How Chelsea projects use a mobile commercial kitchen trailer
Crews who start before the restaurants open in Chelsea are the reason onsite construction kitchens exist, and a construction site with its own kitchen keeps people from leaving the job to eat.
Onsite construction near Chelsea
Chelsea is a very small town, and a large onsite construction crew can outnumber what its restaurants serve in a day. A portable kitchen trailer parked at the construction site solves lunch, with a shower trailer for longer jobs.
Where a Chelsea crew stays and eats
With Lebanon about 26 miles south, a Chelsea project has nearby lodging but a long lunch break. Renting a kitchen, cold storage and restrooms for the onsite construction crew keeps people on the job.
