About Mobile Kitchens
Mobile Kitchens is an Australian owned specialist in temporary and modular commercial kitchen solutions, providing kitchens for hire and sale throughout Australia and New Zealand.
For us, it’s not simply about supplying a kitchen. We understand food service operations because many of our team have worked hands-on in the food service industry. That practical experience means we understand workflow, equipment, food preparation, storage, warewashing and the operational pressures that come with keeping a commercial kitchen running.
For customers who have never used a temporary kitchen before, we make the process as straightforward as possible. Our team works with you to understand your operation, site and requirements before recommending a practical and cost-effective solution — from a single kitchen module through to a large, fully integrated temporary food service facility.
Over the years, Mobile Kitchens has developed the largest, newest and most versatile fleets of modular commercial kitchens available across Australia and New Zealand. Our kitchens can be configured to suit different operational requirements and are designed, fabricated and maintained in house, giving us greater control over quality, reliability and presentation.
Our kitchens are designed to meet or exceed applicable FSANZ requirements and are used across Health & Aged Care, Building & Construction, Defence, Mining, Hospitality, Events and Emergency Response. Our customers range from independent food service operators to major ASX-listed companies and government organisations.
What sets Mobile Kitchens apart is the combination of food service knowledge, specialist modular kitchen expertise and a substantial hire fleet. We don’t simply supply equipment — we provide complete temporary kitchen solutions designed around how our customers actually need to operate
Temporary Commercial Kitchen Specialists
Mobile Kitchens brings together decades of commercial food service, construction and modular kitchen experience. Because many of our team have worked directly in food service operations, we approach every project from an operational perspective — considering how the kitchen will actually be used, not simply how it will be built.
That experience extends from individual temporary commercial kitchens through to large, multi-module food service facilities supporting hospitals, aged care facilities, construction projects, mine sites, Defence operations and major events.
Our team understands that every operation is different. Kitchen layout, workflow, menu, meal volumes, staffing, equipment, refrigeration, storage and warewashing requirements all influence the right solution. That practical knowledge allows us to help customers develop a temporary kitchen that works for their operation from day one.
In-House Design & Project Planning
Every Mobile Kitchens project can be planned and designed by our in-house design team, giving customers a clear understanding of exactly what will be delivered before their kitchen arrives on site.
From individual kitchen layouts through to complex multi-module facilities, we can produce detailed floor plans, equipment layouts and site overlays showing how the proposed temporary kitchen will integrate with your existing site and operations.
Our design team works with you to consider kitchen workflow, equipment requirements, food preparation, refrigeration, storage, warewashing, staff movement, access, services and connection points. For larger projects, we can also develop complete site layouts incorporating multiple kitchen and food service modules.
This process takes the guesswork out of temporary kitchen hire. You can review the proposed layout, understand how the kitchen will operate and see exactly what you will receive before the project proceeds to mobilisation.
Because our design, project and operations teams work together in-house, any changes can be identified and resolved during the planning stage rather than after the kitchen arrives on site.
From initial concept and site planning through to detailed kitchen layouts and final deployment, we design the solution around your operation and your site.
Designed, Built & Maintained In-House
Temporary and modular commercial kitchens are our speciality.
Our kitchens are designed, developed, fitted out and maintained in-house by Mobile Kitchens, giving us greater control over the quality and reliability of the facilities we provide. It also allows us to continually improve our designs based on years of experience and feedback from kitchens operating in the field.
Our fleet includes commercial cooking kitchens, preparation kitchens, warewashing facilities, cool rooms, freezer rooms and specialised food service modules in a range of sizes and configurations.
Individual modules can operate independently or be connected to create larger, fully integrated temporary commercial kitchen facilities.

Quality, Compliance & Safety
Quality, compliance and safety are fundamental to the way Mobile Kitchens operates.
Mobile Kitchens maintains ISO 9001:2026 certification, holds a QBCC commercial builder licence, and is a member of Qld Master Builders Association.
Our modular commercial kitchens are designed for professional food service operations and to meet or exceed applicable FSANZ requirements. We use proven commercial catering equipment from leading manufacturers & suppliers, selected for reliability, performance and serviceability.
By designing, maintaining and managing our own fleet, we can maintain consistent standards across our kitchens throughout their working life.
Our Approach
Every project starts with understanding what the customer actually needs.
Before recommending a solution, we consider the type of food service operation, meal volumes, menu, staffing, workflow, cooking equipment, food preparation, refrigeration, storage, warewashing, available utilities, site access and the expected duration of the project.
We then configure the kitchen and associated modules around those requirements.
This approach means our customers aren’t simply hiring a standard modular building and adapting their operation around it. They receive a temporary commercial kitchen solution designed around the way their food service operation needs to work.
From the first conversation through to design, configuration, delivery, installation and ongoing support, you’re dealing with a team that specialises in temporary commercial kitchens.
