Kids’ Menu Replicas: Attracting Families with Children to Your Restaurant
If your restaurant or café doesn’t yet have a kids’ menu, now is the time to fix that! You’re missing out on a significant portion of potential customers—families with children. To make your kids’ menu visible to passersby and encourage them to visit, display realistic food replicas of kids’ meals in your storefront.
Key principles for designing a kids’ menu display with replicas:
- Placement at children’s eye level: Kids’ meal replicas should be placed on lower shelves so even the youngest visitors can easily see them.
- Set menus: Pre-arranged meal sets simplify a child’s decision-making, reducing service time and increasing the average check.
- Extra incentive: A small toy as a gift with a meal attracts children’s attention and increases their desire to dine.
- Special dishware: Colorful and themed children’s tableware makes portions more appealing and turns mealtime into an enjoyable experience.
For better visibility of the kids’ menu selection in the restaurant display, plates with meal replicas are positioned at a 45–50 degree angle, making the showcase more appealing and easier to browse.
Kids’ menu dish names should be fun and easily recognizable for children, sparking their interest and appetite. The price tag must include a “Kids’ Menu” label to help parents navigate the options effortlessly.
The kids’ menu display is designed in bright, eye-catching colors—yellow, orange, and pink—since these colors are most appealing to children and help grab their attention.
Kids’ meals are made from the same ingredients as the “adult” menu but with smaller portions and reduced seasoning to suit children’s dietary needs.
Children’s dishware designed as favorite toys turns mealtime into an adventure, sparking excitement even in the pickiest little eaters.
Even in regular dishware, a meal can become exciting for children by arranging the ingredients to resemble their favorite cartoon character, making mealtime a fun experience.
A small toy gift with every kids’ meal serves as an extra incentive for children to visit the café or restaurant, turning mealtime into a joyful experience.
A variety of gifts and the option to choose a toy make restaurant visits even more exciting for children, encouraging families to return.
Important! Poor lighting reduces the effectiveness of a kids’ menu display with replicas, making it less noticeable and decreasing its ability to attract customers.
A kids’ menu offering portion sizes of various sizes attracts families with children of different ages, ensuring every child finds a suitable meal.
Kids’ menu dishes are placed on the lower shelves of the display, making them the brightest and most eye-catching element, instantly attracting young visitors’ attention.
The lower shelves of the display make the kids’ menu more accessible to the youngest visitors, allowing them to easily see and choose their meal.
Kids’ menu meal sets simplify selection, reduce table service time, and help increase the average check in the restaurant.
