Takase: It's separated by the parking lot. Lai: Right. Mukai: And then this is only for information, is that separate building going to have a separate bar and separate entertainment, like a musician and all that? What's the plan for the building? Lai: It's additional dining. We have a lot requests for private parties and on the special holidays we turn away so many people. So, my thought to just to use it for those special events or as an additional seating. It would still be known as Kaleo's it wouldn't be known as a different entity. If we could, yes, we might have musician there and a portable bar. The Department of Health has already okay'ed that location. I haven't really decided what I'm going to do with it. Mukai: Okay, thank you. Nahale-a: I have a question. Approximately how far away from the original, the restaurant now do you know? Lai: I'd say more than a 100 feet. Nahalea-a: That's pretty close. Surrounding neighbors to the new building that you'd like to add? Are there business around? Lai: We're right on Pahoa Village Road, so Luquins is across, it's mostly commercial. Nahale-a: Okay thank you. Taniguchi: I have a question. The food is prepared on this side and you're going to walk it across the parking lot? Lai: Uh huh. Yep, additional dining or if we do a private party. Taniguchi: Is this additional dining? Lai: I haven't worked that part out yet. But, mostly I'm thinking that it will be some appetizers while they're waiting for their table. Cause we don't really have an overhang and people get wet. We don't have anywhere for people to wait for a table. Taniguchi: Okay, thank you. Nahale-a: Ocean Sushi did something like that. They had two properties across the road of each other. They would cook on one, and then walk the food across the street to the other side. Mukai: Ocean Sushi has done that. Nahale-a: That's what I'm saying. Mukai: Dodge the traffic.
