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
Breakdowns don't keep office hours, and neither does our phone.
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
Extend if the renovation slips; terms are set by week or month.
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 Mankato
Planning a kitchen rental in Mankato
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 Mankato could move service into a kitchen trailer parked outside until the space is cleared.
2. Major construction
New construction on a campus often closes the old kitchen before the new one opens. A university in Mankato building a new dining hall could bridge the gap with a kitchen trailer rental and a dishwashing trailer.
3. Kitchen renovation
Summer is when schools redo cafeterias. A district in Mankato 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 Mankato, Minnesota, 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 Mankato
In Mankato, 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

FAQ
Kitchen rental questions in Mankato
Do you deliver kitchen trailers in Mankato?
Yes. We serve Mankato 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 Mankato; trailers are delivered to your site.

Can I get an emergency kitchen trailer in Mankato?
Call (888) 385-5513, 24/7. We'll check which kitchen trailers are available for Mankato, 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.
Do temporary kitchen trailers need permits?
Often, yes, but it varies. Health, building, fire, and temporary-use approvals depend on your city or county, your facility, and how the kitchen will be used. Check with your local authorities early; we can share equipment details they ask for.
What kitchen equipment can I rent?
Mobile kitchen trailers from 24 ft to 40 ft, dishwashing trailers with push-through or conveyor machines, and refrigerated trailers and containers. Kitchens range from standard cooking lines to bulk kitchens with tilting skillets and walk-in coolers.
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.
