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 Ceres, 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 / Stanislaus County · Central Valley
Hypothetical rental example. This is not an FFM customer or completed deployment.
If a Ceres school kitchen or serving route closes during a future phase of campus work, its district could request a temporary commercial kitchen trailer. Staff would check student meal counts, delivery hours and a safe handoff route before choosing a pad. Classroom construction alone does not establish a current kitchen outage.
The Ceres Courier reported Measure Y's $114 million school bond and construction work at Ceres High School, Argus/Endeavor and other district campuses in 2026. The report does not describe an FFM rental or a cafeteria closure.

02 / Equipment plan
Ask FFM to size a mobile kitchen trailer for the school menu and lunch periods. Review refrigeration for milk and produce only if existing storage is affected. Confirm accessible entry, food-service approvals and separation from pupil routes.
For the hypothetical Ceres school kitchen interruption, use the district's breakfast and lunch counts, menu, serving periods and staff roster to size a temporary commercial kitchen trailer. Map the proposed pad against school bus circulation, student walkways and contractor access. Ask for the exact unit's cooking and hot-holding equipment, then confirm power, water, wastewater, grease handling, accessible entry and health review before scheduling the switch from the permanent kitchen.

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 Ceres 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 refrigeration trailer only if the existing cold room or food delivery route is affected. Document the storage temperature and the safe path for milk and produce. Temporary restrooms are a separate facility decision and should not be presented as a standard kitchen-rental inclusion.
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.
