RECOVERY PLANNING GUIDE
Turn this question into an operating plan.
What Size Temporary Kitchen after Fire requires more than an equipment selection. Document the food-safety objective, the people and meal periods affected, the approved temporary workflow, and the decisions that must be completed before service resumes.
Planning priorities for this decision
- Start with meals per service period, menu, production method, storage and warewashing.
- Document available power, fuel, water, wastewater, grease handling and connection distances.
- Compare trailer, modular and support-unit layouts against delivery access and the approved site plan.
Information to collect first
- Current and reduced meal counts, service windows, menu and dietary requirements.
- Equipment that remains safe and available after the incident assessment.
- Site access, electrical service, fuel, water, wastewater and grease handling.
- Required approvals from the authority having jurisdiction and the organization’s insurer.
- A realistic restoration schedule with contingencies for inspection or construction delays.
Questions for the temporary-facility team
Ask which configuration supports the required workflow, how utility loads are documented, what the site must provide and which installation tasks depend on local contractors. Confirm transport, setup, rental or lease terms, support responsibilities and demobilization in a written proposal.
