North Carolina Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals and Leasing in Raleigh
We rent kitchen trailers across Raleigh, along with dish trailers and refrigerated trailers for the cold storage that goes with them. Rent one by the week after a breakdown or lease it by the month through a construction project; short-term and long-term terms are both available. They serve healthcare, education, corrections, government, military, and hospitality kitchens that can't stop feeding people. Tell us where the trailer will park and what power and water you have; we plan the delivery route and the setup from there. Request availability or a quote for your Raleigh project today.

Planning questions for Raleigh kitchens
1.The health department needs paperwork
Ask your local health office what it wants before the trailer arrives in Raleigh. We send the equipment list and electrical data for the unit assigned to you.
2.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.
3.Your kitchen is closing for renovation
Tell us the closing date and meals per day. We'll size a kitchen trailer for Raleigh and schedule delivery before the last day in the old kitchen.
4.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.

Rental terms at a glance
Here's how a rental works, wherever the job is. A quote covers the equipment, delivery, setup, and pickup for your location. An inquiry doesn't reserve equipment; we confirm availability for each project.

Hours
Calls answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including emergencies.
Setup time
Overall about 5 hours for kitchen and dishwashing trailers, about 1 hour for other units. With stairs, 5 to 15 minutes when stairs are needed; with a ramp, 4 to 6 hours when a ramp is needed.
Delivery and GPS
Delivery is scheduled for your site and confirmed in the quote. GPS tracking possible on request.
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
Trailers arrive ready for hookup, so setup takes hours rather than days.
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
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
Power, water, wastewater, and trailer placement are planned before delivery day.
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 Raleigh
Planning a kitchen rental in Raleigh
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
Water damage from a burst line can close a commercial kitchen without warning. A facility in Raleigh could keep serving from a temporary kitchen trailer while the floor and walls are opened up.
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 Raleigh facing scheduled shutoffs could run meals from a leased kitchen trailer wired to temporary service.
3. Kitchen renovation
A nursing home renovating its kitchen still serves three meals a day. In Raleigh, a facility like that could rent a kitchen trailer for the build and add a dish trailer to keep using reusable plates.
4. Emergency equipment access
During a declared emergency in Raleigh, North Carolina, the North Carolina 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 Raleigh
A standard kitchen trailer for three months starts at $14,985 in equipment in Raleigh; 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 Raleigh
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.
