Local facts
Houston at a glance
- Population
- About 2,296,224
- Residents, per GeoNames
Houston is more than 120 straight-line miles from the nearest large city we list, so a closed kitchen here rarely has a backup nearby. We plan the route, the arrival window, and any oversize-load timing with you before the trailer leaves, and book early when a renovation date is set.
Local planning
Where Houston projects usually start
1.The health department needs paperwork
Ask your local health office what it wants before the trailer arrives in Houston. We send the equipment list and electrical data for the unit assigned to you.
2.Your kitchen is closing for renovation
Tell us the closing date and meals per day. We'll size a kitchen trailer for Houston and schedule delivery before the last day in the old kitchen.
3.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.
4.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.
We also serve Austin and San Antonio, so a multi-site operator can plan kitchens across the area on one set of terms.

In Houston
Planning a kitchen rental in Houston
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
When a storm knocks out power across Houston and nearby Austin, kitchens that lost their walk-ins compete for the same repair crews. Booking refrigerated trailers early keeps product cold while you wait your turn.
2. Major construction
New construction on a campus often closes the old kitchen before the new one opens. A university in Houston 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 Houston 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 Houston, 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 Houston
In Houston, 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
