Hot Money Market for Street Vending #1: Vegan Food
The diverse preferences that men and women have when it comes to their diet are an advantage to street vendors. Since everyone does not eat steak and potatoes, it would be beneficial to offer additional options and make more money. Vegan food is one popular menu selection that can help street vendors make more money with food carts. The street vending market has not been saturated with vegan food, making it easier for vendors to offer a competitive choice to consumers. As a street vendor, you could add Vegan food to your menu or sell it exclusively.

Some Vegan recipes include tofu and soy products. It would help to become familiar with Vegan food in order to cash in on this hot money market as a street vendor. Bean burritos, soy burgers and vegetarian hot dogs are some convenient vegan food ideas that could sell quickly at your food vending location. Street vendors who are located in busy metropolitan areas could optimize this hot money market by charging more for these specialized menu options. It would be best to test this once before committing to a higher price. Charging the same price for both vegan and non-vegan food may work better for street vendors depending on the location.

Hot Money Market for Street Vending #2: Desserts
Many street vendors sell candy, fruit salads and small pies. However, there seems to be a limited amount of dessert available for consumers who buy food from street vending carts. This is a hot money market that can be utilized on it's own without the need for a breakfast or lunch menu. Street vendors can make money selling various baked goods including cookies, cake, donuts, pie and fruit filled pastries. This is a great area where street vendors can really turn a profit.
