Expert Instruction

Professor of Hot Dogs Mark Reitman brings a lifetime of experience in the food service industry and the successful operation of a hot dog cart business.  By studying with Mark here at Hot Dog University you receive the benefit of that experience, and a clear understanding of the logistics connected to launching your new business.

Classroom

The Hot Dog University Classroom is a comfortable learning environment which is fully equipped with state of the art technology.

Hands-On Experiential Learning

Studying business in a theoretical way is useful when beginning your exploration of the possibilities inherent in this new adventure.  But it is the practical that often makes the difference.  Hot Dog University provides not only the finest classroom instruction and materials, but also the opportunity to put the classroom theory into practice.  All students actually operate a hot dog cart for a busy lunch hour.  Students have a chance to set-up their cart, make and serve hot dogs, and break down the cart for clean-up and storage.  We believe that giving students this practical experience is an essential part of the Hot Dog University Program.

 Plant Tour

The more you know about the scope of the business and the products you sell, the better prepared you are.  By taking a comprehensive tour of the Vienna Beef plant, you will see how hot dogs are made from start to finish.  These days consumers are more discerning about what they purchase, and are more likely to inquire about products.  Nothing puts a customer more at ease than a proprietor who can answer any question, including ingredients and processes connected to the products they sell.
