Maria Hollandsworth: So it’s really more across the board. We see them whether in like businesses or box, like Home Depots or Auto Parks. However, we do have a great example where we had one franchisee get an order for 17,500 people. And she realized that would be a challenge to reach out to 2 other franchise organizations. And in the end, those orders were fulfilled by 35 restaurants. And the power of catering, the power of building relationships with our clients, that’s what it is. That’s what it’s all about. And because they know we can deliver, these clients come back and keep ordering from us. And that’s our goal, is to continue to build those relationships. That’s the kind of traction we’re seeing out that. We’re very encouraged.

Operator: Ladies and gentlemen, we have reached the end of today’s question-and-answer session. I would now like to turn the call back over to management for closing remarks.

Maria Hollandsworth: Thank you, everyone, for joining us today. We appreciate you making time. I also want to thank the entire El Pollo Loco family for their continued support and focus on our strategy. Have a great rest of the day.

Operator: Thanks for your participation. You may disconnect your lines at this time.
