This 1950s American-style parlour sells an award-winning range of flavours – including bubblegum and, coming soon, Jaffa Cake. Set in North Terrace by the harbour, it also sells drinks, sundaes, sandwiches, hot dogs and cakes. The great majority of your customers will pay you in cash. Occasionally you may get a corporate client that will want to pay by cheque or even by credit or debit card, so you need to make your terms clear at the outset. You are also likely to need to get a street trading licence from the local council and you may find that you are prohibited from working in certain areas or on certain pitches. Despite all this, there are still illegal ice cream operations, flaunting the licensing rules and many others, which has had a negative impact on those trying to do it properly. 2) Supermarket Competition Where a failure does not amount to a major failure, Mr Toys is entitled to choose between providing you with a repair, replacement or other suitable remedy. Mr Toys may elect to return the product to the manufacturer's repair agent to determine the nature of the problem.

Creating a business plan will really help at this stage. It may sound very complicated, but it is in fact quite simple and should help you in the decision making process. Other factors to consider Okay, so strictly speaking this isn’t a seaside parlour, but it’s not far from the coast and offers something a bit different. It’s at Tregellast Barton Farm , where children can find out where ice cream comes from by watching the Jersey cows being milked. Then they can enjoy one of 30 flavours – including Cornish cream tea – in the parlour. Each Local Authority will have its own interpretation of the legislation and how to apply the rules, so it is essential that you talk them about where you can and can’t trade, whether you will require a licence and if, when and how you can use the chimes. You will need to estimate how much income you will receive over the next 12 months, including VAT. To do this you will have to estimate how much ice cream and other products you are likely to sell, and at what price. You will also need to know at what price you can buy them and don’t forget the seasonal trends. Product RangeOver the last decade or so, ice cream vending has been targeted by health campaigners and Local Authorities, who have banned vans from many of the places that were most profitable e.g. near schools, parks and town centres.
