Texas Mobile Kitchen Trailer Rentals, Plus Dish Trailers and Cold Storage
When a commercial kitchen in Texas has to close, a temporary kitchen rental parked outside keeps meals on schedule, joined by a dishwashing trailer or a refrigerated trailer as needed. They cover sudden equipment failures and planned renovations alike, on short-term rentals by the week or long-term leases by the month. Hospital food services, school nutrition teams, prison kitchens, hotel banquet staff, and catering crews are the people we work with most. Tell us where the trailer will park and what power and water you have; we plan the delivery route and the setup from there. Call 24/7 or request a quote online, and we'll confirm availability for your dates.

Statewide planning
Before your trailer arrives in Texas
- 1
Start with utilities. Most Texas facilities can feed a kitchen trailer from an existing service, but confirm the amperage and the distance to the parking spot before you choose a size.
- 2
Health and fire approvals for temporary food facilities vary from county to county. Your local authority decides; we can share equipment lists and electrical data for their review.
- 3
Think about the walk between the trailer and your serving line. Short, covered routes keep staff efficient through summer heat and storms.
Each city page has local planning notes, including Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston.
For food safety rules, the Texas Department of State Health Services is the state agency to know; the county or city health office covering Marfa or Houston usually reviews the temporary kitchen itself.
Small towns get the same trailers and terms, with delivery planned for rural roads: Marfa and Alpine.

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
Rent for a week, a month, or a long-term lease that follows your construction schedule.
Heavy-Duty Commercial Equipment
Equipment lists are published for each trailer, so you know what's inside before it arrives.
Experienced Logistics Coordination
We coordinate access, setup timing, and pickup so the work around the trailer keeps moving.
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 Texas
Planning a kitchen rental in Texas
Read these as what-if planning notes. They describe common situations, not customer stories.
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 Alpine 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 Austin could place a mobile commercial kitchen on site for the duration.
3. Kitchen renovation
Summer is when schools redo cafeterias. A district in San Antonio 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 Texas, the Texas Division of 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 Texas
A standard kitchen trailer for three months starts at $14,985 in equipment in Texas; 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 Texas
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.
