Preserving Operations During Major Renovations with Mobile Solutions

V. Sattui Winery, a beloved Napa Valley landmark, has enchanted visitors with its handcrafted wines, Italianate architecture, and picturesque picnic grounds since 1885. Producing over 60 wines exclusively sold on-site and online, the winery draws approximately 300,000 visitors each year. However, its marketplace, deli, and tasting room—originally constructed in the early 1970s—were in need of a significant renovation to elevate the visitor experience and expand the facility by 2,500 square feet. This update aligned with the winery’s 50th anniversary in 2025, marking an ideal time for a major refresh. Yet, closing the winery for construction posed substantial risks to guest satisfaction, staff retention, and revenue. Continuous operation was crucial.

To keep operations running smoothly, V. Sattui Winery collaborated with Kitchens To Go (KTG) and our sister company, Mobile Modular, to provide a temporary kitchen and modular setup that would support the winery’s needs through the year-long renovation. The primary solution was a state-of-the-art mobile kitchen that allowed V. Sattui to continue offering fresh, on-site culinary experiences during the renovation. Additionally, a 36′ x 60′ modular building served as a temporary marketplace and tasting room, complete with ADA-compliant ramps and pathways, ample space for tastings, and food and wine sales.  Located in shaded picnic areas, the temporary structures blended seamlessly into the landscape and maintained the rustic charm that visitors expect from V. Sattui.

Navigating the installation required extensive coordination with Napa County to meet local zoning and environmental standards. Every detail—from temporary utility connections for water, sewer, and electricity to the modular structures’ aesthetic integration—had to comply with regulatory requirements. The permitting process led to some delays, yet the V. Sattui team and our partners worked diligently to adjust timelines and modify the structures as needed to comply with county standards. These adaptive measures ensured that the modular facilities not only met operational needs but also provided a high-quality experience for guests.

With the high volume of visitors, the modular units and mobile kitchen had to be fully functional and immediately operational. Thoughtfully designed interiors, including original bars and displays, recreated the warm, inviting atmosphere of the winery’s tasting room. Initially, staff and guests were uncertain about the transition to modular spaces, concerned that the historic charm might be lost. However, the transformed interiors quickly put these concerns to rest. The layout facilitated smooth traffic flow, allowing guests to enjoy the same exceptional experience throughout the renovation.

The mobile kitchen played a pivotal role in ensuring V. Sattui could maintain its high standards in food service. This setup enabled on-site preparation of fresh foods, allowing the winery to deliver the diverse culinary offerings that are essential to the V. Sattui experience. The modular marketplace provided ample space for wine tastings and merchandise, enabling the winery to serve hundreds of thousands of visitors and keep operations nearly unchanged.

Thanks to their expertise, we were able to continue offering the V. Sattui experience, even during significant construction."
Tom Davies
President of V. Sattui Winery

By May 2024, the modular units were fully operational, enabling V. Sattui to preserve staff employment, accommodate visitor demand, and sustain business continuity. As the winery approaches its planned reopening in Spring 2025, the temporary modular setup has proven invaluable, preserving the guest experience and the winery’s reputation through this significant transition. V. Sattui’s project underscores the value of flexible modular solutions for high-traffic businesses, allowing them to maintain operations smoothly through major renovations. This successful project demonstrates how adaptable, quality-driven temporary setups can meet complex regulatory requirements and provide guests with exceptional experiences during times of change.

Seamless Temporary Kitchen Solution for Area 52

Camp Pendelton, located in Oceanside, CA, is one of the largest Marine Corps bases in the United States, playing a critical role in supporting military operations and training. When the Area 52 mess hall required renovations, it was essential to ensure that dining services continued without interruption for the troops stationed there. Whiting Turner was selected to renovate the dining hall and was tasked with procuring a temporary dining facility to ensure uninterrupted meal service for the Marines during construction. Kitchens To Go was selected to design and deliver a comprehensive temporary kitchen solution that would meet the demanding needs of the base.

To support the preparation of 3,000 meals daily across breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Kitchens To Go supplied six 12×56-foot modular kitchen units. These units included designated areas for cooking, washing, food preparation, administrative offices, and storage. Additionally, the facility featured oversized, single-piece walk-in refrigeration and freezer units, ensuring that the base’s high-volume food storage needs were met.

A critical feature of the temporary kitchen solution was the implementation of a tempered makeup air system, designed to circulate fresh, conditioned air within the workspace. The kitchen was fully designed and engineered to meet the stringent requirements of the state of California’s Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), ensuring compliance with all applicable regulations.

Kitchens To Go was chosen for their proven track record of supporting military projects, previous experience working at Camp Pendelton, and their willingness to engage with Whiting Turner early in the bidding process. The team’s ability to present a clear proposal and competitive pricing gave Whiting Turner confidence in Kitchens To Go’s ability to handle the project. Their commitment to supporting the project even before the contract was awarded demonstrated their proactive approach.

The project posed several challenges, including the need to keep the temporary kitchen under 5,000 square feet. Additionally, the site had a significant slope, which required Kitchens To Go to develop a foundation system that compensated for the uneven terrain across the complex’s length. Despite these obstacles, the installation was completed smoothly, allowing for seamless continuity in dining operations at the base.

