Planning questions for Howard kitchens
1.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.
2.Power at the site is limited
Our kitchens list 220V single-phase service at 200 to 220 amps. Have an electrician confirm what's available near the parking spot before you pick a size.
3.You need a quote for a budget request
Send the location, dates, and equipment list. We'll quote equipment, delivery, setup, and pickup as separate lines so you can budget them.
4.The health department needs paperwork
Ask your local health office what it wants before the trailer arrives in Howard. We send the equipment list and electrical data for the unit assigned to you.
Projects in Howard often share delivery planning with nearby Vilas and Shannon Colony; the terms and starting prices are the same in each.

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
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
You get help matching the trailer to your menu, staff, and site before anything ships.
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
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 Howard
Planning a kitchen rental in Howard
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 Howard could move service into a kitchen trailer parked outside until the space is cleared.
2. Major construction
When a hospital adds a wing, utility tie-ins can take the existing kitchen offline in phases. In Howard, a phased project like that could run food service from a leased mobile kitchen during each shutdown.
3. Kitchen renovation
Hotel kitchen remodels collide with banquet calendars. A hotel in Howard could keep its events booked by running them from a rented commercial kitchen beside the building.
4. Emergency equipment access
During a declared emergency in Howard, South Dakota, the South Dakota Department of Public Safety 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 Howard
A standard kitchen trailer for three months starts at $14,985 in equipment in Howard; 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 Howard
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 Howard
Do you deliver kitchen trailers in Howard?
Yes. We serve Howard 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 Howard; trailers are delivered to your site.
How much does a mobile kitchen rental cost in Howard?
The same starting prices apply in Howard as everywhere we serve: kitchens from $4,995 per month, dishwashing trailers from $4,995, and refrigeration from $1,895. Delivery, setup, and pickup for Howard are quoted for your address.
Can I get an emergency kitchen trailer in Howard?
Call (888) 385-5513, 24/7. We'll check which kitchen trailers are available for Howard, 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?
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.
What type of dishwashing trailer do I need?
Match it to volume. A 22 to 26 ft low-temperature push-through trailer handles moderate service; 30 and 38 ft conveyor trailers handle hospital, campus, and correctional volume. Note that the 30 ft conveyor trailer needs three-phase power.
What size kitchen trailer do I need?
It depends on meals per day, menu, and staff. A 24 or 28 ft standard kitchen suits conventional meal service; a 38 or 40 ft kitchen adds fryers, double-stack ovens, and tilting skillets; a 40 ft bulk kitchen is built for institutional volume. Tell us your meal count and menu and we'll recommend a size.
