If you are reading this during an outage or a kitchen failure, here is the short version: call (888) 385-5513, 24/7. This page is a checklist for the first 24 hours of renting an emergency mobile kitchen trailer, from the call to the first hot meal, written for facility managers, food-service directors and construction site supervisors. For product sizes and equipment lists, see the mobile commercial kitchen trailer page. For the types of events that trigger a rental, see our emergency mobile kitchen page.
Call the 24/7 Emergency Line and have these ready: site address, contact person, number of meals per day, what failed, and power and water status. We ask about site access too, because a 40ft trailer needs a clear route.
Mark a level pad near power and water. Confirm whether a ramp or stairs will be needed, and who on site can sign for the delivery. If the grid is down, plan for a generator sized to the trailer.
Setup takes about 5 hours for a kitchen, plus 4 to 6 hours if a ramp is needed. Once power and water are connected, we walk through the equipment with your cook so the first service goes smoothly. If cold storage was lost, add a refrigeration trailer; see the emergency refrigeration trailer page.
