Colfax, WA Temporary Commercial Kitchen Rental and Lease Options

Temporary modular kitchens are how Colfax facilities keep serving through a closure. A modular commercial kitchen rental brings the cooking line to the site, with kitchen setup for renovations planned around your schedule. Palouse is only 11 miles away, with about 1,029 residents, and Pullman about 15 miles, so a project that spans them can share one kitchen plan.

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

If the dish room is closed too, add a warewashing trailer. The 38ft High-Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer needs 220V, single phase, 300A; plan a drain route sized for continuous washing. Clarkston, 37 miles away, has the same problem when the dish room closes before the cooking line does.

Emergency refrigeration for Colfax 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. Cheney sits in Spokane County, which has 31 federal declarations on record; a walk-in that fails there starts the same clock on the stock inside.

A typical January night in Whitman County drops to 26°F, a typical July afternoon reaches 86°F, and the county gets about 18 inches of precipitation in a year (NOAA, 1991 to 2020). July highs run about 8 degrees hotter than the average Washington county. Four distinct seasons mean the plan covers both ends: cold-weather water lines in winter and condenser airflow in summer.
