Hot dog is one of the favorite dishes of fast food customers. But despite the popularity of the product, it is not so easy to find a point that sells hot dogs, and not shawarma or hamburgers. The relative unpopularity of this type of trade can play into its favor. By locating his trading facility in a good, well-traveled place, an entrepreneur will be able to earn good money without any problems - after all, the cost of a hot dog, needless to say, is not very high. The main costs will go to purchase necessary equipment.
Hot Dog Equipment: What Options Are There?
First of all, it is worth noting that there is an “economical” way to prepare this dish - using the so-called barbecue. As a rule, such an installation is intended for frying kebabs or other meat products, but many people easily use it for cooking sausages. The downside is the inability to operate the device indoors, which immediately rules out trade in winter. An undeniable advantage is the price - a barbecue will cost very little.
Among the special equipment intended for preparing hot dogs are the following:
- Roller grill. This is perhaps the next most economical device - its price, as a rule, does not exceed 7,000 rubles. The number of sausages that the device can accommodate is not too large - about five. Otherwise, the grill provides an excellent level of heat treatment: sausages on rotating rollers are thoroughly cooked on all sides. For a small point it can be a good option.
- Steam grill. The device is more expensive (about 20,000 rubles), but also more multifunctional. The device not only cooks sausages, but also warms up buns. And if necessary, it can be used as a steamer and cook absolutely any dishes on it. In addition, a steam grill can accommodate ten times more sausages. This equipment is ideal for a cafe.
- Carousel grill (from 25,000 rubles) - with this technology, sausages spin like a wheel. In addition, the device often involves heating and storing buns.
- A hot dog apparatus in which sausages are fried in an upright position. Often equipped with a basket for storing large quantities of sausages. Cost – about 17,000 rubles.
- Contact grill (from RUB 10,000). The sausages are heated on a special surface, as if on an electric stove. Such a surface can be either smooth or textured.
- Deep fryer. This cooking method involves frying using a large amount of oil - which guarantees the presence of a crust. In addition to hot dogs, it can be used to prepare whites, donuts, potatoes and other dishes.

In total, the equipment for a hot dog cafe will cost a little more than 400,000 rubles. Costs depend, of course, on the planned volume of the cafe and its format.
What else do you need for a hot dog cafe?
- Microwave oven. If you don’t have a complex device that heats bread, you can’t do without it. The cost of a microwave oven is low - from 4,000 rubles.
- Thermal showcase (from RUB 20,000). Its use is not mandatory, but the appetizing appearance of hot dogs placed in a display case will serve as much better advertising for passersby or cafe guests than any drawings or photographs.
- Refrigerators and freezers.
- Washing bath. For a small outlet, a single-section will be enough (from 3,500 rubles), but with a wide range of dishes or for a cafe it is better to use a larger bath.
- Exhaust hood. It will help get rid of the accumulation of fat and odor particles in the air that are constantly released during cooking. Price – about 8,000 rubles.
- The most popular places for hot dogs are parks and other places of entertainment and recreation, as well as areas close to the metro and train stations. It is possible to place it inside a supermarket. But it is not recommended to simply place stalls on the streets.
- The trade pavilion must be mobile: freely move from place to place if necessary, just like a regular barbecue cart.
- If you encounter difficulties in selecting equipment, you should consider the option of purchasing a counter on a trailer, initially equipped with everything necessary - the current market has them. This will greatly simplify the work if such a business is new.
- There should definitely be a bin for disposable tableware next to the counter or barbecue.
- If space allows, it is better to use not one, but two tables: for cooking and for other organizational needs.
- Hot dogs should have variety: customers love to be given a choice. Therefore, experiments with different vegetables and sauces, unique recipes are the highlight of the cafe. The goods must also include drinks - they will be willing to buy them in addition to hot dogs.
Selling hot dogs is not particularly difficult: cooking is not that difficult, and you don’t need a lot of staff. This great start for a beginning entrepreneur and a good additional income for any specialist in the field of trade.
