Questions people ask before they buy
What does it really cost to get started? +
To practice, it costs less than the last cookout you hosted: the $27 course, a grill you likely already own, and about $40–$60 of groceries for 20 practice skewers your family eats. To sell at your first event, budget more: a one-day permit (roughly $50–$250, depending on your county) and a booth fee (roughly $20–$75 a day at a farmers market, more at festivals), plus whatever your permit and the event require, usually a canopy, a handwashing station, a thermometer, a food handler card, liability insurance and, in most states, a sales-tax permit. If your county requires a licensed kitchen, you rent one by the hour. No food truck. No lease. No storefront.
Do I need a permit to sell skewers? +
Almost certainly, yes, and we'd rather tell you now. Cottage food laws, the ones that let people sell cookies from home, almost never cover cooked meat. Skewer vendors sell with a temporary event or farmers-market permit, plenty of cities license sidewalk vendors, and in some counties a catering permit lets you be hired to grill at private parties. One rule surprises people: food you sell usually can't be prepped in your home kitchen. You prep on site or in a licensed kitchen, and many vendors rent a shared one by the hour. Most places also want a food handler card, which is a short online course. Rules vary by county, so your first step is one call to your health department. Step 3 above has the exact question to ask.
Is the 1-on-1 class with a real person? +
Yes. A real person, not a chatbot. In your private class, they help you plan your menu, figure out what each skewer costs you and set your first price, so you're not guessing on your own.
I work full time and have a family. Is this realistic? +
That's who it's built for. Watch the lessons whenever you want, practice one recipe on your own family, and sell only on the weekends you pick. Want to be selling by next weekend? Call your county health department on Monday. Some counties issue a one-day event permit within days; others take a few weeks.
Can't I just learn this on YouTube? +
YouTube can teach you to grill. What it won't do is hand you recipes built for selling, a list of cheap cuts to buy, a way to price every skewer and a plan for where to set up, all in one place and in order. And this isn't a 10-page PDF. You get 23 recipes, two video lessons (one on cuts, one on grilling) and 5 bonuses, each one listed above.
How do I get access, and what if it's not for me? +
Right after checkout you get an email with your login. Watch on your phone, tablet or computer, any time, for life. It's a one-time $27 charge in US dollars. No monthly fees. If it's not for you, just send us a message within 14 days of purchase and you'll get your full $27 back, refunded to your original payment method.
