Having is a kid-friendly restaurant can be an excellent opportunity to attract more customers. Almost every restaurant finds itself serving kids even if they are not considered a kid-friendly restaurant.
It is always a good idea to make your restaurant kid friendly. However, not all restaurants are the right fit for implementing kid-friendly ideas. If your restaurant focuses on bar offerings, then these ideas may not be good for you, but if you are trying to attract more families as customers, then making your restaurant kid friendly is a must.
When it comes to kid-friendly restaurants, there are a lot of factors that are involved— number one on the list being the kid-friendly menu.
Kids can have a powerful impact on their parent’s purchase decisions. This also happens when it comes to restaurant choices.
Many fast-food restaurants implemented child friendly menus long ago. Child friendly menus are a great way to have foods that kids will actually want to eat.
Here are some of the reasons why a kid’s menu makes your restaurant more attractive to parents:
Fussy Eating Habits
Feeding kids is not easy, especially in a restaurant. When parents ask what they want to eat, the most common answers are “I don’t like this” or “I am not hungry”. It is natural for kids to have some fussy eating habits.
Food items that suit a child’s palette, are not as sophisticated as the adult menu, which makes it much easier for kids to choose what they want to eat. Also, simple dishes take less cooking time, so with a kid’s menu, you can serve little diners immediately.
Also, Dishes in the adult menu can be spicy, with lots of seasoning and complex flavours which kids don’t like generally. Due to which, it becomes hard for parents to find food that their kids will eat without wasting it or throwing a tantrum. Children’s menus can help make this task easier by offering kid-friendly food that appeals to young palates.
Convenient Ordering
Whether ordering for dine-in services, takeaway or delivery, parents of young kids want to order conveniently and quickly. The sooner they can feed their children, the calmer they will be, and they can enjoy their food!
By having a separate children’s menu, parents can easily refer to a pre-determined list of kid-friendly dishes—rather than checking the entire menu searching for something their kids might eat.
Smaller Portions
It is essential to offer kids meals that are appropriately sized for them. Portions that are too big are not healthy for them; they won’t be able to eat it all and eventually, food will get wasted.
Smaller portions also cost less, and parents prefer ordering it so that that money can be saved.
By offering diverse kids’ menu, you can attract more families into your restaurant as it will help them spend more quality time together. Remember, if kids are not happy in your restaurant, their parents won’t be either. So, focus on keeping your small guests happy and satisfied while they are at your restaurant.
Burger restaurants like Milky Lane already have a kid’s menu, which helps them stand out from the competitors. It is an amazing idea to have a kid’s menu at your restaurant.
