Training

We train our meticulously selected team using a Sequence of Service program designed by us for catering in Hawai'i. The program emphasizes the art of hospitality and the belief that planning and preparation lead to success, which underpins all we do. From packing to loading and execution to breakdown, every detail revolves around the guest experience.

Hospitality

Hospitality is the cornerstone of the Memoirs experience. We believe the best food is born of the best ingredients, and the same can be said of service. We treat our team like family, nurture a culture of caring and hire based on attitude not aptitude because hospitality is lived not taught. Our actions are born of the heart, and we strive to reflect this in our service.

Front of House

We are the first to respond, the best at delivery and the last to leave expectations short. Our mission statement is: Every action and every word is done or spoken as if every guest could see it, taste it or hear it. We are the best because we want the best for our customers and for ourselves. Our team is our biggest asset and greatest joy. More than a staff, they're like family.

Every event is an audition. It may be the 6th event you have worked this week, but for the guest, it may be the only event like this they will ever have

"We have used Memoirs many times and they have always exceeded our expectations. Always amazing food, fantastic service and they do it all with a smile! We would recommend them to anyone at any time."

"Memoirs' equipment, commercial kitchen and staff are all superior quality, so they were well-equipped to handle (the event). And staff is well-experienced, so all was flawlessly executed."

"Memoirs worked with my budget and came out with the best menu ever! From doing the tasting to putting together the entire event, everything was done professionally and beautifully."

"(Memoirs catered) a "Topping Off" party at a large construction project in Kaka'ako with around 750 hungry construction workers. The party was amazing, the food was excellent and everyone had a great time. Memoirs saved the day."
