The dual-lane eatery exclusively accepts drive-thru customers. It will soon offer third-party deliveries as well as three walk-up windows to customers.

Chick-fil-A is the latest fast-food company to concentrate on delivery, drive-thru, and takeout orders rather than dining rooms. The first drive-thru-focused Chick-fil-A on O'ahu did this earlier.

The chicken franchise has opened over 30 drive-thru-only sites as well as a Nashville delivery and catering facility.

No diners means the following destination will be automated. At the new Hawaii restaurant, 150 full- and part-time employees will serve customers at three walk-up windows (no AI yet).

At drive-thrus, workers will use tablets to accept orders. One drive-thru employee will take orders, while another will take money. According to Chick-fil-A, this will make ordering faster than a speaker box drive-thru.

Hawaii is really hot. Fortunately, Chick-fil-A, Inc. collaborated with gear vendors to develop vests and moisture-wicking uniforms to keep employees comfortable.

To commemorate its grand opening, the new shop will donate $25,000 to Feeding America member Hawai'i Foodbank. Those funds will be used to assist Makiki community partners in their fight against hunger.
