Welcome to White Island Cafe

These strange times have made us appreciate our community more than ever, so we want to extend a BIG thank you for your continued support.

White Island Cafe in-dining instructions
- Please use only the front door for entry.
- We are required to carry out contact tracing. We have two ways of doing this
- The first is a system called 'Checkin-19' and you use your phone to either scan a QR code or enter a code on the Checkin-19 website, details are on the door as you enter. You do not need to download an app, it is a NZ created system that securely holds your data should the government need to contact you. It does not use your GPS or Bluetooth.
- If you don't have a mobile device then there is also a good old-fashioned sign in sheet.
- You may order and pay at the counter. It is important that if you need to queue you maintain a 1m separation from the person in front. We have put tape on the floor to mark the spacing. We are following the latest guidelines from the NZ Restaurant Association.
- Contactless payment is available and preferred however other payment options such as cash will still be accepted.
- Our preference is for one person per table to order to reduce the numbers coming to the counter but understand that this may not be possible.
- Once ordered we need everyone to be seated. We have spaced tables so that at least 1 metre is maintained between each table grouping.
- As usual your food and drink will be delivered to your table. We will be making our best efforts to keep one staff member as your server for your visit.
- We know you love us but you can only stay for a maximum of 2 hours under Level 2 guidelines.
- We can't accommodate large groups at this time sorry.
- When the time comes for you to leave. Please exit from the side door at the bottom of the ramp. Please also "check-out" of the contact tracing app. Instructions are on the door at the exit.
Instructions for Ordering Online
- Click on the 'See MENU & Order' button, browse our online menu, make your selection, and place your order.
Payment must be made at the time of booking. Due to Alert Level 3 social distancing guidelines, we are unable to offer payment at the pickup point. - Once an order has been received via the online booking system, you will receive a confirmation and an estimated time for collection. Orders will be ready for collection from White Island Cafe, 15 The Strand, Whakatāne
- To adhere to the Alert Level 3 social distancing provisions, once you arrive at our location, we kindly ask that you please park out on the street and wait in your car.
- Once your order is ready, we will call you on the phone number you provided with your order and you may leave your car, walk to the pickup point and collect your order.
- The pickup point is located at a window which opens onto the driveway for White Island Rendezvous motel. This will be closed to vehicles while the café is operating.
Important notes:
- If you have any problems with the ordering process please call us on 308 9549 and we will help walk you through it.
- We are attempting to minimise any near contact with others, however, if you do encounter another customer in the collection area please maintain a 2 metre separation at all times.
- We have a COVID-19 Safety policy in place. The health and safety of our staff and customers is our number one priority.
- This is a new way of working for all staff, please be patient with us.
- We look forward to seeing you!
