The restaurant said it should happen only 20% of the time. The Royals just came off a stretch of four games with 6 or more runs. Just a month into baseball season, more than 41,000 plates have been redeemed by fans. “Never in our wildest dreams did we envision that when we welcomed the Royals to the ohana we would see this kind of scoring streak generating this level of excitement,” said Shannon Scott, chief marketing officer at Hawaiian Bros. “It has been incredible to watch the city rally around the team and come together to celebrate with a free plate lunch the next day.” The promotion runs all season long, so it’s not too late to get a free plate. Rewards members will see the offer in their account the day after the Royals get 6 runs; that offer is only valid for one day. “Kansas City is home to Hawaiian Bros, and the Kansas City Royals are a huge part of what makes this city special,” Scott said. “Plates for Plates is our way of giving fans one more reason to cheer. It’s fun, it’s easy, and it brings our ohana together around two things Royals fans across the Midwest love – great food and baseball.”
