When Matrana Ford from London, Ontario, Canada, decided to expand her food business, she needed a hot dog cart that was practical, durable, and fully equipped for daily operation. She had already sold hot dogs at small outdoor events, but her old setup limited her speed and menu options. To grow her business, she wanted a compact but powerful food cart that included a fryer, griddle, water sink, and enough workspace to prepare multiple hot dogs at once.
After researching different suppliers and considering import requirements, she reached out to ETODEVICE for a custom-built solution. Her main concern was not only the equipment inside the cart, but also the importing and customs clearance process into Canada. We guided her through the whole procedure while designing a hot dog cart tailored specifically for her workflow.
Why Matrana Chose a Custom Hot Dog Cart
Matrana needed more than a simple food stand. She wanted a setup that would help her:
Serve hot dogs faster
Add fried items to the menu
Improve hygiene and organization
Display her brand logo clearly
Operate smoothly at parks, stadium lawns, and weekend markets
She also needed a cart that met Canadian safety and electrical standards, and one that could handle long outdoor operating hours. The YT-HS230 hot dog cart fit all her needs.
ETODEVICE’s Solution — The Custom YT-HS230 Hot Dog Cart
The YT-HS230 is one of our compact but fully functional hot dog carts, designed for vendors who want mobility without losing cooking capacity. For Matrana, we customized several parts of the cart to match her layout preferences and equipment needs.

Branding & Logo Adjustments
Matrana wanted her hot dog cart to look professional from the first day she used it. She sent us her logo, and our design team adjusted the font size, color tone, and placement to improve visibility from both the front and sides.
We created several layout options and confirmed the final design through 3D drawings, so she could visualize the real look before production started. This step made the logo blending smoother and ensured the color matched the body paint.
Helping With Canada Import Preparation
Because Matrana cared about customs clearance, we prepared the following:
Detailed packing list
HS codes for food cart components
Electrical specifications
Gas equipment details
Structural safety documentation
Photos & dimensions for customs inspection
This allowed her to clear customs faster and receive her hot dog cart without delays.
Efficient Layout for Hot Dog Vendors
The YT-HS230 is designed for vendors who want to keep things simple while maintaining production speed. For Matrana’s workflow, the layout included:
Fryer on the left side for quick cooking of fries and sides
Griddle at the center for grilling hot dogs
The sink and water system on the right for cleaning
Large rear counter for buns and condiments
Logo panel facing customers
Umbrella mount for outdoor operation
This setup allows a single operator to move smoothly between cooking, assembling, and serving.
Real-World Performance in Canada
After receiving the cart, Matrana immediately used it at outdoor family events and local parks. The wheels roll smoothly on grass and concrete, and the fryer maintains stable heating even during long hours of operation.
She shared that customers loved the bright look of the cart and the clean logo layout. The cart helped her serve more customers at a faster pace, which increased her daily revenue.
