Concession Equipment

Concession Stands are a high profit gig to get into. You will most likely maintain your profits throughout the seasons if you keep a few good tips in mind. You'll need to find the perfect location to sell your items. Having a variety of snacks will help to broaden your client base and expand your sales. Keeping a well maintained concession equipment and staff will help to improve the smoothness of your service.

Location is key. When thinking about opening a mobile concession stand you need to think about location above all else. If you are opening a mobile concession stand at a dead end street the likely hood of you making any profit is very rare. You'll want to be in a well populated area. Try to avoid any place where there is construction going on. Big tourist spots are a great place to start. If your concession equipment is not mobile and your working with cooking equipment, then go all out. You'll definitely want to maximize your cooking space to product more food products faster which will help boost profits. The faster you serve and sell, the more money you keep in your pockets.

Supply a wide variety of snacks. Of course if your serving in a hot place, like Corpus Christi, you will probably sell more sno-kones and ice cream on a hot day than you would nachos and hot dogs. Always know what the customers like and provide a wide variety of their favorite snacks. If you are in a concession stand at a sporting event, try and sell things big. Big bags of popcorn, two for one hot dogs, nachos... Most people at sporting events will share the snacks they get from the concession stands so selling bigger portions for a higher price will benefit you and your customers.

Keeping your concession stand clean and organized will also help to boost sales. If you walked up to a concession stand with flies on the food, and dirty rags lying everywhere would you want to eat anything from there?! Maintaining your employees and ensuring they are working to their maximum capabilities is a great way to keep your profits up. If you have someone slacking off and not helping your customers, then your customers will not want to come back.