Selling sausage sandwiches is very promising, because this business is practically not represented in the catering market. One outlet with such a product can bring its owner about 300 conventional units daily. Often, hot dogs are an addition to a hamburger, crumpet, etc. There are not many establishments whose specialization would be based only on such sandwiches, and the business of such places is often based on seasonality.
The sale of sandwiches is carried out mainly by individual entrepreneurs (individual entrepreneurs). However, there are also large companies in the market.
Experts point to some reasons for the low popularity of hot dogs.
One reason is that a sausage sandwich is less popular than a hamburger. But any business can be made popular. To make this business successful, first of all, you need to change the choice of raw materials used. The same applies to gas stations. It is best to use imported raw materials and imported dressings, but you can come up with something of your own that would not be inferior in quality and taste.
When this type of business first began to appear on the market, imported raw materials (sausages, sausages, ketchups, etc.) were used to fill the buns. However, gradually retail outlets switched to domestic ordinary products, and hot dogs lost those taste qualities, which were inherent in them when using imported products.
To open a business selling “hot dogs” (hot dogs), you must complete the following documents:
- Registration;
- Rental agreement;
- Permission from the sanitary-epidemiological service for retail trade;
- Individual card;
- Indication of the main types of products sold (costing);
- Indication of the main suppliers of products;
When trading alcoholic beverages, you will need an additional permit to carry out this type of activity.
Stage 2. Location
The place for selling products is a fixed counter or a mobile kiosk. It is best to place it in the most crowded place. In order for a business to develop successfully and constantly generate income, it is necessary not just a place with high traffic, it is necessary that the consumer is not in a hurry, but just walking. Such places include:
- Shopping or entertainment center;
- Amusement park;
- Pedestrian street;
- Recreation areas (forested areas, historical landmarks, advantages of the city, etc.);
- Stadiums, cultural events;
The area of the pavilion should be from 1 to 2 square meters. Fixed counters occupy an area of 3 square meters. In addition to the retail outlet, it is also necessary to install a trash can or other container for the purpose of collecting garbage.
Stage 3. Equipment
Equipment for sandwiches can be special and adapted. Adapted equipment is the so-called installation for making kebabs, sausages and other meat products (barbecue). Such equipment can only be used when the kiosk is located in an open space. The advantage of adapted equipment is its cost (from 170 to 500 conventional units), ease of use and mobility (ease of movement and transportation).
Barbecue machines are good to use during holidays. The device is easily transported from one point to another. In summer, when there is an influx of tourists, barbecues can be placed on the piers from which excursion ships depart.
Special equipment includes a hot dog making machine and a heating cart on wheels. Carts are available in electric and gas versions. The electric cart must always be plugged in and this can cause movement and mobility difficulties. The gas cart is powered by a gas cylinder that is attached to it. Such counters can be moved quite easily, but it is necessary to constantly monitor the gas. Such equipment costs from 500 to 1,000 conventional units.
The size of the counter is small - 0.50.6 square meters.
The advantage of machines for making hot and fresh sandwiches is that the products are produced very quickly. The cost of the device is 1,000 conventional units. Often, this equipment is installed in large centers where other products are sold.
You can also think about purchasing a full-fledged cafe in a trailer. Such a cafe has an area of 6 to 10 square meters. The price ranges from 2,000 to 10,000 conventional units. The price depends on the equipment.
Stage 4. Raw materials
The main raw materials are bakery products and sausages. Often, raw materials are purchased from domestic companies. Depending on the will of the consumer, products can be sold in addition to additives. The following are used as additives:
- Ketchup;
- Mustard;
- Mayonnaise;
- Cucumbers;
- Carrot;
- And other additives;
A hot dog with additives acquires new taste qualities and becomes more appetizing. However, these additives make the price of the product higher.
