Guest count changed after you booked catering? It happens at nearly every celebration.
A cousin brings a plus one. Someone adds a dish. A relative offers to cover the lechon.
Our San Diego Hawaiian catering builds your proposal around your venue and guests, then adjusts it with you up to 7 to 10 days before your event. We can even invoice family members separately for the items they cover.
Plans change. Our process leaves room for it.

Now we have been on live TV.

People think restaurant owners are competitors who should keep secrets. The truth is, we’re collaborators.
Restaurants are hard. Nobody gets through it alone. When someone is willing to ask, and someone else is willing to answer, everybody’s food gets better and the whole local scene gets stronger. It takes a village to run a business, and we’re lucky to have a good one.
Own a restaurant or work in the industry? Tag the person who would pick up the phone if you needed help.
