Introduction
Discover a new appreciation for Japanese BBQ at Honai, where premium cuts of meat are seared to perfection over traditional charcoal grills. Have the freedom to take control and master the techniques behind achieving the perfect sear. Or for those who prefer to sit back, indulge in the charred goodness of perfectly grilled meat. Either way, Honai offers more than a meal; its remarkable service and inviting atmosphere make for an unforgettable experience.
With that in mind, this handbook has been created for those looking to get the most out of their experience. From the basic standards we set forth in our Code of Conduct to the training times outlined in Session Information, we hope you are able to find what you’re looking for.

Code of Conduct
Introduction
We are personally responsible for the way we conduct ourselves, and so, our Code of Conduct sets basic standards that all users must hold themselves accountable for. In doing so, we can maintain the positive environment we strive for within our games. Our Code means more than just simply following policies; it is a framework for making the right choices. Whether you’re new to Honai or have been with us for some time, we encourage you to familiarise yourself with our Code and its relevance to you.
Code of Conduct
-
Roblox Community Standards
As a basis, you must abide by Roblox Community Standards—an outline of the expected behaviour and conduct from each player. These standards apply to all interactions you engage in: both within and outside of Honai on the Roblox platform. Not adhering to these standards will lead to enforcement action against your account. -
Respect
All users must respect one another; treat others the way you want to be treated. Whilst you are entitled to your own opinion, it should not be at the expense of making others feel uncomfortable and/or targeted. As a Japanese BBQ, we aim to promote a friendly and enchanting atmosphere where everyone feels welcomed. Any form of disrespect towards customers or staff will not be tolerated. -
Trolling
The act of bothering with the intention to create a disturbance is not allowed. In light of this, trolling on the premises of Honai will result in a reminder followed by a removal from the server if the behaviour continues. Having said that, trolling is only permitted to be carried out by a Middle Rank at the training center as a simulation. -
Exploiting
Usage of a third-party script to: gain an in-game advantage, create a disturbance with malicious intent, or for attention, is strictly forbidden. Exploiting in any Honai-affiliated games will result in a permanent ban, usually through our enhanced anti-exploit system.
Disciplinary Action
Players who breach our Code of Conduct are subject to disciplinary action—varying significantly depending on the severity of the violation. Each violation is reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and handled in accordance with established procedures. In most cases, we provide one reminder before taking any disciplinary action. If the player remains in violation of our Code, we assume it is with intent, and will remove the player from the server. On the rare occasion, a breach may result in a server ban or even a permanent ban across all Honai-affiliated games.
However, if you believe you have been wrongly punished, you have the right to appeal the decision. In order to do so, please contact a General Manager or above to initiate the call for review. From there, they will investigate the circumstances, and evaluate if the disciplinary measures were in line with our main mission. More information regarding your right to appeal can be found in our community Discord server.
Executive Chef Recommendation Guide
Introduction
The process of becoming a Middle Rank begins with receiving a promotion to Executive Chef—earned after accumulating 500 points. From this point, there are two ways to move forward and become a Staff Intern: the first is to wait for future application openings, and the second is to receive a recommendation from a General Manager or above. A recommendation is not simply given; it is earned through consistent effort, demonstrating skill, and remaining loyal to Honai. Building on this, to enhance your chances of receiving a recommendation, we have created the AIM (Activity, Individuality, & Maturity) framework.
Framework
-
Activity
We are looking for motivated Executive Chefs, demonstrating high levels of activity at the restaurant. On that note, we would prefer you play for 45 minutes daily rather than playing for 6 hours one day, and none for the rest of the week. It is less about having bursts of intense activity, and more about showing up regularly. This shows consistency—proving you have the ability to pace yourself. -
Individuality
Individuality represents a persons own identity—their unique values, beliefs, and emotions. We want everyone, and not just our Executive Chefs, to have the space where they are able to express themselves. With that said, we are interested in those who stand out. You do not need to look and/or act in a certain way to receive a recommendation. Just simply be yourself. -
Maturity
It is essential to approach difficult situations with maturity, regardless of the circumstances. Maturity in this context doesn’t mean avoiding emotions, but rather, responding to these situations with a professional mindset. This is a key trait we look for in all Executive Chefs, as it highlights their capability to deal with difficult challenges in high-pressure scenarios.
Recommendation Process
When a General Manager or above regularly notices your commitment to the framework outlined, you become eligible for a recommendation request. Assuming they decide to proceed with the request, an internal poll will be created amongst our General Managers and the Staffing Department. If, following an extensive assessment, the majority believe that you will make a great fit, a formal letter of recommendation will be issued; you will have the option to either accept or decline the offer. Should you accept, you will become a Staff Intern and begin your 7-day internship. More information regarding the internship would be made available to you then.
Partnership Program
Introduction
The objective of this program is to establish industry-related connections, bringing Honai closer to other groups. We deeply value every partnership, as each one plays a crucial role in our success and growth. To ensure that these relationships remain mutually beneficial, we have established a structured program that builds lasting connections. In light of this, if you are looking to join our Partnership Program, you must accept our terms and conditions.
Terms and Conditions
All partners agree to mutually benefit one another; announcing events and news once requested, reciprocating the partnership. Such announcements must be made public in the timeframe provided in the request. We also expect both the representatives and the group as a whole to conduct themselves in a courteous manner. This includes: the liaison of drama internally without direct involvement of Honai, maintaining or attempting to maintain exceptional activity levels, and preserving a professional work environment. The violation of our conditions puts the partnership at risk of termination and/or a blacklist dependent upon the result of an independent investigation.
Requirements
If you and your group agrees to our terms, please proceed to our requirements. These requirements are compulsory standards partners must meet before answering any questions, enabling Honai to filter out any non-beneficial partnerships. If your groups happens to meet each requirement, please continue with your application.

- Your group must be in the hospitality industry which is made up of: restaurants, cafes, juice bars, bakeries, apparels and hotels;

With that mentioned, if you do not meet some of the listed requirements above, some exceptions can be made after an extensive assessment of the group conducted by our Relations Department. If this is the case, please create a ticket with the Support bot in our community Discord server.