To reduce costs, many people prefer raw materials from local producers. Every month one kiosk will need 120-250 kilograms of sausages and bakery products, 25-50 kilograms various types ketchups and mayonnaise, 2,500-5,000 handkerchiefs.
The price of raw materials will range from 720 to 1,500 conventional units.
Stage 5. Personnel
To sell sandwiches, it will be enough to have 1 salesperson per outlet. Such counters do not have cash registers.
However, to sell products in a non-mobile counter, several employees will be required, one will stand at the cash register and count customers, and the second will do the preparation. This is also due to the fact that it will be difficult for one person to do both the calculations at the cash register and the preparation of hot dogs and other related products (potatoes, hamburger, soda, juices).
All employees are required to undergo a medical examination before starting work. Each employee must have a sanitary card.
The St. Petersburg market is represented by about 50 retail outlets with various formats that sell hot dogs.
Result:
To ensure stable operation of one counter every day throughout the month, you need to:
- Sausage, frankfurters – from 120 to 250 kilograms;
- Ketchup or other additional product – from 25 to 50 kilograms;
- Napkins – from 1,000 to 5,000 pieces;
- Bakery products – from 120 to 250 kilograms;
Costs – from 720 to 1,500 conventional units.

Considering that the preparation and sale of hot dogs is a business characterized by minimal investments, such returns indicate a quick payback and high profitability.
We are organizing a business selling hot dogs. Where to start?
Before you begin the process of creating a company selling hot dogs, you should evaluate the market in the selected locality and answer the questions:
- Who consumes the products of fast food establishments and how large is this segment of buyers?
- What are the advantages and disadvantages of competitors and where are their outlets located?
- Where can you buy ingredients for hot dogs?
The result of such market research will be right choice location and competitive tactics. Moreover, the larger the settlement, the greater the number of offices and educational institutions located in it, the higher the likelihood of business success.
Once the decision to create a point selling hot dogs has been made, you should proceed to preparing documents, in particular:
- Registration certificate (such a company is usually registered as an individual entrepreneur).
- A lease agreement for a plot of land or premises (without it, it will not be possible to register a company legally).
- Permission from the SES (the paper must be certified by the signature of the head physician and seal).
Important point: The SES will issue permission only if it is provided with documents containing information about the range of products, the quality of raw materials and the preparation process. Moreover, all sellers of fast food outlets will be required to undergo mandatory medical examination and issue medical records.
Where is the best place to sell hot dogs? Choosing the right room
Selling hot dogs will bring a solid profit only if the point of sale is located in a place with a large crowd of people.
Suitable for this role:
- Holiday parks, tourist attractions, pedestrian areas, beaches.
- Areas near universities and large offices.
- Markets, public transport stops, train stations, metro stations.
The preparation and sale of delicious sausage rolls can be organized within a stationary or mobile outlet. In the first case, you will need to find a kiosk or pavilion with an area of at least 4-5 square meters. In the second, it is enough to organize a mobile cart occupying an area of 1-2 square meters.
Important point: The mobile hot dog business will be seasonal.
What equipment is needed to cook hot dogs? Is it profitable to rent equipment?
The purchase of equipment for a retail outlet is the main cost item in the production of hot dogs.
All existing device options can be divided into two categories:
- Adapted equipment , which includes standard ovens, grills and barbecue grills that take up little space, are highly mobile and have a low cost (from 150 to 550 dollars).
- Specialized equipment , represented by hot dog machines and mobile counters, which allow you to quickly prepare tasty and aromatic products with perfect presentation. However, such devices require a larger area and are not cheap (from 700 to 2000 dollars).
If a hot dog outlet plans to use adapted equipment, then it is better to immediately purchase it. Due to their high cost, it is more advisable to rent specialized equipment, since their purchase will increase initial costs and delay the achievement of business payback.
Important point: adapted equipment is ideal for mobile, and specialized equipment is ideal for stationary retail outlets.
