Temporary kitchen rental for Hollister facilities

For Hollister, a modular kitchen trailer brings griddles, ranges, ovens, sinks and refrigeration in one unit instead of rebuilding them piece by piece. San Juan Bautista is only 8 miles away, with about 2,118 residents, and Gilroy about 15 miles, so a project that spans them can share one kitchen plan.

Match the trailer to the menu: the 40ft Mobile Combo Kitchen for a focused cooking line, the 28ft Mobile Kitchen for more production room, and the 38ft Mobile Kitchen where bulk cooking or a walk-in cooler matters. Power requirements are shown on every page.

Dishwashing and emergency refrigeration in Hollister

A kitchen is only half of food service. A dishwashing trailer such as the 30ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer (220V, 3 phase, 200A) handles trays, plates and pans so Hollister kitchens do not fall back on disposables. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in Watsonville, 21 miles from here, as it does here.

A failed walk-in freezer is a race against thawing. Call the 24-hour line for an emergency refrigerated trailer; the 20ft LT Refrigerated Trailer lists 220V, single phase, 40 to 60A and a standard receptacle. Morgan Hill sits in Santa Clara County, which has 23 federal declarations on record; a walk-in that fails there starts the same clock on the stock inside.

Climate normals for San Benito County run from an average January low of 37°F to an average July high of 89°F, with roughly 17 inches of precipitation yearly. A mixed climate means a kitchen trailer sees freezing mornings and hot afternoons in the same year, and the setup allows for both.

What shapes kitchen rentals in Hollister, CA

What past disasters mean for kitchens in Hollister

OpenFEMA lists 16 disaster declarations that include San Benito County, going back to 1969. The most frequent incident types were flooding (6 declarations) and severe storms (5 declarations). San Juan Bautista has a page of its own with the federal declarations for its county, useful when one project crosses the line.

The most recent is Severe Winter Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (major disaster declaration, DR-4699), declared April 3, 2023, with the incident beginning February 21, 2023. Storm damage and long power outages can shut kitchens and warm the contents of walk-in coolers within hours. By incident type, the count is flooding 6, severe storms 5, hurricane 1, freezing conditions 1 and earthquake 1. By decade: 1960s 1, 1970s 1, 1980s 3, 1990s 4, 2000s 1, 2010s 2 and 2020s 4. Before that came Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (EM-3592, March 10, 2023), Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides (DR-4683, January 14, 2023), Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, and Mudslides (EM-3591, January 9, 2023), Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, and Mudslides (DR-4308, April 1, 2017) and Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, and Mudslides (DR-4301, February 14, 2017).

Between 2016 and 2025 the Storm Events Database recorded 26 county-based event records in San Benito County, with flood events the most common at 23. The costliest event with a reported dollar figure was a debris flow in January 2021, with about $4.5 million in property damage. Floodwater leaves a building standing but unusable, so cooking, dishwashing and cold storage have to run from a trailer on higher, firm ground.

San Benito County is the origin of 1 mapped wildfire of 1,000 acres or more since 2016, adding up to roughly 1,487 acres, according to NIFC. The biggest, Coyote, burned 1,487 acres in 2020. Smoke, evacuations and power shutoffs can close kitchens and spoil stock even when the flames never reach the building.

A declaration designates an area for federal assistance; it does not describe damage at any one address.

Major construction near Hollister

Since October 2021, 4 federal construction contracts of $500,000 or more have named San Benito County as the place of work. USASpending.gov shows a $1.9 million Department of the Interior contract, “Pinn 250983 - Rehabilitate Old Pinnacles,” starting August 2026 in San Benito County (award record). The Department of the Interior committed $1.6 million to “Rehabilitate Westside Power and Cooling Systems, Pinnacles National Park (Pinn)” in San Benito County, awarded September 2026 (award record). Work like this puts crews on a site for months, often far from a restaurant, and the meals become a logistics question before the first shift starts. A project in Gilroy, about 60,390 residents, would face the same phasing questions about gates, haul roads and pad space.

USASpending.gov shows a $1.9 million Department of the Interior contract, “Pinn 250983 - Rehabilitate Old Pinnacles,” starting August 2026 in San Benito County (award record).

Emergency access and staging near Hollister

Site checklist for Hollister

  • Potable water: kitchens and dishwashing trailers need a clean supply close to where they sit.
  • Contacts: name the person who will meet the delivery and the person who will approve the setup.
