Temporary Kitchen for Schools (K-12)

NSLP-compliant meal production that keeps students fed through kitchen renovations, new construction, and district-wide feeding programs.

  • The cafeteria is closing — but lunch isn't optional

    School districts serve hundreds of thousands of meals per week under strict USDA National School Lunch Program requirements. When a school kitchen shuts down for renovation or a new facility is being built, every student still needs a compliant breakfast and lunch every school day. Busing meals from another school introduces food safety risks, transportation costs, and cold-chain complications that put NSLP compliance at risk.

    A code-compliant kitchen on school grounds, serving from day one

    Kitchen Corps installs a temporary commercial kitchen directly at your school that meets all health department and NSLP requirements. Your cafeteria staff prepares the same menus on the same campus — hot meals produced on site, served fresh, fully compliant. For multi-school districts, Kitchen Corps can deploy units across multiple campuses simultaneously to support district-wide renovation programs.

Why Schools (K-12) operators call us

When the kitchen goes down, feeding can’t. Here’s what matters most.

NSLP compliance maintained

On-site meal production meets USDA National School Lunch Program requirements — no bused meals, no cold-chain risks, no compliance gaps.

Multi-school deployment

District-wide renovation programs often affect multiple campuses at once. Kitchen Corps can deploy and manage units across several schools simultaneously.

Right-sized for school volume

From a single production trailer for a small elementary school to a 3-Wide facility for a large high school — scaled to your student count and meal periods.

Summer construction timeline

Most school kitchen renovations start over summer break. Kitchen Corps coordinates delivery and setup so the temporary kitchen is operational before the first day of school.
