Fitting the Pieces Together

Kitchen equipment is pouring in and we are fitting everything together. Rick went for a very tight and clean look for the kitchen. It is not the easiest thing to achieve, but the result should be a good one. A couple small mistakes are holding things up, the stainless steal dish table was built wrong, and we are waiting on a couple of custom pieces to come from the shop.

The electricians are putting in all the light fixtures, trimming out the brand new engineered LED lights. Everyone is working on top of one another - painters, tilers, carpenters and all as we sprint to the finish.

Monday we are finally connecting the Frontera kitchen to XOCO. It won't be functional until we open, but will really start to change the way our staff interacts with the space.
