Azalina is getting ready to open the doors of her first brick-and-mortar restaurant, in Twitter's San Francisco headquarters, and her 15,000 square-foot commissary. But as she talks to designers and architects, she realizes she's going to have to make some changes to the kitchen set-up that will eat up valuable time and require a chunk of change to complete. Meanwhile, Azalina's husband Tim is trying to get Azalina to think of herself not as a small business owner, but as the proprietor of a burgeoning empire with global ambitions. In this episode of Setting Up Shop, we see Azalina's brick-and-mortar coming to fruition, and learn what the process means for this fifth-generation, Malaysian street vendor.
