Support on-site meal production while your permanent kitchen is under construction. KCI plans temporary kitchen facilities around your operation, site conditions, and building schedule.
New facilities and campus expansions may need foodservice capacity before a permanent kitchen is ready. A temporary kitchen provides dedicated space for meal preparation during that transition. KCI works with owners, contractors, and foodservice teams to configure temporary facilities around the people being served, daily production needs, and anticipated project duration.
Include the temporary kitchen in site planning alongside construction access, staging areas, and future building work. Review delivery routes, available space, utility requirements, and staff access before finalizing its location. Early planning helps your team account for installation and the transition into the permanent kitchen.
Plan cooking, preparation, cold storage, and warewashing areas around your menu, meal volume, and staff workflow. KCI handles delivery and installation and assists your project team in coordinating site access and utility connections.
