2.The health department needs paperwork
Ask your local health office what it wants before the trailer arrives in Imperial. We send the equipment list and electrical data for the unit assigned to you.
3.Your kitchen is closing for renovation
Tell us the closing date and meals per day. We'll size a kitchen trailer for Imperial and schedule delivery before the last day in the old kitchen.
4.You serve on reusable trays and plates
Pair the kitchen with a dishwashing trailer so warewashing keeps pace. Volume decides between push-through and conveyor machines.

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
Trailers arrive ready for hookup, so setup takes hours rather than days.
24/7 Emergency Service
Breakdowns don't keep office hours, and neither does our phone.
End-to-End Project Support
One team handles sizing, utilities planning, delivery, setup, and pickup.
Flexible Rental Solutions
Short-term rentals for emergencies and long-term leases for rebuilds, on the same terms.
Heavy-Duty Commercial Equipment
Stainless interiors and commercial appliances sized for real meal counts, not events.
Experienced Logistics Coordination
Power, water, wastewater, and trailer placement are planned before delivery day.
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 Imperial
Planning a kitchen rental in Imperial
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 Imperial, 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 Imperial, 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 Imperial 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 Imperial, California, the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services 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 Imperial
A standard kitchen trailer for three months starts at $14,985 in equipment in Imperial; 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 Imperial
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.
