Local planning
Common situations in West Des Moines
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 walk-in cooler or freezer just failed
Call the 24/7 line first. Have the temperature you need and the power near your back door ready, and we'll check refrigerated trailers available for your address.
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 West Des Moines often share delivery planning with nearby Windsor Heights and Clive; 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
We plan the trailer, route, and placement up front, which shortens the time from call to first meal.
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
Rent for a week, a month, or a long-term lease that follows your construction schedule.
Heavy-Duty Commercial Equipment
Stainless interiors and commercial appliances sized for real meal counts, not events.
Experienced Logistics Coordination
Delivery windows, stairs or ramps, and utility hookups are agreed in advance.
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 West Des Moines
Planning a kitchen rental in West Des Moines
Read these as what-if planning notes. They describe common situations, not customer stories.
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 West Des Moines could move service into a kitchen trailer parked outside until the space is cleared.
2. Major construction
Remote job sites near Windsor Heights 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
Hotel kitchen remodels collide with banquet calendars. A hotel in West Des Moines 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 West Des Moines, Iowa, the Iowa 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 West Des Moines
Budget from $1,895 a month for emergency cold storage in West Des Moines, $4,995 for a dish trailer, and $4,995 for a full kitchen trailer, by the month or the week. 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 West Des Moines
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.

Kitchen rental questions in West Des Moines

Can I rent a temporary kitchen during a renovation?

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.
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.
