Burger Van Start up

googler

Assuming the van comes equipped with the cooking equipment, your list of other requirements to be budgeted for could include;

Cooking utensils
Food prep items - gloves, chopping boards, knives etc
Storage containers
Cooking oils
Dispensing containers - polystyrene trays, wrappers and the like
Litter bin(s)
Ketchup dispensers

Since most everyone likes a soft drink with their burger, you'll need stocks of Coke, Fanta, and the like, and a fridge to store them in, maybe straws or plastic cups to go with them....

Think location, only when you have one and permission, then think about the van! Not easy at all, I know that very very well! :-/

I work on a small trading estate & there are 3 burger vans trading.
One trades from a building merchant's yard, another from the side of the road (he has recently moved down the road and seen his business increase) and the 3rd is in a roadside parking space.

If you can find a builders merchant who does not already have a burger van & negotiate a pitch fee.

You won't get anything half decent for that. You want something that customers will want to buy from.

You're so right, you would not want a dive would you Suarez.

also some locations you may want to set up a table and chairs, so you need to account for these too.

It's all about the name. Call your van 'Abra Kebabra' and you'll be on to a winner.

How about 'Burger me!' as a name?

What about "Only Foods and Sauces"

Serviette/napkins as well, plastic knives, forks depending on what is being served.
