Why Restaurants Might Restrict Kids’ Meals
There are several business reasons a restaurant might choose to do this.
Protecting menu pricing
If adults could routinely substitute inexpensive kids’ meals for regular entrées, the restaurant might lose sales on higher-priced menu items.
Controlling food costs
Kids’ meals are often priced around smaller portions.
Allowing unlimited adult access could change the economics of the menu.
Family-focused promotions
Some kids’ meals are intentionally designed as part of a family offering.
The restaurant may want to preserve that positioning.
