Illinois Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals Serving Berkeley
When a commercial kitchen in Berkeley has to close, a temporary kitchen rental parked outside keeps meals on schedule, joined by a dishwashing trailer or a refrigerated trailer as needed. Use them for an emergency closure or a scheduled remodel, on short-term or long-term terms, with weekly and monthly options. Facilities that serve residents, students, inmates, or guests every day, from nursing homes to universities to resorts, are our usual customers. Tell us where the trailer will park and what power and water you have; we plan the delivery route and the setup from there. Call 24/7 or request a quote online, and we'll confirm availability for your dates.

Local planning
Common situations in Berkeley
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.The health department needs paperwork
Ask your local health office what it wants before the trailer arrives in Berkeley. We send the equipment list and electrical data for the unit assigned to you.
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.Crews will stay on site
Add shower and restroom trailers, a laundry trailer, or sleeper containers to the kitchen delivery so the whole site is planned at once.
Projects in Berkeley often share delivery planning with nearby Bellwood and Hillside; the terms and starting prices are the same in each.

Why choose us
Why food service teams choose Family Entertainment Group USA
Renovations run long, compressors fail on holidays, and inspections don't wait. The point of a rental kitchen is that your food service keeps running on its normal timetable while the real kitchen is torn out, fixed, or replaced.
Accelerated Deployment
Trailers arrive ready for hookup, so setup takes hours rather than days.
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
Short-term rentals for emergencies and long-term leases for rebuilds, on the same terms.
Heavy-Duty Commercial Equipment
Commercial ranges, convection ovens, tilting skillets, and dish machines built for institutional volume.
Experienced Logistics Coordination
Power, water, wastewater, and trailer placement are planned before delivery day.
Why clients trust us
We don't hide the details. Every trailer page lists its equipment and electrical needs where we have them, every unit shows a starting monthly price, and our line is staffed around the clock. We serve hospitals, nursing homes, schools and universities, correctional facilities, government and military sites, hotels, resorts, and caterers.
In Berkeley
Planning a kitchen rental in Berkeley
These are the situations that usually lead to a call. Each one is a scenario to plan around, not a description of a specific customer.
1. After a storm, flood, or outage
When a storm knocks out power across Berkeley and nearby Bellwood, kitchens that lost their walk-ins compete for the same repair crews. Booking refrigerated trailers early keeps product cold while you wait your turn.
2. Major construction
Large building projects sometimes need to feed crews or keep an occupied building's cafeteria running. A project in Berkeley could place a mobile commercial kitchen on site for the duration.
3. Kitchen renovation
Summer is when schools redo cafeterias. A district in Berkeley with summer meal programs could lease a mobile kitchen so the renovation doesn't stop service.
4. Emergency equipment access
During a declared emergency in Berkeley, Illinois, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and Office of Homeland Security 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 Berkeley
In Berkeley, mobile kitchen trailers start from $4,995 a month, dishwashing trailers from $4,995, and refrigeration from $1,895, with weekly terms on request. 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 Berkeley
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 Berkeley
Do you deliver kitchen trailers in Berkeley?
Yes. We serve Berkeley 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 Berkeley; trailers are delivered to your site.
How much does a mobile kitchen rental cost in Berkeley?
The same starting prices apply in Berkeley 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 Berkeley are quoted for your address.
Can I get an emergency kitchen trailer in Berkeley?
Call (888) 385-5513, 24/7. We'll check which kitchen trailers are available for Berkeley, 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.
Are long-term rentals available?
Yes. Rentals are available by the week or by the month (1 week or monthly), and long-term leases can run for the length of a multi-month renovation or rebuild.
Can I rent a temporary kitchen during a renovation?
Yes. Renovation is the most common reason for a kitchen rental. The trailer parks near your building, connects to power and water, and carries food service until the permanent kitchen reopens. Rentals run by the week or month, so the term can follow your construction schedule.
Does an inquiry reserve equipment?
No. An inquiry starts the conversation. A person reviews your request, confirms availability for your dates and location, and sends a quote. Equipment is reserved once you accept the quote.
