Ralphs and Kitchen United have opened their first kitchen center, in the Westwood neighborhood 
of Los Angeles. Shoppers can build freshly prepared, on-demand restaurant meals from participating restaurants, including bushi by JINYA, Dog Haus, Fresh Brothers, Jailbird, Bad Ass Breakfast Burritos and, um, Bad Mutha Clucka. (Hey, it’s Los Angeles.)
The location is the first of the closely-watched Kroger-Kitchen United collaboration; more locations are set to open this month in Texas. The kitchen center will enable customers to place an order digitally via web, mobile or an in-person ordering kiosk. They can then pick up their meal onsite or have it delivered. Restaurant staff will prepare the orders and delivery service fees will be determined by third-party providers.
