Chances are, you already know about the fundamental differences between a typical restaurant and a food court: the former typically features one style of cuisine and sit down through the entire duration of your meal while the latter is made up of many different eateries in one central location. The food court at Maui Marketplace in Kahului, HI, features delectable options for dining on the go, allowing you to get the most out of your shopping trip.

Here are some of the ways a mall food court creates a different dining experience as opposed to eating in a restaurant:

• Range Of Choices: Restaurants tend to focus primarily on one type of food. For instance, many restaurants showcase a specific nationality, such as Chinese or Italian cuisine while others may highlight a certain type of food, as with steakhouses or seafood eateries. A food court, on the other hand, has many options. At Maui Marketplace, you can enjoy options from a coffeehouse, juicing bar, Chinese food restaurant, French bakery, American eateries, and more.

• How You Order: Restaurants may be a bit more relaxing because they allow you to sit back as a waiter takes and fulfills your order, but the court offers the advantages of speed and convenience. You won’t need to wait long for your food at the eateries when you’re in Maui Marketplace. Simply wait on a short line (if any), place your order, and an employee will fulfill your request immediately.  
• Leaving A Tip: Gratuity is always expected when you dine at sit-down restaurants, but that’s not the case when you place an order at the food court. Some restaurants may still have tip jars available, but this is optional, not expected.
