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 Bishop, 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 / Inyo County · Eastern Sierra
Hypothetical rental example. This is not an FFM customer or completed deployment.
A hypothetical Bishop caterer prepares meals for a separate event weekend when regular kitchen space is booked. An event kitchen trailer and refrigerated trailer could support service to visitors from West Bishop and Big Pine with an event-specific setup.
The official Bishop Mule Days schedule lists 2026 mule competitions, a parade, and concerts in Bishop. The schedule does not say that a particular food vendor rented trailers.

02 / Equipment plan
Quote a event kitchen trailer with a refrigerated trailer. Plan event-specific setup around access and utilities.
In the hypothetical Bishop event weekend, request an event kitchen trailer to add preparation space when the caterer's usual kitchen is booked. Share the menu, number of servings, peak service times, and a site plan showing supplier access and guest circulation. Ask FFM to review cooking, preparation, and holding functions against the event schedule. Verify the pad, utilities, wastewater plan, and any food-service approvals before committing to the temporary setup.

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 Bishop 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 refrigerated trailer for ingredients and prepared meals, placed close enough for safe kitchen workflow. Confirm its electrical needs, cold-storage capacity, delivery window, and quoted availability for the event dates.
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.
