A short-term kitchen rental after a failure and a long-term kitchen lease during a rebuild start the same way: a mobile kitchen for Fairbanks North Star Borough is matched to the menu, the crew and the power available. Crews working in Fairbanks and North Pole often share a kitchen plan, so one rental can serve more than one site.

Kitchens in the fleet run from the 24ft Mobile Kitchen up to the 40ft Bulk Combo Kitchen. For a site like this one, the 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen, 38ft Mobile Kitchen and 28ft Mobile Kitchen are the models to compare first, each with its listed equipment and electrical requirements.

Before delivery, confirm the pad, the electrical service, potable water and a wastewater route. Fairbanks North Star Borough environmental health or the local health authority usually reviews a temporary kitchen, and their requirements vary, so involve them early. Mobile kitchens can be rented for one week or on monthly terms, including long-term leases for work that runs through a full construction season. Check the authority that covers the site itself; what cleared in Fairbanks is no guarantee for North Pole.

If the dish room is closed too, add a warewashing trailer. The 22 to 26ft Low-Temp Dishwashing Trailer needs 220V, single phase, 150A; plan a drain route sized for continuous washing. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in North Pole as it does here.

When a compressor quits, product loss follows within hours. Emergency refrigerated trailers, such as the 20ft LT Refrigerated Trailer, are rented to restaurants, hotels, hospitals and institutions around Fairbanks North Star Borough. A walk-in that fails in Fairbanks starts the same clock on the stock inside.

Rental customers in Fairbanks North Star Borough are commercial, institutional and public: school districts, municipal agencies, hotels and jails.

North Pole (about 2,505 residents) and Fairbanks (about 31,732 residents) each have their own mix of hospitals, schools and plants, but the reasons they rent line up.