What raw materials are needed to make hot dogs?
A hot dog is a bun with fried sausage or sausage, which is seasoned with ketchup, mustard or sauce, supplemented with vegetables, cheese, herbs or bacon.

Hot dog machine - features of choice and review of manufacturers
Adepts healthy eating are powerless when it comes to fast food. About something so delicious, about something so harmful. Unfortunately, what you eat on the run will count against you if you abuse it, but occasionally you can treat yourself. A hot dog is an ideal representative of “fast food”. Delicious, rich, relatively low-fat and filling. Yes, food is not for every day, but still. Hot dogs are extremely popular among the population - they are convenient to eat and can be bought everywhere. The abundance of outlets offering this dish will once again confirm our words. 
If you decide to create a small enterprise for the production and sale of hot dogs, then this article will help you understand the equipment that you will certainly need in the process. How to choose a machine for making hot dogs, what accompanying equipment you will need, read below.
What are they made of and how are they prepared?
Hot dog is a dish known all over the world. This is a white flour bun filled with sausage. If desired, all kinds of flavoring fillers can be added. The hot dog originates from the USA, but today almost every country in the world has its own special variation, citing cultural characteristics. For example, in a Swedish hot dog, instead of a bun, mashed potatoes, in Australia, sausage is replaced with lobster.
The general principle is as follows:
- The buns are heated and cut along their entire length, forming a kind of pocket.
- The sausages are heated (in some cases fried) and placed in a bun.
- Toppings to taste are added on top of the sausage - usually mustard and ketchup. If desired, mayonnaise, fried onions, pickled cucumbers, etc. are added.
Complete list of required equipment
First you need to decide how exactly you plan to cook hot dogs.
There are 2 options:
- An industrial toaster that warms up your buns and a roller grill that will evenly brown your sausages.
- A complete machine for French hot dogs. It is a universal unit, which includes a container where sausages are fried, and heating elements in the form of pins - buns are placed on them. The pins form a hole in the crumb for the sausage, simultaneously heating the bun from the inside.
Accompanying equipment includes:
- a refrigerator in which sausages and toppings are stored;
- gastronomic table display case. It is used in the process of storing and displaying the accompanying cuts that go with the main hot dog;
- neutral storage unit in which bread is stored.
Basically, that's all. If you wish, you can supplement the list with refrigerated cabinets for selling drinks, chest freezers for selling ice cream, etc.
Hot dog machine from China
China is always ahead of the rest when it comes to inexpensive technology. This equipment is preferred by owners of small outlets that operate seasonally - the cost of the equipment is fully recouped over the period of operation, the merchant remains in the black, and in the event of a more or less serious breakdown, the equipment is scrapped, since repairs are often more expensive than a new hot water equipment -Doga. 
Also, Chinese technological equipment has an attractive appearance, serving as additional advertising.
If you are planning to start working with a small retail outlet to try your hand at it, we recommend that you stop there. Pay attention to the following brands:
- Convito;
- Starfood;
- Airhot;
- JEJU;
- Viatto.
The price tag for Chinese equipment is frankly low - from 7,000 to 15,000 rubles, depending on performance.
Hot dog machine from Russia
In stock Russian manufacturers, which are engaged in equipping catering establishments, you can also find machines for preparing hot dogs. Their quality is head and shoulders above that of Chinese manufacturers. This can be seen in the materials, build quality, and heating elements.
Russian equipment for preparing fast food can last for years, provided it is regularly serviced. We recommend paying attention to the following companies:
Domestic manufacturers are able to provide a reliable, wear-resistant hot dog machine. The price for it, depending on the model, varies from 15,000 to 25,000 rubles.
Equipment from Europe
The equipment produced in Italy, France, and Germany is of impeccable quality. The only “but” is that it is designed to equip small enterprises. 
