Ideally, you need two CSSs for this -  a gateway CSS and a device CSS. Assign the kitchen extension a new partition. Add this new partition to the device CSS but not to the gateway CSS. This way incoming calls are blocked.

For outbound calls, you will need another partition and CSS. The partition should contain the pattern 9.! (or whatever your outside access code is) and should block it. It can be translation or route pattern depending on your CUCM's dial plan design. This pattern will be assigned to a new CSS called Block_All (or something) and this should be assigned on the line level.
