Aloha KBAT FANS,

This is an update to my last post. You know the one about our state being effectively “shut down” through June. Yes that one…well obviously that would mean more changes. We set up our new staffing and operational model based on folks being able to visit our Big Island beginning June. In another disturbing development to our economy, the State’s Largest employer and Tourism Lifeline, Hawaiian Airlines has effectively discontinued operations. https://www.civilbeat.org/2020/03/hawaiian-airlines-faces-an-uncertain-future-amid-the-coronavirus-crisis/

Now that we can be certain that tourism, travel or economic improvement isn’t happening…here are the changes you can expect:

1) New hours begin Monday May 25th check the operational hours tab above

2) Menu Prices are further reduced in the Surf Burger Concept (it requires less labor and to avoid additional bank charges we are accepting cash or Venmo only in that operation)

3) Kohala Burger will be closed Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday.

4) We ask that you please take advantage of our new weekly marketing schedule at KBAT please scroll the home page to see what you don’t want to miss.

5) Reminders: We do not accept telephone orders for Surf Burger “Drop in…and Bail Out” most items can be ready in 4-6 minutes. When ordering from the cashier KBAT or Surf Burger you must wear a mask, shoes and shirts.

6) We will continue to run the Friday Rib Promotion as long as they continue to be available to us.

The best info we hear on the street, some resorts have begun making guest reservations available July 5th. So economically we can cross our fingers for that.

Mahalo for your support.

Chef Cary
