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 Fort Bragg, 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 / Mendocino County · Mendocino Coast
Hypothetical rental example. This is not an FFM customer or completed deployment.
For a future Paul Bunyan Days weekend, a Fort Bragg food vendor could ask about a portable kitchen trailer for preparation and a separate refrigeration trailer for stock. The plan would account for the approved serving location, street closures, delivery windows and customer queues, with staffing from Mendocino and Cleone arranged around the event schedule. Confirm dates and vendor access with the organizer before requesting a project quote.
Paul Bunyan Days' official website lists the 2026 festival for September 4–7, with a four-day Labor Day program that includes a logging show and parade. These 2026 dates have passed; verify the next schedule and vendor requirements directly with the organizer. The event page is not evidence of an FFM contract or participation.

02 / Equipment plan
Share the menu, peak serving window, food volume, vendor footprint and event load-in schedule. Ask whether a temporary kitchen can fit the approved location, then quote refrigeration separately based on the stock and required temperature. Verify power, water, wastewater, fire access, permits, servicing and removal timing before confirming the layout.
For a future Fort Bragg festival, begin with the vendor's menu, prep work, busiest service interval and expected portions. Provide the approved footprint, event load-in schedule and street-access plan so a portable kitchen trailer can be reviewed without obstructing the parade route, public walkways or neighboring booths. Confirm where cooking may take place, utility availability, food permits, fire review, truck turning room and removal timing with organizers before requesting a quote.

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 Fort Bragg 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 refrigeration as a separate line item and identify temperature and storage needs. Confirm power, safe loading, servicing and delivery access during road closures. Restroom or family-suite facilities need their own event approval, site dimensions and written scope.
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.

This Fort Bragg rental scenario is hypothetical and does not describe a confirmed FFM customer or deployment.
Paul Bunyan Days fills downtown Fort Bragg every Labor Day weekend. The 2026 festival ran four days with trike races, a children's parade, a craft fair, a logging show and a Monday parade, and organizers call it the oldest and largest festival on the Mendocino Coast. For example, a Franklin Street café feeding festival crowds could keep extra stock in a refrigeration trailer behind the shop and serve a walk-up line from a portable kitchen trailer. ADA restroom trailers with family suites help serve families visiting from Mendocino and Cleone.
