Founded in 1947, Highway Inn has been family-owned and -operated for more than 70 years, offering Hawaiian and “local” American comfort food. With three locations (Kaka‘ako, Waipahu and Bishop Museum), the restaurant needed new photographs for their menus, and with the impact of COVID-19 on the industry, also required photographs of their takeout meal sets and packaged prepared foods for their new online ordering website.
