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
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
Equipment lists are published for each trailer, so you know what's inside before it arrives.
Experienced Logistics Coordination
Delivery windows, stairs or ramps, and utility hookups are agreed in advance.
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 Buchanan
Planning a kitchen rental in Buchanan
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 long power outage can spoil a walk-in's contents and damage compressors. For a school district in Buchanan, an emergency refrigeration trailer rental could hold product while the permanent unit is repaired.
2. Major construction
Utility upgrades in an older building can cut gas or power to the kitchen for days at a time. A facility in Buchanan facing scheduled shutoffs could run meals from a leased kitchen trailer wired to temporary service.
3. Kitchen renovation
Correctional kitchens can't pause meal service for a remodel. A facility serving Buchanan could run a 40 ft bulk kitchen trailer inside its secure perimeter for the length of the job.
4. Emergency equipment access
During a declared emergency in Buchanan, Michigan, the Michigan State Police Emergency Management and 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 Buchanan
Budget from $1,895 a month for emergency cold storage in Buchanan, $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 Buchanan
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 Buchanan

Can I get an emergency kitchen trailer in Buchanan?
Call (888) 385-5513, 24/7. We'll check which kitchen trailers are available for Buchanan, 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 kitchen equipment can I rent?
