Question

Business model of barbecue stand

Answer 1

Answer:

Barbecue, by its very nature, gives you a lot of options for offering your food to the public. You can open a traditional storefront restaurant, but you are not limited to serving in a fixed establishment. Many barbecue businesses operate using these additional venues:

In an open space or vacant lot using a portable smoker or grill

At fairs or sporting events out of a food truck

At wine or beer festivals with a full-sized trailer

At someone else's site catering for private parties or corporate functions.

Your equipment needs and operating plan will differ depending on how you choose to serve your food, but for any service method, you should think through all your costs, including equipment needs, licensing fees and staffing. Develop a full business plan in advance to keep yourself on track as you open your business.
