Mobile Kitchens: Buying vs. Renting

When you are looking for a mobile kitchen trailer, skid kitchen unit, tent kitchen or any other type of temporary kitchen, Mobile Kitchens USA has all your solutions. We are a leader in custom mobile kitchen design and we have many different options for purchase or for rent. In this article, we’d like to talk about the differences between buying and renting a mobile kitchen so you can decide which is best for you.

Buying a Mobile Kitchen

Buying a mobile kitchen unit is generally going to be the best option when you need a kitchen unit for long-term use or for recurring use as a business. Perhaps you own a catering company or you are looking to expand your restaurant offerings by establishing a mobile kitchen. Maybe you have a nonprofit organization like a food bank or disaster relief program. You need a kitchen that you can depend on and usually one that is easily transportable from location to location.

A mobile kitchen trailer or tent kitchen set-up is ideal for any mobile foodservice business or a situation where you need a kitchen that can travel with you. With Mobile Kitchens USA, you can pick the size of the unit and configure it exactly as you need it. It can be custom-built with all the appliances and equipment that you require to run your mobile kitchen right. We can also provide ongoing service, maintenance and repairs as you will likely put your mobile kitchen unit through the test over years of use.

You might also consider a skid kitchen or container unit if you want a pre-built kitchen delivered to your site for permanent use. Schools, hospitals, military bases, commercial complexes, assisted living communities and other organizations often prefer to have this type of kitchen unit onsite to conserve building space and provide ongoing food preparation and cooking services.

Renting a Mobile Kitchen

In most cases, clients opt to rent a mobile kitchen unit from Mobile Kitchens USA for use as a temporary kitchen. The good news is that even mobile kitchen rentals are 100% customizable. You still pick the type of unit, the size, the equipment and the overall configuration of the kitchen. Each one is tailored to your exact foodservice needs.

Mobile kitchen rentals are excellent for special events like concerts, sporting events, weddings, parties, street fairs and more. They are also a fantastic solution when you are doing a major kitchen renovation at your home or place of business. You can get a custom mobile kitchen unit delivered to your property for use as long as you need it. Then, when the lease is over, Mobile Kitchens USA will come take it away. It’s a very convenient option to provide uninterrupted food service while your normal kitchen is being renovated.

How long your mobile kitchen rental lasts is totally up to you. Whether you need it for a day, a week, a month or a year, Mobile Kitchens USA has you covered with lease options that allow you to keep and use your temporary kitchen as long as it is required.

So which is right for you, renting or buying? Either way, Mobile Kitchens USA is the company to turn to for quality mobile kitchen units and exceptional customer service. Call us today or visit our website to learn more about our modular kitchen units available for rent or purchase.
