Sysco Hawai\u2018i president Jason Wong and Domino\u2019s Hawai\u2018i franchisee Mike Rompel (below) are two key sponsors of this year\u2019s showcase.<\/p><\/div>\n

Hawai\u2018i Hotel & Restaurant Show is back after a two-year absence, signaling that the islands\u2019 economic recovery is well on its way.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s often said that timing is everything in life. The same might also be said of good fortune.<\/p>\n

In the case of the organizers of Hawai\u2018i Hotel & Restaurant Show, they appear to have lucked into a little bit of both earlier this year when they committed to bringing back the foremost trade showcase in the Pacific. This they did despite not knowing whether they would once again experience a series of false starts and ultimately have to cancel the event just like they were forced to do in 2020 and 2021.<\/p>\n

But with Gov. David Ige\u2019s recent decision to end several COVID-related mandates, including Hawai\u2018i\u2019s Safe Travel program, the early commitment has paid off. Now, it is all systems go for the hospitality and restaurant industries\u2019 signature event.<\/p>\n

The much-anticipated showcase is set for 9 a.m.-5p.m. March 30 and 31 at Hawai\u2018i Convention Center.<\/p>\n

Domino\u2019s Hawai\u2018i franchisee Mike Rompel<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cThe timing couldn\u2019t have been better for us,\u201d says a clearly relieved Mufi Hannemann, president and CEO of Hawai\u2018i Lodging & Tourism Association (HLTA), when asked about the fortuitous timing of the governor lifting the indoor-masking directive less than a week before the show\u2019s kickoff.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe definitely picked good dates. Now you can come and you don\u2019t have to worry about, \u2018Do we have to mask? Are they going to ask for our vax card?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

This will be the first showcase since the event \u2014 a partnership between organizers HLTA, Hawai\u2018i Restaurant Association (HRA) and Honolulu Star-Advertiser<\/em> \u2014 was first held in May 2019. Naturally, Hannemann is delighted with the return of what he calls \u201cthe premier hospitality and restaurant trade show in the Pacific.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re super excited to be back,\u201d he says. \u201cWe feel that this will be a strong message to the rest of the United States and the world, if you will, that we\u2019re back in terms of having large, structured gatherings again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHawai\u2018i\u2019s restaurants and hospitality industry will emerge from the pandemic crisis stronger than ever,\u201d promises Tom Jones, past chairman of HRA, and president and co-owner of REI Food Service, LLC (dba Gyotaku Restaurants). \u201cWe look forward to the second Hawai\u2018i Hotel & Restaurant Show acting as a key indicator of Hawai\u2018i\u2019s resiliency.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adds Honolulu Star-Advertiser<\/em> president and publisher Dennis Francis, \u201cWe continue to assist HLTA and HRA with ongoing recovery efforts and the return of this important industry event.<\/p>\n

The show is an all-inclusive resource bringing the best of Hawai\u2018i and the Pacific Rim together. It can\u2019t be missed by those working in the relevant industries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Already, the event is expected to draw over 200 exhibitors from Hawai\u2018i, the mainland and Japan. It will also feature educational seminars by industry experts, live demonstrations, and the latest trends in information technology and quality operations, according to Jones.<\/p>\n

But just as important as being a show for professionals and students in the lodging, travel, hospitality and food service industries, the event provides an opportunity for participants to help strengthen the local community.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just an exhibit for us, but an opportunity to have some great auction items \u2026 to stay at resorts and take a trip to the mainland,\u201d he notes. \u201cBest of all, it all goes to (HLTA and HRA) scholarship funds.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, Hannemann is confident that this year\u2019s show will create a buzz of excitement that will reverberate throughout Hawai\u2018i and far beyond its shores.<\/p>\n

\u201cI anticipate it\u2019s going to be great\u2026 it will show that we did it well, we did it in a safe way and it will all be a part of our economic recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s event will also feature a number of key sponsors. Here\u2019s a brief look at these vital contributors.<\/p>\n

UHA HEALTH INSURANCE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Founded by a group of physicians in 1996, UHA Health Insurance has built its reputation on principles such as trust and reassurance. In doing so, the agency has gained the confidence of thousands who have come to admire it for its clear and straightforward approach to health insurance.<\/p>\n

As the company explains, \u201cHealth insurance can be complicated. We\u2019re here to make it simpler.\u201d<\/p>\n

