Running a food cart business on just $50 sounded like an exciting challenge at first—but now I’m really starting to feel the pressure.

What’s Working?

People love the idea. Students are always hungry and looking for something affordable, and that’s exactly what we offer. We’ve had consistent interest and a lot of positive feedback about the food itself, which keeps me motivated. The hustle feels real and rewarding when I see someone enjoy what we made.

What’s Not Working?

The biggest problem is getting paid. Some students still haven’t cleared old payments, and it’s getting harder to manage cash flow. I try to give a bit of flexibility because I understand student struggles, but it’s starting to hurt the business. Also, with such a small starting amount, any delay or missed payment makes a huge impact. Profit is not only low—it’s shrinking. That’s the tough truth.

How’s the Project Coming Along?

Honestly, it’s not as smooth as I hoped. It feels like we’re surviving week by week, just trying to make it to the next sale. I knew it would be hard, but I didn’t expect how much of a balancing act this would be between customer service, budgeting, and managing expectations.

What Am I Learning About Running a Business?

Every small decision matters. From pricing to payment methods, to how much inventory we buy—everything affects the bottom line. I’m also learning that trust and communication with customers is important, but I need to draw clear boundaries when it comes to money, or the business won’t last.

What Am I Learning About Myself?

I’m more resilient than I thought, but also a bit too lenient. I care about people and want to help, but I’m realizing that being a kind person and being a smart business owner sometimes clash. I need to work on making decisions that protect the business while still treating people fairly.

This is the update for my small buisness foody cart

One of the major challenges in my food business, Foody Cart, is transportation. Efficient delivery is crucial to reaching more customers and ensuring timely service. To solve this issue, purchasing a car for deliveries would be a strategic investment. A car would allow me to expand my delivery radius, reduce dependency on external transportation, and improve the speed and reliability of service. Additionally, it would provide better protection for food, especially in bad weather, ensuring quality and customer satisfaction. While the initial cost of a car is high, I could explore options like a used vehicle or financing plans to make it affordable. The long-term benefits, including increased sales and business growth, would outweigh the costs, making this a valuable solution for my business.

I feel this buisness will grow into a restaurant one day as im going through a time off expending buisness

Hey everyone! So, I’ve been hustling with my $50 business idea to provide affordable meals for students who are tired of overpriced campus food. It’s been a fun ride so far, but… transportation has become a major block!

Carrying bags of food around campus isn’t cutting it, and the delivery services? Well, they’re eating into my tiny budget. I’ve been brainstorming and think I’ve come up with a solution — bike deliveries!

[akash1313]

So, I started this mini business with just $50, aiming to provide cheap food for students who are tired of overpriced meals. The plan was to Buy in bulk, cook in batches, and sell at super low prices.

First problem? TRANSPORTATION. I didn’t think about how to get the food to students efficiently. Carrying bags of meals around campus isn’t sustainable, and delivery services eat into my tiny budget.

Possible solutions:

Bike deliveries (but I don’t have one)

Partnering with other students for pickups

Finding a central drop-off point

What would you do? Drop your ideas below! Let’s solve this together.

Starting a $50 Food Business: Planning for Future GrowthStarting a $50 Food Business: Planning for Future Growth

I launched my food business with just $50, focusing on budget-friendly, delicious meals. While this is a great start, I know that scaling up will require more funding. Looking ahead, I’d consider a small business loan or a microloan as my primary financial source.

According to BDC’s article, “4 factors that could affect financing your start-up,” lenders consider factors like credit history, business model, and growth potential. With this in mind, I’d ensure my business demonstrates Proven Market Demand Solid Business Plan Detailing my pricing, supplier relationships, and future goals will help attract investors or lenders Personal and Business Creditworthiness.For now, I’m keeping costs low, sourcing ingredients wisely, and reinvesting profits. But as my business gains traction, I’ll be looking at financing options that align with my goals. What financial sources would you consider?
