Big Sky Mobile Catering has four mobile kitchen units. Each unit is fully mobile and capable of routinely feeding up to 1500 persons per meal at 400 persons per hour. Under emergency situations for short durations we can feed up to 2000 per meal. Our normal mode of operation is to feed two hot meals, breakfast and dinner, and a sack lunch. Each of the three unit's configuration is basically the same, however there are some slight differences internally. Each kitchen unit consists of a Kitchen/Cooking trailer, a Food Preparation and Refrigerated storage trailer, Sack Lunch/Dry Goods storage trailer and an eight sink hand washing trailer. Each kitchen unit has a minimum of 515 cubic feet of freezer storage, 1200 cubic feet of chilled food storage, 200 gallons of potable water storage, 500 gallons of gray water storage and 300 gallons of propane storage. Each unit also has a covered, lighted, dining area for 200 personnel. Each kitchen unit has a diesel power generator capable of at least 48 kwh.
