Food Carts

[Haacker]

Hi Gents, I have been reading this forum for years. I learned alot from it. Here the question: About 3 years ago while in Bangkok I spent some time with a bar lady P4P. She thought it a good idea to start a food cart buss. Do any of you, have some info on this? I have taken retirement from the carpenters union after 28 years and plan on spending alot of time in BKK. I was thinking of buying 5-10 carts and lease them out. What do you people think?

Chai See (Four brothers) noodle store founders made themselves millionaires in the food cart business.

Leasing the carts themselves will not make you much money at all. Anyone can knock together a cart for a few thousand baht or one of those "Coke" style trailer carts for about 20k.

Money in the food cart business is only made by the "concept" and duplication/franchising of that "concept", with continued supply of raw products such as Colonel Sanders secret herbs & spices.

Now, if you could get your hands on prime selling positions, those you could lease out for decent money.

Cheers,

Soundman.

Hi Soundman, The carts I was thinking of are pre manufactured. 500USD. There made out of alum/stainless steal. What about leaseing them, and making the operator a shair hold in the company. I would need a % of the sales. The operator would have to supply the food for sale etc.

Maybe, maybe not, but you cant go around stereotyping people, the vast majority i guess are out to fleece but not all i doubt very much. May i ask where you come from so i can stereotype you farang555?

I have a feeling that he is a past poster with a new nic.

Look for many other similarly themed and purposely miss spelt posts in this forum.

if u want to invest in bargirl s running beauty saloon, food carts, massage parlours feel free to do so. yours may be the exception. in most things it is less stressful to go with the tide, not against it.

im cumpletely new here. just amazed at how people think girls of the bar have the skill set to run a business.

Seems from all his posts all he is interested in is talking about bar girls!! maybe he has had a bad experience before and letting his frustration come out!

I repeat to you farang555 not all people on the earth are the same! The OP obviously trusts his gf and he just wants advice on a business. Neither you or anyone should comment about her! People like you give thailand a bad rep, spending all your time in bars etc...

And sorry i cant assist OP.

I was kidding about going to a bar, but all i will say not everyone is the same! ie bargirls i guess!!

[farang555]

actually there is money to be made 4 the bargirl.

first she gets a farng who want to rescue her from the barscene to buy her a cart or a few carts.

she then tells him that the government conficated the carts due to improper paperwork or whatever or that the catrs were stolen. in reality she sold the carts or leased them to someone who really doesnt mind being ouside in bkk humidity and smog selling s h it at 30 baht a pop.

win win 4 all involved.

farang is happy he help girl. bargirl make extra cash. someone got a cart who couldnt get one at full price.
