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 Big Bear Lake, 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 · San Bernardino Mountains
Hypothetical rental example. This is not an FFM customer or completed deployment.
A fictional Big Bear Lake care home prepares for a utility shutoff that could interrupt its kitchen and walk-in cooler. It could quote an emergency kitchen trailer, generator-ready refrigerated trailer, and ADA ramp while coordinating staff from Big Bear City and Fawnskin.
In June 2026, public-safety power shutoffs affected parts of the Big Bear area as hot, windy conditions increased wildfire risk. The report describes outages around Big Bear Lake, not a specific care facility.

02 / Equipment plan
Quote a emergency kitchen trailer with a generator-ready refrigerated trailer. Request ADA ramp access and confirm site fit.
For the fictional Big Bear Lake care home, prepare an emergency kitchen trailer request before a utility shutoff affects cooking and cold storage. Record the residents' meal needs, staff shifts, menu constraints, and an alternate trailer position. Ask FFM what the offered kitchen can support and what power, water, and wastewater arrangements it requires. Plan accessible movement between residents and meal service, and confirm equipment and dispatch timing for the actual situation.

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 Big Bear Lake 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
Request a generator-ready refrigerated trailer, but confirm the trailer's electrical requirements and a separate power source. Ask whether an ADA ramp can fit the alternate site and serve the necessary route.
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.
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.
