Take a look at your kid’s menu

Recent conversations with some of our customers have lead to the age old question “What can I do to bring more customers in?” As the head of the AGAR test kitchen, that question is one of the most commonly asked questions we hear. Let’s start with the kids. If you have young ones, you know that most likely, depending on their age, you will go where they feel comfortable or places that have menu items they will eat. But there comes a time that you may want to mix it up a little and see if you can generate new customers with different ideas for the kids.

Here are a few simple ideas to ponder…

-Revisiting your Children’s Menu.  A lot of us have gotten “stuck in a rut” in regards to what we offer. 

-Start to approach your children’s menu like your “House” menus. 

-Look at the seasons…add a warm apple crisp or a pint sized strawberry shortcake instead of a hoodsie cup. 

-Piggyback nightly specials with a kid sized portion.

-Create a Children’s Menu based on “kid” sized portions using items off your existing menu.

Those of us with children are often “encouraged” by our little ones as to what or where to eat and if we can create a “buzz” with the kids while keeping mom and dad happy as well, everyone will win. How many times have you had to leave a restaurant because the kids did not want to eat there or they were done well before the parents were?
