Hey Jay,
In my vet clinic, I use the Niles box and volume control, as you describe, for background music in the reception area and for a little company during surgery. (It would help if the phone wrang in the kitchen during the heat of battle, no?) That would work if you decided to go with the present system you already have and pipe it into the kitchen.
If you went with long interconnects, it seems to me, (and I freely admit I am not a cable freak,) I might look for something from the catalogues of the DJ type suppliers. They alway have to make long runs, (as do recording engineers in many cases.) You could check a supplier like American Musical Supply:

Good luck,
Charlie
