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
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
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
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
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 Cardington
Planning a kitchen rental in Cardington
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
If severe weather floods a hospital basement kitchen in Cardington, the cooking line may be out for weeks while it's dried, inspected, and rebuilt. A mobile kitchen trailer parked near the loading dock could carry meal service through the repair.
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 Cardington 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 Cardington 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 Cardington, Ohio, the Ohio Emergency Management Agency 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 Cardington
A standard kitchen trailer for three months starts at $14,985 in equipment in Cardington; 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 Cardington
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.
