Food Service Rental FAQs

Common Questions About Food Service Rentals

From keeping beverages cold to setting up a buffet, the right equipment depends on what you are serving, your guest count, and how you want guests to move through the food and beverage area.

What food service equipment can I rent from JMS?

JMS offers a growing selection of food and beverage service equipment for events, including insulated coolers, galvanized beverage tubs, beverage dispensers, chafing dishes, and related serving equipment. Review the individual product pages for current sizes, configurations, and availability.

Should I use a cooler, beverage tub, or beverage dispenser?

It depends on what you are serving. Insulated coolers work well when drinks or ice need to stay cold for an extended period, while open beverage tubs make bottled and canned drinks easy for guests to see and access. Beverage dispensers are designed for self-service drinks such as water, tea, lemonade, or other non-carbonated beverages.

What size beverage tub should I choose?

Consider how many beverages you plan to chill, the amount of ice you will need, and whether you want one central beverage station or several smaller stations. JMS offers different tub sizes, including 15-gallon galvanized tubs and larger 40-gallon galvanized tubs, so you can choose based on the scale and layout of your event.

What are chafing dishes used for?

Chafing dishes are designed to help keep prepared food warm during buffet-style service. Full-pan and divided-pan options can help accommodate different menu items, and chafing fuel is used beneath the chafer to maintain serving temperature. Chafers are intended for holding prepared food rather than cooking it.

How many beverage dispensers or chafing dishes will I need?

The right quantity depends on your guest count, menu, beverage selection, and serving arrangement. Consider how many separate drinks or hot dishes you plan to offer and whether guests will be served from one station or multiple locations. Beverage dispensers are available in different capacities, including 2.5-gallon and 5-gallon options.

What other rentals should I plan for my food and beverage area?

Depending on your event, you may also need tables and chairs, linens, party tents, lighting, or cooling equipment. Planning these pieces together helps provide enough room for serving, dining, and comfortable guest flow.
