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 Calabasas, 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.

Hypothetical rental example. This is not an FFM customer or completed deployment.
If a Calabasas senior-living kitchen loses power, staff could ask about a temporary kitchen trailer while reviewing safe meal service and an alternate food-storage location. A refrigerated trailer may be useful only with a confirmed power source. The operator would set its own resident-care and food-safety response plan.
CBS Los Angeles reported planned overnight Southern California Edison safety outages for more than 500 Greater Mulwood customers during a July 2026 heat wave. City leaders raised concerns for older residents and people with disabilities. This report does not describe an FFM response.

02 / Equipment plan
Ask FFM to review an emergency mobile kitchen and separately priced refrigerated storage. Confirm the offered units' electrical requirements, generator compatibility, accessible entry, site approvals and delivery timing before relying on them for continuity.
For a hypothetical Calabasas care-facility outage, request an emergency mobile kitchen plan based on the residents' next meal deadline, dietary needs, peak tray count and the utilities that remain usable. Ask FFM for the exact offered unit's electrical load, cooking equipment and accessible entry details. The operator must confirm a safe pad, water, wastewater and required food-service approvals before using a trailer. Dispatch timing and an alternate power source need explicit confirmation.

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 Calabasas 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
If permanent cold storage is affected, ask for a refrigerated trailer and a separate power plan. Generator compatibility is a question for the specific unit, not a promised feature. Record the required storage temperature, product volume, loading path and who will monitor it during an outage.
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.
