Mobile iced-coffee and nitro-coffee cart for events and high-foot-traffic locations
Sell fast-serving iced coffee, nitro coffee, lattes, cream and syrup from a compact converted tool cart instead of operating a coffee shop, coffee truck or espresso-machine setup. The model is designed as a low-cost, portable business that can serve events, schools, farmers markets, car washes, gas stations, fairs, festivals, sports venues and other locations with built-in traffic.

Problem: Customers at outdoor events often want a simple cold coffee drink but face slow service and expensive coffee setups. The business also gives operators a portable income source without the capital, rent, logistics and maintenance burden of a coffee shop, coffee truck or $30,000 espresso machine.
For: Event attendees, families, students, festival visitors, car-wash customers and other people who want a cold coffee drink quickly; the operating opportunity is especially suited to divorce mothers, military spouses, immigrants, disabled veterans and people seeking weekend, part-time or full-time income.
