When you think of concessions, many fun foods may come to mind. It’s important to know that some options are better than others, for various reasons. Ultimately, you want to go with choices that are easy to manage and, at the end of the day, bring in the most money for your school or church. As you coordinate fundraiser event ideas, consider the following options.
Top Fun Foods to Sell at a Fundraiser
1. Popcorn
When it comes to food fundraising ideas, you can't go wrong with popcorn. Popcorn is easy to prepare and the smell of popping popcorn will tempt anyone into making a purchase. You only need a few basic supplies along with a minimal investment to sell popcorn, and it has a 78-95% profit margin.
2. Nachos and Cheese
Nachos are another effective food to sell at fundraising events. There is virtually no clean-up involved when it comes to selling nachos and cheese, and there’s little food waste. This tasty snack boasts a 58-75% profit margin.
3. Pizza and Pretzels
You don’t have to choose between these popular favorites. When you sell both pizza and pretzels, you can double the use of your warmer. Both can be easily displayed and kept warm by using the convenient combo rack. Profit margins are 66-72% for pizza and pretzels.
4. Hot Dogs
Hot dogs are another low-maintenance, high-return concession food to sell at a fundraiser. Gold Medal hot dog rollers are durable, easy to clean and come in multiple sizes to accommodate both small and large volume needs.
