Truth or Consequences, NM Mobile Kitchen Trailer Lease for Renovations

Operations around Truth or Consequences that cannot pause food service can lease a mobile commercial kitchen for a week, a month or the length of a long renovation. A project that crosses into Elephant Butte (about 1,439 residents) usually keeps one menu, one crew and one power plan, which is why the kitchen is chosen first.

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.

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 30ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer can be rented with a kitchen or on their own for Truth or Consequences sites. Bayard, 60 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.

Refrigeration is an emergency. When a walk-in cooler or freezer breaks down in Truth or Consequences, stock starts to warm immediately, so an emergency refrigerated trailer such as the 20ft MT Refrigerated Trailer gives product somewhere cold to go. Socorro sits in Socorro County, which has 10 federal declarations on record; a walk-in that fails there starts the same clock on the stock inside.

A typical January night in Sierra County drops to 26°F, a typical July afternoon reaches 91°F, and the county gets about 12 inches of precipitation in a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020).

In dry country the water supply for the kitchen is the question to settle first, along with where wastewater will be held or hauled.
