Kitchens near Normandy Park and throughout Des Moines stay open with our portable kitchen trailers, plus dishwashing trailers for reusable ware and refrigeration trailers for product. Whether the closure is an emergency or a project on the calendar, you can rent short-term for weeks or lease long-term for many months. Schools, hospitals, hotels, golf and country clubs, and public kitchens keep cooking in them during repairs. We coordinate delivery, placement, and setup around your utilities, site access, and schedule. Tell us what's offline and when, and we'll check availability and send a quote.

Local facts
Des Moines is within about 10 straight-line miles of Tacoma. Metro traffic and site access usually set the delivery window more than distance does, so we confirm both with your quote. The same route covers nearby Lakeland North and Burien.
Local planning
Send the location, dates, and equipment list. We'll quote equipment, delivery, setup, and pickup as separate lines so you can budget them.
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.
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.
Tell us the closing date and meals per day. We'll size a kitchen trailer for Des Moines and schedule delivery before the last day in the old kitchen.

Why choose us
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.
We plan the trailer, route, and placement up front, which shortens the time from call to first meal.
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.
One team handles sizing, utilities planning, delivery, setup, and pickup.
Extend if the renovation slips; terms are set by week or month.
Commercial ranges, convection ovens, tilting skillets, and dish machines built for institutional volume.
We coordinate access, setup timing, and pickup so the work around the trailer keeps moving.
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 Des Moines

A kitchen fire, even a small one, usually means hood cleaning, inspection, and repairs before cooking resumes. A restaurant or care home in Des Moines could move service into a kitchen trailer parked outside until the space is cleared.
Remote job sites near Normandy Park often have no restaurant within a short drive. A contractor there could feed crews from a mobile kitchen trailer, with shower and restroom trailers on the same delivery.
Hotel kitchen remodels collide with banquet calendars. A hotel in Des Moines could keep its events booked by running them from a rented commercial kitchen beside the building.
During a declared emergency in Des Moines, Washington, the Washington Emergency Management Division 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.
