1. Contact your local health department or county inspection department and set up an appointment to make sure that you start your business venture prepared and knowledgeable. During your appointment, they may ask you what business you plan on operating, where you plan on operating it in the area and what your concession trailer set up is. Make sure that you work with them accordingly to make this process go faster for you. It is also important to make sure that you understand all of the laws for the area, state and federal governing the operation of a concession trailer business.
2. Decide what it is that you want to sell at your concession trailer business. Do not try to make a business out of the ordinary hamburger and hot dog stand. Unless you have a special recipe or unique way of preparing this, you will more than likely be run out by others who are already doing this. Try to come up with something unique that is not out there. It is okay to think of an idea and put a twist on it. For example, the frozen banana or cotton candy served in a cone.
3. Provide your customers with good customer service. People are always in a hurry to get to the next attraction and can get distracted, however it is your business and you are the one that will get remembered. You are also the one that they will remember if you offer something special in your customer service skills.
4. You need to decide if this is a business that you want to operate on your own or do you want to hire others so that you are not strapped down to the trailer. Most concession trailer owners hire a few extra hands to help out so that they can visit the attractions themselves and can be rested when they are working.
5. Make sure that your concession trailer is properly set up for what you want to offer. Do you have adequate windows and doors? Do you have a sink set up for washing dishes and hands? Is there fresh water that runs into the trailer? Do you have a cooler or refrigerator to hold products in a safe manner? Do you have adequate cupboard space and counter areas to work on?
6. Decide on locations that you will set up your business. This often times included local fairs, outside events and amusement parks. However, there is the possibility to contact local big businesses to see if they will rent out space in their parking lot for you to set up business during time that there are not events or activities in the community going on. Most concession trailer businesses pay between $200 and $600 for monthly rent but get a fast payout when the month is over.

Concession trailers provide an excellent opportunity to earn a living, set one’s own work schedule, meet new people, and try out recipes before testing them on the family. Concession trailers can be as small as the ubiquitous ice cream cart with its umbrella that can be found in most city parks or as large as the trailers that travel with carnivals. A concession trailer can be a terrific investment, whatever the size. The first question to ask before buying a concession trailer is, “What is the intended use of the trailer?” If the goal is to spend afternoons and weekends selling ice cream in the park, a small trailer is all that is required. It must be refrigerated, and it must be easy to move. If the location chosen for the ice cream stand is far from the place where it will be stored, consider purchasing a pick-up truck and a ramp, to facilitate transport of the concession stand. If the goal is to spend evenings and weekends catering to the college crowd in town, a medium-sized trailer would be appropriate. A box van with sides that open for ventilation enable the operator to run a grill for hamburgers and hot dogs, and still have ample storage for the accessories such as plates, napkins, plastic wear, potato chips, condiments, and a small refrigerator to keep everything fresh until it is cooked. Keeping the menu simple will keep the size of the concession stand down, and keep the overhead costs of running the stand lower. Before plunging into the concession business, take the time to research local ordinances. Many municipalities require a permit to operate a concession trailer. Along with this permitting process, most communities have a Department of Health or its equivalent to perform regular inspections on concession trailers. Ensure that the trailer and the business are insured. Grills can catch on fire. A child’s fingers can be pinched in an ice cream stand. A late-night college reveler can trip over any accessories that surround the trailer, such as a picnic table or bench. Owning a concession stand is a fantastic opportunity for an outgoing person who loves to cook. With a little preparation, it could become the career choice of a lifetime.

Fun and run.
yes you can be able to run for fun.
Some businesses that you can run from home include an Event Planning business, a photography business or a videographer business. I also know someone who makes "diaper" cakes for a living. She doesn't make much, but it is something fun to do on the side that provides a little extra income.
