ABSTRACT

— This study aimed to create a solar-powered food cart and assess the state of hygienic food preparation in the food cart businesses along Dipolog City Boulevard. The interpretation of the findings concludes that Dr. Garvin’s Eight Dimensions collects data through questionnaires. A total of 55 people responded, comprising food cart sellers, educators, business managers, and a TESDA representative. The mean and average weighted values were applied to the data. Many researchers conducted creative experiments to enhance the street food vendors’ quality of service, with a focus on sanitation and hygiene in food carts. According to Syuhaida Idha Abd Rahim’s (2018) study, cleanliness and personal hygiene are essential components of our existence. There is an immediate need to increase the efficacy and efficiency of food systems. The complexity of this challenge is increased by several significant issues, including the more complicated food supply chains, environmental limitations, an aging population, and changing consumer tastes and food consumption habits (King, T. et al., 2017). It is recommended that the administration or the local government of Dipolog strongly encourage allocating funds to mass-produce this project so that other vendors with street food carts, specifically in Dipolog City Boulevard, can avail themselves of its usefulness. Enhancing the solarpowered food cart’s features and design may improve its durability and quality. Keywords — Food Cart, Solar Power, Vendors, Street Food Cart, Multi-Featured Food Cart