UHA also recognizes the need to champion crucial industries in the islands, especially the tourism sector. It\u2019s why the company chose to be a part of this year\u2019s Hawai\u2018i Hotel & Restaurant Show as its breakfast sponsor.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver 30,000 jobs in the hotel industry alone were impacted by the pandemic,\u201d the company says in a prepared statement. \u201cWith tourism being the largest industry in Hawai\u2018i, we recognize the importance of supporting the Hawai\u2018i Hotel & Restaurant Show \u2026 The pandemic has been hard for businesses of all sizes and as a member of the Hawai\u2018i Restaurant Association and Hawai\u2018i Lodging & Tourism Association, supporting our restaurant and hospitality members and clients across the state is a priority.\u201d<\/p>\n

VEDGECO HAWAI\u2018I<\/strong><\/p>\n

The founder and CEO of VEDGEco Hawai\u2018i, Trevor Hitch, launched his company in 2019 after seeing \u201chow little freedom of food choice for plant-based options existed in the foodservice industry.\u201d Now, he operates the nation\u2019s first vegan food service distributor while supplying plant-based meats, seafood, dairy and eggs to scores of foodservice operators.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is exciting about plant-based options for operators is that there is so much potential revenue to add to their menus,\u201d explains the Chicago native who\u2019s called Kailua home for the past 12 years. \u201cTheir customers want these products and all the operators need to do is find which plant-based options are the right fit for their brand and their customers and keep it on the menu.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want operators to make solid margins with plant-based options while offering inclusive options to all their customers,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

As for this year\u2019s Hawai\u2018i Hotel & Restaurant Show, Hitch is grateful to be a part of it and will be introducing new product innovations.<\/p>\n

\u201cVEDGEco is incredibly excited to be one of the show sponsors,\u201d he says. \u201cAs a member of the Hawai\u2018i Restaurant Association, this premier trade show is our first opportunity to meet the greater foodservice Hawai\u2018i community and introduce our innovative, delicious brands in person.\u201d <\/p>\n

DOMINO\u2019S <\/strong><\/p>\n

Mike Rompel knows all about business adversity. When he assumed control of O\u2018ahu\u2019s six remaining Domino\u2019s pizzerias in 2006, the \u201crestaurants were losing $600,000 a year and really not hanging on.\u201d<\/p>\n

But he refused to give up because as cheesy as it may sound, life is always best when pizza is present. Thankfully, his commitment to the pie received some much-needed help from a banking institution.<\/p>\n

\u201cI often say that I was fixing and operating a bankrupt business, but Hawai\u2018i National Bank just didn\u2019t let me go bankrupt,\u201d recalls Rompel, who got his start in Las Vegas as a pizza maker and delivery driver.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the first few years of building a Domino\u2019s culture in Hawai\u2018i, we started to get our legs under us and really grinded for the next 10 years. By the time we peeked our heads above water, we were able to see the potential for prosperity in our future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today, he\u2019s the Hawai\u2018i franchisee for Domino\u2019s and looking forward to this year\u2019s showcase.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a renewed appreciation for trade shows and networking opportunities following the lockdown,\u201d Rompel says. \u201cThis trade show is simple: In Hawai\u2018i, you\u2019re either in tourism or you\u2019re in business because of tourism. There\u2019s hardly any business that can\u2019t afford not to attend.\u201d<\/p>\n

INDONESIA TRADE PROMOTION CENTER LA<\/strong><\/p>\n

New to this year\u2019s trade show is Indonesia Trade Promotion Center LA, a nonprofit that promotes an array of Indonesian products in the United States.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t let the organization\u2019s fresh face fool you \u2014 its savvy representatives are intent on carving out their niche in the Hawai\u2018i market.<\/p>\n

\u201cHawai\u2018i is one of the states that\u2019s still untapped by trade representatives, especially from Indonesia,\u201d observes administrative and accounting executive Sherina Msen. \u201cThrough this trade show, we hope to reengage the Hawai\u2018i market, resulting in more awareness of Indonesian products.\u201d<\/p>\n

For this year\u2019s show, the trade development agency plans to bring along two established furniture companies: Indo Puri, which sells modern artisan furniture and is based in Atlanta, Georgia; and Bali Aga, which sells high-end furniture from Bali and Indonesia, and is located right here in the islands.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hospitality industry has been among the hardest-hit sectors by the pandemic,\u201d says Msen. \u201cThis is a crucial time for the industry to restart stronger than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
