Ross, CA Temporary Commercial Kitchen Rental and Lease Options

Operations around Ross 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 San Anselmo, 1 mile from here, or into Larkspur, a kitchen rented here can be planned around both sites.

Common choices include the 28ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200A), the 38ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200 to 220A) and the 24ft Mobile Kitchen (220V, single phase, 200A). Each model page lists the equipment and the electrical service.

A kitchen is only half of food service. A dishwashing trailer such as the 38ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer (220V, single phase, 300A) handles trays, plates and pans so Ross kitchens do not fall back on disposables. San Rafael, 3 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.

Emergency refrigeration for Ross means cold storage that arrives as a trailer. The 20ft MT Refrigerated Trailer is one of three 20ft temperature configurations, subject to availability for your location. A call about emergency refrigeration from Corte Madera starts with the same three questions: what failed, what is inside and where the trailer can sit.

A typical January night in Marin County drops to 43°F, a typical July afternoon reaches 72°F, and the county gets about 36 inches of precipitation in a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020). January lows run about 7 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.

Expect requests in Ross from manufacturers, nursing homes, construction crews and school districts. A industrial facility temporary kitchen is a typical first conversation, followed by questions about power, water and placement. Care homes in Mill Valley and school kitchens in Tiburon, places of about 13,904 residents and about 8,933 residents, lose their lines for different reasons, but the rental that answers them is the same.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services counts 3 hospitals in Marin County: Kaiser Foundation Hospital, Marinhealth Medical Center and Novato Community Hospital. The county also has 11 nursing homes certified by Medicare or Medicaid, with about 948 beds. Public schools here number 74, enrolling about 30,067 students, with Novato Unified, Tamalpais Union High and San Rafael City Elementary among the larger districts (NCES).

• Manufacturing Plant Cafeteria Kitchen Rentals: three-phase power at the plant matched to the equipment
• Nursing Home and Assisted Living Kitchen Rentals: a need for emergency cold storage when a walk-in cooler fails
• Construction Site Mobile Kitchen Rentals for Crews: remote sites with no restaurants within reasonable distance
• School Cafeteria Kitchen Rentals During Renovation: equipment failures that close a single school's kitchen mid-year
