THE ORIGIN OF HCR• HCR is a joint venture between Peter Merriman and Bill Terry.• Bill Terry was born and raised on Maui and went on to earn his Bachelor’s and Master’s in Economics from the University of Oregon. By the time he was 31 years old, Bill was the Vice President of Hawaii’s largest dinner house restaurant group.• Peter Merriman is known as the founder of Hawaii Regional Cuisine. He started his farm to table concept in Waimea on the Big Island by placing an ad in the local paper telling farmers, “You grow it, we’ll buy it.” Peter is a 3 time James Beard fnalist and earned the nickname of the “Pied Piper” of HRC. Peter has 3 Merriman’s locations throughout the Hawaiian islands and is a partner at the Hula Grill Ka’anapali.• Over the course of Bill and Peter’s friendship, the concept for HCR was germinated and a dynamic partnership was formed between them: one who is a master cook, and the other who is a master businessman.
The Origin of HCR continued…
Both men love good food and good fun. They share a passion for locally grown food, responsible corporate citizenship, and generally doing the right thing.
When an opportunity to open a restaurant in Wailea arose, Bill and Peter set out on the venture now known as Monkeypod Kitchen by Merriman
Their goal was to create an island themed restaurant which is socially and environmentally conscious serving high quality, afordable, Chef driven food in a fun, pub-like, environment.
Now, there are 2 Monkeypod Kitchen locations: Wailea, Maui opened in February 2011 and Ko Olina, Oahu opened in January 2013.
In May 2016, we took over as the owners and operators of The Beach House in Koloa, Kauai.
Moku Kitchen in Kakaako is our newest concept opened in October 2016.
In October 2017, HCR opened our 3rd Monkeypod location in Ka’anapali, Maui.
MISSION STATEMENT
“MASTER THE CRAFT OF FOOD,
DRINK AND MERRYMAKING WITH ALOHA”
VISION STATEMENT
“BE RECOGNIZED AS THE LEADING
HANDCRAFTED RESTAURANT
COMPANY IN THE WORLD”
What Does This Mean Philosophically?
Craft and Handcraftedo Something made with love, from the hearto I think of an old school guy covered with
dust, making something exceptionalo The perfect balance between heart and
mindo Something made from scratch, high qualityoMade from inspirationoWell thought out processoNot manufacturedoDedication and passion
HOW CAN YOU HELP US ACHIEVE OUR VISION STATEMENT?
• By being a craftspersono “If it's fipping hamburgers at McDonald's, be the best hamburger fipper in
the world. Whatever it is you do you have to master your craft.” - Snoop Dogg
• By having the desire to be the BEST • By adhering to craft ethics: oContinuously strive to improve your craft.oEvery day we work is an opportunity to improve the skills
needed to master our craft. oGoing through the motions just to receive a check or a tip
would never satisfy a craftsman. Satisfaction instead comes from successfully and continuously improving.
oThe application of craft ethics is required of every team member at the HCR.
COMPANY VALUESWe Live and Breathe Our Brand ConstitutionoManaging our brand is not a segmented part of
our business, and it is never an afterthought. Our brand is at the core of everything we do.
oOur brand constitution provides accountability.o It should guide every decision we make: what
kind of food to feature on our menu, who we hire to be a part of our team, how we manage our facilities, and even how we perform our accounting.
COMPANY VALUES, CONTINUED
High Quality, Socially Conscious Ingredients
Our ingredients aren’t just part of a recipe. They are chosen in such a way as to reduce our impact
on the environment, support our local communities, and positively impact all that we
touch.

see the big picture and are here for the long term.
COMPANY VALUES, CONTINUED
Exceed Expectations We take pride in being craftspeople of service. Going
above and beyond is a special part of every day.
Continuously Practice and Improve Our Craft
Mastering the craft of food, drink, and merrymaking is a continuous process that comes
through practice. Look to the routine and ordinary things that you do in your work every
day to fnd opportunities for improvement. There is always room to become a better craftsman.
COMPANY VALUES, CONTINUED