The temporary kitchen facility, leased for 26 months starting on May 1st, 2024, has provided sufficient time for the renovation of the permanent mess hall. By utilizing this solution, Camp Pendelton was able to maintain full operational capacity during the construction process, avoiding any disruptions to meal service. This approach not only saved time but also reduced overall project costs by minimizing downtime and logistical complications.

Kitchens To Go’s ability to deliver a customized, fully compliant solution within the project’s unique constraints ensured that the Marines stationed at Area 52 were able to continue their operations with no interruptions in their daily routine. The temporary facility allowed for a smooth transition during the renovation of the permanent dining hall, reflecting the importance of flexibility, innovation, and reliability in military dining solutions.

Temporary Kitchens Ensure Uninterrupted Care:

Confronted with a serious safety issue in their facility, Western Mental Health Institute (WMHI) in Bolivar, TN, urgently needed a rapid solution to maintain foodservice operations while tackling the building’s safety challenges. Partnering with Kitchens To Go (KTG), WMHI quickly transitioned its team to a fully equipped, 53-foot mobile commercial kitchen in June 2022, ensuring continuous meal service for their 150 patients without interruption.

This provisional setup served as a bridge until September 2023, when a modular commercial kitchen solution from KTG was installed that included comprehensive cook, prep, and dishwashing modules plus storage units and seamlessly integrated into WMHI operations. The modular kitchen will support the facility for the next few years while WHMI manages the design, funding, and commissioning of a new facility.

This strategic collaboration not only addressed the critical infrastructure challenge but also led to significant cost savings and operational efficiencies. By avoiding the need for external meal services, WHMI continued to provide high-quality care and support to its patients. The project exemplified adaptability and innovative problem-solving in healthcare, highlighting how rapid response and effective planning can lead to successful long-term solutions in critical service areas.

The Ahwahnee Hotel

When The Ahwahnee Hotel needed support for its operation during a renovation, Kitchens To Go provided a temporary commercial kitchen complex to maintain foodservice continuity.

Client

The Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park, Mariposa County, CA

The Need

A commercial kitchen to support The Ahwahnee Dining Room, famous for its sumptuous Sunday Brunch, during renovation of the hotel’s existing kitchen and seismic safety upgrades to the facility. The much-needed work will ensure The Ahwahnee is safe for present and future generations of Yosemite visitors.

The Solution

Due to the high elevation, challenging terrain, and site restrictions, a containerized commercial kitchen complex was the best solution. The complex includes areas for food preparation, cooking, dishwashing, dry storage, walk-in coolers and freezers.

A One-of-a-Kind Project:

The Ahwahnee Hotel built in 1927 is special. The granite-façade crown jewel of Yosemite Park nestles in the heart of Yosemite Valley with Half Dome and Glacier Point serving as awe-inspiring, dramatic backdrops. Icons of our time, and past generations, have rested their heads at this National Historic Landmark, including the United States Navy who took over the building and used it as a convalescent hospital for those wounded during World War II. And, it was the inspiration for the interior sets of Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining.

When asked to provide support during renovations at this prominent location, Kitchens To Go was proud to accept, and deliver! A temporary containerized commercial kitchen complex was installed and will remain in use for 13 months. Containers are durable and safe and designed to operate comfortably, and efficiently, in extreme conditions. A containerized kitchen complex offers a high-capacity work environment with the functionality and flexibility needed to support a foodservice operation. It’s a perfect choice during a large-scale renovation in a hard-to-reach location.

project description

Extensive planning and permitting was required to place this six-module complex into an interior courtyard of the historic Eccles Building in the center of Washington, D.C.. A 550 ton crane was used to lift the modules over the building and then place them within eleven feet from the building and the courtyard fountain.

The lift took place between a Saturday and Sunday to minimize disruption to traffic and employees. The finishing kitchen, with integrated dock door and cold storage, allowed for ease of deliveries from both the commissary and suppliers. Due to the expected length of the project, 3+ years, the General Contractor opted to purchase the entire complex.

quick facts
  • Food was prepped in the commissary and delivered to the interim kitchen to be finished on site.
  • A 30’ storefront window wall overlooking the courtyard provided light and ambiance.
  • The servery and dining space were designed to seat 60 guests.

GSU determined that by replacing both facilities at the same time, rather than phasing the project, the construction term was reduced by nearly eighteen months, thus reducing both costs and construction fatigue on campus.

project description

The John E Polk Correctional Facility needed to renovate their kitchen, which was located in the basement. Because of security restrictions, phasing the work was not an option. Kitchen To Go’s temporary kitchen complex included cook, wash, and prep modules along with a cooler, freezer, dry storage, and a bathroom. The design of the kitchen complex allowed it to be placed in unique area that, when completed, the interim facility was completely enclosed and secured.

project description

Kitchens To Go brought in a kitchen complex consisting of Cook, Wash and Prep modules for the kitchen area. The designed layout with open space among the modules allowed for visual communication and supervision. In addition, the complex contained a walk-in freezer, walk-in cooler, storage, loading dock, and an in-house laundry facility.

quick facts
