Planning questions for Lafayette kitchens
1.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.
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 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.
4.Your kitchen is closing for renovation
Tell us the closing date and meals per day. We'll size a kitchen trailer for Lafayette and schedule delivery before the last day in the old kitchen.

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
One team handles sizing, utilities planning, delivery, setup, and pickup.
Flexible Rental Solutions
Rent for a week, a month, or a long-term lease that follows your construction schedule.
Heavy-Duty Commercial Equipment
Equipment lists are published for each trailer, so you know what's inside before it arrives.
Experienced Logistics Coordination
Power, water, wastewater, and trailer placement are planned before delivery day.
Why clients trust us
Straight answers build trust: published equipment lists, starting monthly prices on every unit, setup times stated up front, and a 24/7 phone line. We serve hospitals, nursing homes, schools and universities, correctional facilities, government and military sites, hotels, resorts, and caterers.
In Lafayette
Planning a kitchen rental in Lafayette
The examples below are planning scenarios, not past jobs. They show how a rental fits the situations facilities run into most.
1. After a storm, flood, or outage
A long power outage can spoil a walk-in's contents and damage compressors. For a school district in Lafayette, an emergency refrigeration trailer rental could hold product while the permanent unit is repaired.
2. Major construction
Remote job sites near Saranap often have no restaurant within a short drive. A contractor there could feed crews from a mobile kitchen trailer, with shower and restroom trailers on the same delivery.
3. Kitchen renovation
Replacing a dish room is a renovation too. A hospital near Saranap could keep trays moving with a dishwashing trailer while the new machine is installed.
4. Emergency equipment access
During a declared emergency in Lafayette, 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 Lafayette
A standard kitchen trailer for three months starts at $14,985 in equipment in Lafayette; 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 Lafayette
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.
FAQ
Kitchen rental questions in Lafayette
Do you deliver kitchen trailers in Lafayette?
Yes. We serve Lafayette as part of our nationwide service area. Delivery timing and cost depend on your exact address, the trailer, and site access, and we confirm both in your quote. We have no office in Lafayette; trailers are delivered to your site.
How much does a mobile kitchen rental cost in Lafayette?
The same starting prices apply in Lafayette as everywhere we serve: kitchens from $4,995 per month, dishwashing trailers from $4,995, and refrigeration from $1,895. Delivery, setup, and pickup for Lafayette are quoted for your address.
Can I get an emergency kitchen trailer in Lafayette?
Call (888) 385-5513, 24/7. We'll check which kitchen trailers are available for Lafayette, confirm your power and water, and give you a delivery time once availability is confirmed. A refrigerated trailer can come on the same delivery if your walk-in is down too.
What type of dishwashing trailer do I need?
Match it to volume. A 22 to 26 ft low-temperature push-through trailer handles moderate service; 30 and 38 ft conveyor trailers handle hospital, campus, and correctional volume. Note that the 30 ft conveyor trailer needs three-phase power.
How long does setup take?
Overall setup is about 5 hours for kitchen and dishwashing trailers and about 1 hour for other units. Stairs take 5 to 15 minutes to place; a ramp, when needed, takes 4 to 6 hours.
What size kitchen trailer do I need?
It depends on meals per day, menu, and staff. A 24 or 28 ft standard kitchen suits conventional meal service; a 38 or 40 ft kitchen adds fryers, double-stack ovens, and tilting skillets; a 40 ft bulk kitchen is built for institutional volume. Tell us your meal count and menu and we'll recommend a size.
