Expansion Partnerships Kona Grill is actively expanding with new locations across multiple markets, signaling continued growth and the need for scalable supplier and partner programs. Sales opportunities include national procurement partnerships, equipment and beverage suppliers, and turnkey marketing support for openings.

Marketing Tech Advantage The brand's investment in programmatic advertising and digital tracking indicates openness to data-driven marketing services, CRM or loyalty platform integrations, and attribution solutions to optimize spend across a growing footprint.

Food Service Collaboration The launch of a national food service program with STK shows appetite for co-branded sourcing and distributor partnerships. There is potential to extend this by adding private label ingredients, menu-item sourcing, and multi-site supply arrangements.

Operational Technology Kona Grill employs a modern digital stack for advertising, analytics, and maps, suggesting fit for kitchen and store-level tech enhancements such as POS integrations, inventory and vendor management, and real-time analytics to support expansion.

Sustainability & Sourcing Quality-focused sourcing, including fresh daily fish, presents an opportunity to discuss sustainable seafood credentials, supplier certifications, and ESG-related programs that bolster brand credibility as the footprint grows.
