Add These Simple Menu Items to Increase Sales at Your Hot Dog Cart.

Walking Taco

Hi Steve,

I would be interested in what items your slingers have added to their menu or cart sales in general that have increased their overall sales.

I’m looking for something that will attract customers aside from hot dogs, sausage and soda, perhaps something else to sell. I have thought of popcorn, peanuts, even ice cream!

Hey Rick,

Wow, the number of items is really endless, as long as you can get health department approval.

One of the highest profit margin items is nachos. Put some chips in a cardboard boat and top with melted cheese. Free jalapenos optional. Have a chili upsell. A lot of people will take it.

Walking tacos are also popular. Open a bag of Fritos or Doritos (I crush them a little first) and add cheese, chili, jalapenos, and any other Mexican style condiments that you have on the cart. Serve with a plastic fork. Delicious.

How about it Slinger? What have you seen on a hot dog cart besides hot dogs? Let’s hear it in the comments!
