Michigan Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals in Traverse City
We rent kitchen trailers across Traverse City, along with dish trailers and refrigerated trailers for the cold storage that goes with them. Short-term rentals handle the urgent call after a failure; long-term leases carry a planned kitchen rebuild from demolition to reopening. They serve healthcare, education, corrections, government, military, and hospitality kitchens that can't stop feeding people. We coordinate delivery and setup, and can add shower or laundry trailers for crews on the same plan. Send your dates and location, and we'll check availability and send a quote.

Local planning
Where Traverse City projects usually start
1.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.
2.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.
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.The health department needs paperwork
Ask your local health office what it wants before the trailer arrives in Traverse City. We send the equipment list and electrical data for the unit assigned to you.
We also deliver to Greilickville and Chums Corner, so a multi-site operator can plan kitchens across the area on one set of terms.

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
One team handles sizing, utilities planning, delivery, setup, and pickup.
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 Traverse City
Planning a kitchen rental in Traverse City
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 kitchen fire, even a small one, usually means hood cleaning, inspection, and repairs before cooking resumes. A restaurant or care home in Traverse City 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 Traverse City could place a mobile commercial kitchen on site for the duration.
3. Kitchen renovation
Summer is when schools redo cafeterias. A district in Traverse City 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 Traverse City, 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 Traverse City
A standard kitchen trailer for three months starts at $14,985 in equipment in Traverse City; 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 Traverse City
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.

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