Tips & Common Mistakes
- Location matters — park where NPCs walk (plazas, promenades) for more customers.
- There's no timer, so it's the most laid-back way to earn while socialising.
- Per-sale pay is small; it's a casual earner, not a fast money-maker.
No Timer — Sell at Your Own Pace
The hotdog stand is a drivable prop (prop_hotdogstand_01) with no clock on it at all.
You park where the people are and sell for $50–150 per hotdog or soda. There is no late
penalty, no level requirement and nothing to buy.
That makes it the purest roleplay earner on the board: the money is small per sale, but you can run it while standing in the middle of a scene rather than driving a route alone.
How It Compares to the Other Side-Jobs
Every job below starts at the same Job Centre NPC (-552.53, -188.47, 38.22), needs no level and
no purchase, and none of them carry a police risk. The difference is pay, pace and how hard the
clock pushes you:
| Job | Pay | Timer | Late penalty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Newspaper Delivery | $300–325 per delivery | 6 min (+2 spare) | −$5 / min |
| Mobile Hotdog | $50–150 per sale | None | — |
| Pizza Delivery | $800–1,100 per delivery | 5 min (+2 spare) | −$50 / min |
| Bus Driver | $800–1,100 per line | 7–11 min (+2 spare) | — |
| Forklifter | $1,300 flat per load | 4–6 min (+2 spare) | −$150 / min |
| Fire Department | $500–1,500 per fire | 7 min (+2 spare) | −$100 / min |
| Gardener | $1,500 flat per garden | None | — |
| Trucker | $1,500–4,000 per haul | 10–12 min (+2–4 spare) | −$50 / min |
Reading it: Trucker has the biggest ceiling, Gardener has the best pay with no clock at all, and Forklifter punishes lateness hardest relative to its payout. Newspaper Delivery is the gentlest place to learn the map before you take on a timed haul.
FAQ
How much does the Mobile Hotdog job pay?
$50 to $150 in cash per hotdog or soda sold. There is no timer, so your income depends entirely on foot traffic where you park.
Where should you park the hotdog stand?
Wherever players actually gather — event spots, busy city blocks, outside popular businesses. The stand is drivable, so you can move it as the crowd moves.
Is Mobile Hotdog worth doing?
For money alone, no — it is one of the lowest earners. For roleplay it is the best on the board, because it lets you earn while staying in a scene instead of driving a route.
Do you need a level or a licence for the hotdog stand?
Neither. Take it at the Job Centre NPC like any other side-job. There is nothing to buy and no requirement to meet.
