Temporary kitchen rentals for renovation, construction and emergencies
Most kitchen trailer rentals start with one of three situations. Pick yours and we'll plan the temporary kitchen around it.
Kitchen renovation
A full kitchen remodel, a hood or line replacement, or a phased renovation that takes cooking offline for weeks or months. A kitchen trailer onsite keeps meal service running until the permanent kitchen reopens. Renovation guide
During construction
New builds, expansions and campus projects that need a temporary commercial kitchen before the new one is ready, or a modular kitchen to feed crews on a remote site. Short-term rental or long-term trailer leasing. Campus guide
Emergency kitchen
Fire, flood, storm damage, a failed hood or a boil-water order. An emergency mobile kitchen replaces cooking capacity while the building is cleaned, inspected and repaired. First 24 hours guide

Guide to renting a temporary commercial kitchen
Size the kitchen trailer by meals, staff and menu
Trailer length follows the work, not the other way around. Start with three numbers: meals per day, meals at the busiest service, and cooks working at once. Then list the appliances the menu actually needs, such as fryers, ranges, combi or convection ovens, steam kettles and tilt skillets. A school serving one lunch wave, a hospital running three meal periods and tray assembly, and a restaurant with an evening rush all need different layouts even at similar meal counts. Bulk kitchens suit high-volume batch cooking; combination kitchens put cooking and washing in one trailer.
Plan power, water, wastewater and fuel
Every mobile kitchen needs a confirmed utility plan: electrical service and distance to the connection, a potable water source and hot-water expectations, an approved wastewater route, and fuel if the unit uses it. A reference photo does not establish electrical load, so we confirm requirements for the exact trailer offered. In cold climates, add freeze protection for water and wastewater lines and a plan to keep the pad clear of snow and ice.
Build permits into the timeline
Ask your local or county health department which plan review and licensing process applies, and whether fire and building officials must review placement. Oakland County, Michigan, distinguishes fixed food establishments, mobile food establishments and special transitory food units. Review the county food safety guidance and confirm the appropriate route for a months-long renovation. Start the review as soon as dates are known.
Work backward from the first meal you cannot cook
Set the date the permanent kitchen closes, then allow time for delivery, connections, inspection, staff training and a test service before that day. Agree extension terms up front, because construction schedules move. For an emergency, the first call should cover what equipment is available, where it can be placed and when the site can receive it.
Why emergencies hit kitchens first
Commercial kitchens depend on power, safe water and working refrigeration all at once. In August 2022, a single 120-inch water main break led to more than 900,000 people in Southeast Michigan being advised to boil their water. That history illustrates why ice machines, prep sinks and dish rooms need an interruption plan. Plan temporary cooking and dishwashing before the next emergency, including the water supply and approvals the setup will need.
Commercial dishwashing trailer rentals
When the dish room goes offline with the kitchen, a mobile dishwashing trailer keeps plates, trays, pans and smallwares moving. We match the dishmachine to your meal volume, water and wastewater: low-temperature machines, high-temperature machines, or conveyor-style warewashing for high-volume operations. Ask about flight-type dishmachines for very high volume, and we'll confirm availability for your dates.
Portable dishwashing is also the first thing to plan during a boil-water emergency, when washing needs a controlled water supply. Short-term or long-term, onsite during construction or renovation. Starting price $4,995 plus delivery.
Choosing a machine: low-temperature dishmachines sanitize with chemicals and draw less power, while high-temperature machines sanitize with a hot final rinse and need more electrical capacity. Tell us meals per day and how fast trays and pans come back at peak, and we'll size the dish trailer and place it beside the kitchen trailer so soiled returns and clean racks never cross. Bring your current dish room layout and machine model to the first call; it is the fastest way to match a temporary dishwashing setup to your team.

If a walk-in cooler or freezer fails, the goal is to move product into a refrigerated trailer while it is still at a safe temperature. Tell us the volume or pallet count and whether you need cooler or freezer temperatures. For remote man camp basecamps, we plan sleeper, shower, restroom and laundry trailers alongside the kitchen and dining space, so one site plan covers housing and feeding your crew.
