First, let me introduce our company's meatball-making machine. This machine frees up your hands; it's small, mobile, and features fast output and a high turnover rate. It can also be used for various types of minced meat (related article: Meatball Making Machine).
Turning your meatball machine into a "money-making machine" is a fantastic entrepreneurial idea. First, we need to determine our sales model.
If you decide to set up a street stall, the first step is to determine your sales model.

Other accessories: trolley/tricycle, meatball cooking pot, seasonings, packaging boxes, skewers, etc.
Raw materials: pork, beef, chicken.
Meatball forming machine: Available in solid and filled versions, customizable to your needs (related article: What is a meatball forming machine?).
Meat grinder: A kitchen or food processing device that processes raw meat, cooked food, vegetables, cheese, etc., into uniform granules or minced meat. (Related Article: Meat Grinder)
Cooking Pot: Gas-fired pots are the best choice for street vendors. They have strong heat, heat up quickly, and you don't need to worry about the power supply.
The joy of street vending comes from visible profits. Therefore, we need to learn how to calculate profits. First, we need to subtract costs (raw materials, machines, space, tools, etc.), and then we calculate our profit.
Key to efficient operation of a meatball stall: We produce during off-peak hours. Early morning markets are less crowded, so we make batches at home and freeze stock to prevent supply shortages. In the afternoon peak season, we cook and sell fresh meatballs, ensuring they are piping hot and delicious.
We utilize multiple revenue streams. In addition to on-site sales, we also supply to community delicatessens and supermarket freezers. The stall is small, but the business isn't limited to one location.
Location selection needs to be practical. Target areas like school gates, subway entrances, office buildings, and night market entrances-people mean money.
The flavor needs to be tailored to local tastes. If locals like it sweet, adjust the sugar color slightly; if they like it spicy, add freshly ground Sichuan peppercorn oil. The taste should be "like what the neighbors make at home."
In conclusion, to make money by setting up a street stall, you not only need a good helper, but also your own conscience and bottom line (cleanliness, hygiene, good taste, and enthusiasm are the keys to making money).
