Orinda, CA Temporary Commercial Kitchen Rental and Lease Options

Operations around Orinda that cannot pause food service can lease a mobile commercial kitchen for a week, a month or the length of a long renovation. If the work spills into Lafayette, 3 miles from here, or into Moraga, a kitchen rented here can be planned around both sites.

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

Rental customers in Orinda are commercial, institutional and public: nursing homes, jails, hotels and golf clubs. Each has its own pressure points, from a nursing home kitchen rental during a remodel to keeping staff fed through a long project. Care homes in Berkeley and school kitchens in El Cerrito, places of about 121,749 residents and about 26,409 residents, lose their lines for different reasons, but the rental that answers them is the same.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services counts 8 hospitals in Contra Costa County, among them Contra Costa Regional Medical Center, John Muir Behavioral Health Center, John Muir Medical Center - Concord Campus and John Muir Medical Center - Walnut Creek Campus.

A kitchen is only half of food service. A dishwashing trailer such as the 22 to 26ft Low-Temp Dishwashing Trailer (220V, single phase, 150A) handles trays, plates and pans so Orinda kitchens do not fall back on disposables. Warewashing needs the same hot water and drain plan in Pleasant Hill, 7 miles from here, as it does here.

Cooler or freezer down? Emergency refrigeration rental for Orinda 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 Walnut Creek starts with the same three questions: what failed, what is inside and where the trailer can sit.

Climate normals for Contra Costa County run from an average January low of 40°F to an average July high of 86°F, with roughly 19 inches of precipitation yearly. January lows run about 4 degrees warmer than the average California county. A mixed climate means a kitchen trailer sees freezing mornings and hot afternoons in the same year, and the setup allows for both.

Sites near Emeryville and Albany start from this same list, then adjust for their own pad, power and permits.

• Power: check the panel and service against the trailer's listed requirement before anything is scheduled.
• Water: arrange a potable water supply and a hookup point within reach of the trailer.
• People: decide who meets the driver, who signs off the setup and who calls us if something changes.

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