Yeah, I don't know how much the pandemic has played a role as much as higher min. wage in areas. Back in my other home (Portland, OR) a lot of places have gone to having guests order at the counter rather than having servers come to tables. Maui Brewing is setup that way. If it's done right it can be okay but waiting in line for 10+ minutes every time you want something gets old in a hurry (unfortunately, that was the case at Maui Brewing last time I was there).
