Local facts
Houston at a glance
- Population

- Residents, per GeoNames
Houston is within about 15 straight-line miles of Wasilla. Metro traffic and site access usually set the delivery window more than distance does, so we confirm both with your quote. The same route covers nearby Knik-Fairview and Wasilla.
Local planning
Where Houston projects usually start
1.Your kitchen is closing for renovation
Tell us the closing date and meals per day. We'll size a kitchen trailer for Houston and schedule delivery before the last day in the old kitchen.
2.Power at the site is limited
Our kitchens list 220V single-phase service at 200 to 220 amps. Have an electrician confirm what's available near the parking spot before you pick a size.
3.The health department needs paperwork
Ask your local health office what it wants before the trailer arrives in Houston. We send the equipment list and electrical data for the unit assigned to you.
4.The site entrance is tight
Send photos or a site plan. Long trailers need a clear turning path; we'll confirm the route and placement before the delivery date.
We also deliver to Meadow Lakes and Big Lake, so a multi-site operator can plan kitchens across the area on one set of terms.

Rental terms at a glance
Here's how a rental works, wherever the job is. A quote covers the equipment, delivery, setup, and pickup for your location. An inquiry doesn't reserve equipment; we confirm availability for each project.

Hours
Calls answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including emergencies.
Setup time
Overall about 5 hours for kitchen and dishwashing trailers, about 1 hour for other units. With stairs, 5 to 15 minutes when stairs are needed; with a ramp, 4 to 6 hours when a ramp is needed.
Delivery and GPS
Delivery is scheduled for your site and confirmed in the quote. GPS tracking possible on request.
Why choose us
Why food service teams choose Family Entertainment Group USA
When a kitchen goes offline, the meals don't stop. Patients still eat at noon, students still line up, and crews still need dinner. A working temporary kitchen, dish line, and cold storage keep that schedule intact while the permanent space is rebuilt or repaired.
Accelerated Deployment
Delivery is scheduled around the day your kitchen closes, so there's no gap in service.
24/7 Emergency Service
Our line is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so a failed walk-in at 2 a.m. gets a real answer.
End-to-End Project Support
From the first call to the last day on site, you have one contact for the rental.
Flexible Rental Solutions
Extend if the renovation slips; terms are set by week or month.
Heavy-Duty Commercial Equipment
Commercial ranges, convection ovens, tilting skillets, and dish machines built for institutional volume.
Experienced Logistics Coordination
We coordinate access, setup timing, and pickup so the work around the trailer keeps moving.
Why clients trust us
What you see is what we quote: a named trailer, its listed equipment, a starting monthly price, and a person on the phone any hour. We serve hospitals, nursing homes, schools and universities, correctional facilities, government and military sites, hotels, resorts, and caterers.
In Houston
Planning a kitchen rental in Houston
Read these as what-if planning notes. They describe common situations, not customer stories.
1. After a storm, flood, or outage
If severe weather floods a hospital basement kitchen in Houston, the cooking line may be out for weeks while it's dried, inspected, and rebuilt. A mobile kitchen trailer parked near the loading dock could carry meal service through the repair.
2. Major construction
When a hospital adds a wing, utility tie-ins can take the existing kitchen offline in phases. In Houston, a phased project like that could run food service from a leased mobile kitchen during each shutdown.
3. Kitchen renovation
Hotel kitchen remodels collide with banquet calendars. A hotel in Houston could keep its events booked by running them from a rented commercial kitchen beside the building.
4. Emergency equipment access
During a declared emergency in Houston, Alaska, the Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management and local emergency managers direct public relief logistics, staging areas, and road access. Our deliveries are separate private arrangements: we confirm the route, site entrance, and placement with you, and follow any access limits officials publish.
5. What a rental costs in Houston
A standard kitchen trailer for three months starts at $14,985 in equipment in Houston; add a dish trailer from $4,995 a month or cold storage from $1,895 a month. These starting rates apply in every location we serve. Delivery, setup, pickup, utilities, and permits are quoted for your address. Compare every unit's price or build an estimate in the rental calculator.
24/7 emergency line
Emergency kitchen rentals in Houston
A fire, flood, or failed hood can close a kitchen overnight. Call any hour and have ready: your address, meals per day, the date the kitchen went down, and the power and water available on site.
