along with the income you already make from your second hot food trailer. Leasing also serves to reduce a number of headaches. You avoid having to pay someone an hourly wage. The key to leasing is that the person operating the trailer is 100% responsible for the profits made. While they do not own the hot food trailer, it is in their best interest to look after the trailer.
When you lease out your trailer, make sure to take all required details such as drivers licence, social security number, address and next of kin details. A written agreement should be written up to decide on the length of the contract and at a minimum it should be three months.
