The Ahwahnee Hotel

CASE STUDY

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.

The Salvation Army's 29-Year-Old Mobile Kitchen Continues to Serve as a Lifeline to Those in Need

The Salvation Army has been providing aid and support to people in need for over 150 years. In their efforts to help those who are struggling, they have utilized a wide range of tools and resources. One of these resources is a mobile kitchen unit that has been in use for over 29 years.

The mobile kitchen was originally manufactured in 1994 in Fresno, CA by Carlin Manufacturing, a legacy brand of Kitchens To Go by Mobile Modular and has been serving The Salvation Army ever since. The mobile kitchen is a self-contained unit and can be driven to various locations allowing the organization to provide food to people in need no matter where they are.

Over the years, the mobile kitchen has been used in a variety of situations. It has been deployed to areas affected by natural disasters, such as hurricanes, floods, fires, and earthquakes, where it has provided hot meals to people who have been displaced from their homes and businesses. It has also been used to provide meals to the homeless in urban areas, as well as to those who are living in poverty in rural communities.

Despite its age, the mobile kitchen is still in use today. It has been well-maintained and regularly serviced to ensure that it remains in good working order. The Salvation Army continues to rely on the unit to provide food and support to people in need, and they have no plans to retire it anytime soon.

The longevity of the mobile kitchen is a testament to its durability and effectiveness. It is a reminder that sometimes the simplest solutions are the best, and that a well-maintained piece of equipment can continue to provide value and support for many years.

In conclusion, The Salvation Army’s 29-year-old mobile kitchen is a symbol of the organization’s commitment to helping those in need. It has been an invaluable resource in providing food and support to people in a wide range of situations, and its continued use is a testament to its durability and effectiveness.
