Tempe, AZ Temporary Commercial Kitchen Rental and Lease Options

Temporary modular kitchens are how Tempe facilities keep serving through a closure. A modular commercial kitchen rental brings the cooking line to the site, with kitchen setup for renovations planned around your schedule. If the work spills into Guadalupe, 2 miles from here, or into Chandler, a kitchen rented here can be planned around both sites.

Sizing starts with how many meals you serve. The 40ft Mobile Kitchen and 28ft Mobile Kitchen suit different kitchen volumes, and the 40ft Bulk Kitchen adds capacity for larger operations; compare their equipment lists and power needs before you choose.

Dishwashing trailers cover the other half of the line for Tempe facilities: low-temperature and high-temperature machines, push-through and conveyor styles, in several lengths. Start with the 22 to 26ft Low-Temp Dishwashing Trailer. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in Gilbert, 12 miles from here, as it does here.

Cooler or freezer down? Emergency refrigeration rental for Tempe is available on a short-term basis: ask for the 20ft MT Refrigerated Trailer or a different temperature setting when you call. A call about emergency refrigeration from Mesa starts with the same three questions: what failed, what is inside and where the trailer can sit.

A typical January night in Maricopa County drops to 41°F, a typical July afternoon reaches 105°F, and the county gets about 9 inches of precipitation in a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020). January lows run about 9 degrees warmer than the average Arizona county. At those temperatures a refrigerated trailer's condenser needs clear airflow, and shade or a short pad near a building helps both cooling and the crews working beside it.

Expect requests in Tempe from municipal agencies, prisons, universities and hotels. A municipal temporary kitchen is a typical first conversation, followed by questions about power, water and placement. Phoenix (about 1,673,164 residents) and Glendale (about 258,143 residents) each have their own mix of hospitals, schools and plants, but the reasons they rent line up.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services counts 53 hospitals in Maricopa County, 1 of them critical access, among them Abrazo Arrowhead Hospital, Abrazo Central Campus, Abrazo Scottsdale Campus and Abrazo West Campus. Certified nursing care adds 77 homes and roughly 9,110 beds. Public schools here number 1,271, enrolling about 735,079 students, with Mesa Unified District (4235), Chandler Unified District #80 (4242) and Peoria Unified School District (4237) among the larger districts (NCES).

The checklist does not change for Fountain Hills or Tolleson, but the pad, the power and the permit usually do.

• People: decide who meets the driver, who signs off the setup and who calls us if something changes.
• Access steps: ramp setup takes about 4 to 6 hours and stairs 5 to 15 minutes, so say early if the door needs either.
• Water: arrange a potable water supply and a hookup point within reach of the trailer.

The site planning guides cover each of these items in more depth.
