Project Spotlight: Electrical Installation for Chipotle

When it comes to delivering precise, code-compliant, and aesthetically sharp electrical work for fast-paced commercial projects, Bookman Electrical Services is always ready to rise to the challenge. One of our latest accomplishments is a comprehensive electrical installation at a newly constructed Chipotle restaurant.

From foundation to final inspection, our team handled the full spectrum of electrical needs, ensuring that the location is not only operationally ready but also built to support a modern quick-service restaurant environment.


🔧 Project Overview

The Chipotle build-out required a high-performance electrical infrastructure designed to meet the rigorous demands of a quick-service kitchen and customer-facing environment. Key responsibilities for Bookman included:

  • Complete wiring for kitchen equipment and HVAC

  • Structured outlet installation throughout the kitchen and prep zones

  • Ceiling and wall lighting installation, including recessed fixtures

  • Equipment circuiting for exhaust fans, fryers, refrigeration, and grills

  • Power supply for digital menu boards and POS stations

Our experienced crew coordinated with general contractors and other trades to ensure a smooth integration into the construction schedule. Clean installation, alignment with Chipotle corporate standards, and safety compliance were the top priorities.


🔍 Key Project Highlights

Here’s what made this job stand out:

1. Dense Utility Wall Wiring

We installed multiple banks of GFCI-protected outlets with precise spacing to accommodate appliances, under-counter equipment, and workstations. Special attention was paid to alignment, load balancing, and future access needs.

2. HVAC and Hood Vent Integration

We worked closely with the mechanical team to provide power to the CaptiveAire ventilation system and rooftop units, ensuring smooth airflow management and kitchen exhaust functions.

3. Custom Ceiling Work

Bookman electricians executed recessed lighting in acoustic and sheetrock ceiling sections, balancing task lighting for workspaces and soft ambient light for the dining area. Our crew also powered ceiling-mounted devices including speakers and fire alarms.

4. Clean Paneling and Device Placement

Despite the volume of outlets and data ports required, every device was installed with uniformity and precision. This clean finish contributes to Chipotle’s brand of modern, minimalist interiors.
