Warewashing is easy to overlook until the dish room is the thing that is down. Dishwashing trailers like the 38ft Low-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer and the 38ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer can be rented with a kitchen or on their own for Alamogordo sites. Capitan, 50 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.

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 Alamogordo. Las Cruces sits in Doña Ana County, which has 8 federal declarations on record; a walk-in that fails there starts the same clock on the stock inside.

NOAA's 1991 to 2020 county normals put the average January low in Otero County at 27°F and the average July high at 89°F, with about 13 inches of precipitation a year. January lows run about 5 degrees warmer than the average New Mexico 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 in Hatch, 71 miles away, and Elephant Butte use the same checklist; only the pad and the paperwork change.

• 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.
• Approvals: the local health authority for Otero County decides what review a temporary kitchen needs, so ask first.

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