Menu and volume
List the meals, busiest service period, preparation tasks and staff who will use the temporary kitchen. Request the layout and equipment list for the unit offered.

Plan a temporary commercial kitchen in Barstow, California around your menu, meal volume, site access and dates. The local example below shows one situation to discuss with FFM; the actual trailer, delivery route and price are confirmed for your project.
01 / San Bernardino County · Mojave Desert (High Desert)
Hypothetical rental example. This is not an FFM customer or completed deployment.
If a future Barstow rail contractor needs meals at an outlying jobsite, it could plan a mobile kitchen trailer before setting its shift schedule. Workers traveling from Yermo and Daggett would also need refrigerated food storage and a shower combo if the camp has no permanent amenities.
In June 2026, Barstow's city council approved BNSF's proposed 4,500-acre Barstow International Gateway west of the city, including an intermodal facility, rail yard, and warehouses. Approval does not establish that construction has begun. (Context only: the scenario does not describe BNSF.)
02 / Equipment plan
Quote a mobile kitchen trailer with a refrigerated trailer. Ask whether a shower combo is available for the crew.
For the hypothetical outlying Barstow rail jobsite, request a mobile kitchen trailer that can support meals across the proposed work shifts. Give FFM expected crew counts, service times, menu, and the distance between the trailer pad and work areas. Ask for a layout review before choosing cooking and serving equipment. An outlying site also needs a clear delivery approach, a level position, and a plan for power, potable water, wastewater, and ongoing servicing.

Share the exact address, a site plan and photos of the approach. Confirm trailer turning space, level placement, staff access and the route between the kitchen and serving area.
Review power, potable water, wastewater, grease handling, ventilation clearance and any approvals before the permanent kitchen goes offline.
03 / Site checklist
Identify a safe equipment position and the utilities actually available at your address. Give the team the length and width of the proposed pad, any gate or overhead restrictions, and the distance to the serving point.
Ask California and local food-service reviewers which permits and inspections apply. Delivery, connections and equipment availability are quoted for your exact site and dates.
04 / Published starting rates
These published starting prices help frame a Barstow project. Your written quote confirms the available trailer, rental period, delivery route and site work.
Mobile kitchen trailer: 24–44 ft range shown in the FFM rate guide; one-week minimum. Estimated setup and delivery starts at $850 and varies by distance. Base rates include pre-delivery sanitization, entry steps, leveling and shore-power cable hookup assistance. Freight or mileage beyond 100 miles, fuel, greywater pumping and local health permits are billed separately. Final scope and pricing are confirmed in writing.
05 / Supporting equipment
Quote a refrigerated trailer for ingredients and meal holding, with its power and placement reviewed alongside the kitchen. If no permanent crew amenities exist, ask whether a shower combo can be quoted separately.
Review the refrigeration trailer and cold-storage options for the stock in this plan. Confirm chilled or frozen operation, storage volume, electrical supply, loading access and the temperature controls of the actual unit quoted. FFM's published refrigeration trailer range is $350–$650 per day with a three-day minimum.
If the existing wash area also closes, ask about a commercial dishwashing trailer. Share the busiest tray and pan return period, the sanitation method, hot-water source and wastewater plan. The published dishwashing range is $750–$1,200 per day with a three-day minimum.
For the crew facility mentioned in this example, ask whether a shower and restroom trailer can be quoted with the kitchen. Confirm the number of users, water and wastewater connections, placement and access before adding it to the rental plan.
Start with the cooking space your operation needs. Add washing, cold storage or crew facilities where the existing site cannot support the work.

Plan temporary cooking, preparation and service space during a renovation, construction project or kitchen closure. Match the proposed layout to your menu, busiest meal period, delivery access, power, water and wastewater.
