Local planning
Common situations in East Chicago
1.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.
2.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.
3.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.
4.The health department needs paperwork
Ask your local health office what it wants before the trailer arrives in East Chicago. We send the equipment list and electrical data for the unit assigned to you.
Projects in East Chicago often share delivery planning with nearby Hammond and Whiting; the terms and starting prices are the same in each.

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
Call any hour to start an emergency kitchen or refrigeration rental.
End-to-End Project Support
You get help matching the trailer to your menu, staff, and site before anything ships.
Flexible Rental Solutions
Rent for a week, a month, or a long-term lease that follows your construction schedule.
Heavy-Duty Commercial Equipment
Commercial ranges, convection ovens, tilting skillets, and dish machines built for institutional volume.
Experienced Logistics Coordination
Delivery windows, stairs or ramps, and utility hookups are agreed in advance.
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 East Chicago
Planning a kitchen rental in East Chicago
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
A kitchen fire, even a small one, usually means hood cleaning, inspection, and repairs before cooking resumes. A restaurant or care home in East Chicago could move service into a kitchen trailer parked outside until the space is cleared.
2. Major construction
Large building projects sometimes need to feed crews or keep an occupied building's cafeteria running. A project in East Chicago could place a mobile commercial kitchen on site for the duration.
3. Kitchen renovation
Summer is when schools redo cafeterias. A district in East Chicago 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 East Chicago, Indiana, state and local emergency management direct public relief logistics, staging areas, and road access; the state's page on USA.gov lists its agencies. Our deliveries are separate private arrangements: we confirm the route, site entrance, and placement with you.
5. What a rental costs in East Chicago
In East Chicago, 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 East Chicago
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.
