Equipment Away From the Kitchen

Prerequisites: Modules 4, 45.

The sequence

List what the site has.

List what you are bringing.

Test it before the day.

And bring a backup for anything critical.

The decisions

What can be produced on site and what has to arrive finished. The site's capacity is the constraint and it is usually smaller than anyone plans for.

And whether a single point exists. One holding cabinet, one power source, one vehicle — each is a resource with no alternate path, per Module 54, and an event has no recovery window.

What you are reading

The site's actual power, water, and space.

What goes wrong here

Equipment untested.

And a single point with no fallback.

Verification

Test everything the day before.

The boundary

Temporary and off-site food service carries permitting and equipment requirements governed by the local health authority.
