Planning questions for Columbus kitchens
1.The health department needs paperwork
Ask your local health office what it wants before the trailer arrives in Columbus. We send the equipment list and electrical data for the unit assigned to you.
2.You serve on reusable trays and plates
Pair the kitchen with a dishwashing trailer so warewashing keeps pace. Volume decides between push-through and conveyor machines.
3.Your kitchen is closing for renovation
Tell us the closing date and meals per day. We'll size a kitchen trailer for Columbus and schedule delivery before the last day in the old kitchen.
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.
Facilities in Fall River or Reeseville get the same equipment list and starting prices as Columbus.

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
Trailers arrive ready for hookup, so setup takes hours rather than days.
24/7 Emergency Service
Breakdowns don't keep office hours, and neither does our phone.
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
Commercial ranges, convection ovens, tilting skillets, and dish machines built for institutional volume.
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 Columbus
Planning a kitchen rental in Columbus
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
If severe weather floods a hospital basement kitchen in Columbus, 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
Large building projects sometimes need to feed crews or keep an occupied building's cafeteria running. A project in Columbus could place a mobile commercial kitchen on site for the duration.
3. Kitchen renovation
Correctional kitchens can't pause meal service for a remodel. A facility serving Columbus 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 Columbus, Wisconsin, state and local emergency management direct public relief logistics, staging areas, and road access; the state's page on USA.gov lists its agencies. Our deliveries are separate private arrangements: we confirm the route, site entrance, and placement with you.
5. What a rental costs in Columbus
A standard kitchen trailer for three months starts at $14,985 in equipment in Columbus; 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 Columbus
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.

Do temporary kitchen trailers need permits?
Often, yes, but it varies. Health, building, fire, and temporary-use approvals depend on your city or county, your facility, and how the kitchen will be used. Check with your local authorities early; we can share equipment details they ask for.
Are long-term rentals available?
Yes. Rentals are available by the week or by the month (1 week or monthly), and long-term leases can run for the length of a multi-month renovation or rebuild.
