Plan a temporary commercial kitchen in Dana Point, 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 / Orange County · South Orange County coast
Hypothetical rental example. This is not an FFM customer or completed deployment.
A contractor working in Dana Point Harbor could ask about a mobile kitchen trailer for crew meals during a construction phase. A site plan should identify the approved pad, access around active work areas, meal shifts and utility connections. Harbor businesses considering temporary outdoor service would need a separate plan for customer circulation, permits and delivery windows.
The Dana Point Harbor Commercial Core project page says Phase 3 waterfront-building construction began in February 2026. The broader project is phased; this context does not identify a food-service closure, contractor request or FFM involvement.

02 / Equipment plan
Start with crew headcount, shifts, meal periods and the work functions that need to continue. Request a kitchen trailer layout for that menu, then check the permitted placement area, construction access, power, water and wastewater. Ask separately about refrigerated storage or crew facilities and confirm what can be delivered for the project dates.
For a Dana Point Harbor construction phase, a contractor can scope a mobile kitchen trailer by crew count, shift pattern, meal window and menu. Identify an approved staging pad away from active construction, with a truck route that remains open during scheduled deliveries. Harbor restaurants considering temporary outdoor service need their own customer-flow and permit review. Confirm utilities, access limits and the correct project phase before requesting a configuration.

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 Dana Point 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
A refrigerated trailer may support bulk food only after temperature, volume, electrical service and loading are checked. Shower or restroom trailers are separate requests requiring their own placement, water, wastewater, servicing and pricing confirmation.
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.
