We are taking extraordinary precautions to ensure we can continue to safely serve our guests and to ensure the well-being of our employees.

Expansion of off-premise and takeout options: Guests can order Max’s food for Curbside Pickup on our website MaxsTiki.com, or order delivery via DoorDash.

Social distancing: We have implemented a social distancing policy within our four walls and are adhering to all governmental regulations regarding occupancy or entry.

Requiring Masks: All guests are asked to wear a mask while inside the building. To ensure the safety of our employees and guests, masks are required at all times, except while seated and eating or drinking. If any customer does not want to wear a mask for any reason, we will happily serve them via Curbside Pickup.

Hand Sanitizer Stands: We have deployed hand sanitizer stands throughout the building.

Enhanced cleaning & sanitization procedures: We follow enhanced protocols for cleaning and sanitizing our restaurant, including cleaning more frequently and adding additional cleanings in high-touchpoint locations.

Employee Safety and Use of Masks: In accordance with CDC and local health department guidelines, all employees must wear a mask at all times while inside the building. We have provided all of our employees with masks. We will continue to evolve our approach based on guidance from health experts.

Employee Wellness Checks: We assess employee wellness at the start of every shift. We’ve added temperature checks at the start of each shift as soon as an employee arrives.