The European hot dog machine provides basically an elegant French hot dog. The manufacturers are as follows:
- RollerGrill (a legend on the market);
- Sirman;
- Bartscher.

Today we will go through catering and tell you about a business idea directly related to human needs. Of course, many will say that these are very vague needs. However, food, even such as hot dogs, has been and will remain in demand among people.
Of course, our business will not be of a mass nature and I will not say that we will introduce this food into large-scale production. The object of our activity will be small mobile distribution points.
I note that the most business ideas for selling hot dogs is not enough to fully open your own business, for this it is worth preparing a full-fledged business plan.
Business selling hot dogs
Street eateries have always been and will remain interesting and visited. It all depends on where they are located and, of course, competition. Therefore, there are probably always many people in this area of business who want to open their own business.
After all, man is a creature who will always eat, and food is one of the components of human life.
Of course, our idea for a business selling hot dogs is not particularly useful, and it is not on a par with such ideas as, for example, mass production, but you can make money on it.
All you need is a keen acumen and intelligence in order to predict the next large crowd of people, as well as prepare a plan for your business (so as not to burn out). Let's talk about this in order.
How to start a hot dog business
For a successful and targeted start, you will not do without special equipment.
The apparatus for producing hot dogs is something like an outdoor oven, just well assembled.
I will not indicate places where you can purchase this equipment. You can easily find all the information on Google.
As for the price range, it is not great. You can easily buy yourself such know-how from 13,000 to 20,000 rubles inclusive.
The price will be determined by the functionality of the device, however, even with the cheapest device, the hot dogs will be the same as with the most expensive one.
It's up to you to decide. The only question is convenience. But from the experience of my colleagues, we can say that the first days will be difficult even on the most expensive device, everything will come with experience.
Then you should find places to buy products for production. Here I advise you to contact large suppliers, it’s just easier to negotiate with them and you can get good discounts when purchasing.
The product range when selling hot dogs is not large. You need buns, sausages and of course various additives for taste such as mustard and ketchup.
Then you should think about the question of whether you will work independently or hire an employee.
Everything here is purely individual and the decision is only yours. Maybe you want to have additional income and earn money while doing your main activity.
Or maybe you are unemployed and have free time. That's all with the organization for now. Let's think about what we should do with the place of sale and who we should actually sell it to.
Choosing a place to sell hot dogs
On the issue of places, I advise you to use the experience from the article on.
In general, the object of your close attention should be mass celebrations. To put it simply, those places where there is always a congestion of a huge number of people.
For example, in a small town it could be a city day or the arrival of a popular artist.
Again, from experience and stories on the Internet, I can say that the most effective means informing about upcoming gatherings of a large number of people may well be the Internet.
Many owners of mobile eateries have long learned information about upcoming rallies, demonstrations or open-air concerts, where the organizers often indicate the approximate crowd of people.
At such meetings everything is usually sold, because... staying outdoors for a long time will one hundred percent whet people’s appetites, and here you are with a last-minute offer for a snack.
So it is worth paying special attention to these places and focusing the main resources on such events. If we talk about permanent income, then the situation is more difficult.
If you want to do this business every day, then I advise you to sell hot dogs not in one place, but to do something like independent delivery to the place.
For example, you have probably seen more than once how a person walks around offices or production facilities and offers hot cakes and all sorts of things.
This is exactly what you should do. By the way, the audience will be no less than at the bottom of the city, believe me.
The only disadvantage will be the fact that with such a sale the price should be lower than at the same holiday.
I myself witnessed how at one of the concerts hot hot dogs were priced at 300 rubles apiece. Moreover, there was a queue of about 20 people.
You understand, 6,000 rubles are not lying around on the road. It’s just that during the holidays people are more relaxed and sometimes they don’t realize that they are buying a bun and sausage at exorbitant prices.
So I ask you to devote the lion’s share of time to these moments and assess the situation even before the start of sales. I hope we were useful to you. I hope you will also be interested in the material: .
