Thanks to Tony for cleaning the Kitchen with his Staff and the work detail also washed down the cabinets and the stainless steel in the kitchen, and they look great! We had the overhead hood cleaned, so we are ready for cooking again. We also replaced the old worn–out hood filters with new stainless-steel Filters.
We had the kitchen Ansul fire system updated and inspected all the fire extinguishers throughout the building, so we are good for another year.
