Can I prepay O'Hana's dinner?

[newholidayx2]

Will be at O'Hana's for brkfst the day before I return w/friends for dinner. Can I prepay for the dinner the morn Im there for brkfst? Id like the bill to be paid for so they dont argue w/me that they want to pay! I know the night we eat there we'll be paying tip and any alcoholic drinks

Not sure if you can "prepay" before the night of the dinner. When you are there for breakfast, you could ask if they have some type of prepaid gift card???

Or, maybe after you are seated, you could excuse yourself to go to the restroom, give the waitress your credit card/cash/disney dollars and tell her you want to go ahead and pay for the price of the dinner for the guests at your table. Since it is a set price for the meal, they may be able to run the cost of the meal through and then give you a supplemental bill at the end for your drinks, etc.

Good Luck!

What would worry me would be if something went wrong with either your guest not making it or something closing the kitchen that night. It would make for a big hassle to get money refunded.

Back in Jan. our ADR's for Scifi were canceld due to a sewer line backing up into the rest. ( at least that is what we were told)

I don't think that would be possible to do. You would need to catch your server during the meal when the others won't see you and give them your credit card.

What Mommy Poppins said is your best bet. While I have not done this at O'hana's, I have done it at other restaurants. From your posting I am not sure if you are willing to pick up the entire tab or just for the food. If it is the entire tab then just keep an eye on the server and when they look like they are heading to the kitchen just follow them. A good time to do this is after you are done with your entree and are contemplating what to have for dessert, you can excuse yourself from the table claiming to need to use the facilities and find the server.

I have done this many times, but I usually do it right after we order food, I get up follow my server and let him or her know what I need.
