Known originally as Luciano’s Catering under previous ownership, Twin Engine Catering has locations in Kahului and Kona on the island of Maui, Hawaii. The company prides itself on the personal bonds it has established with its customers, who sometimes request its catering services for dinners and special events.

In the coming months, Twin Engine Catering plans to add a QR code to its menu format to differentiate between the Maui and Kona locations. This will better enable the chefs at each location to feature their own specialties, as well as locally available products.
