Adults should be allowed to order kids' meals at restaurants, amirite?

A lot of places let you. It depends on the restaurant policy. The places that don't allow it because they want you to spend more.

Probably got fed up with people taking up space and a group each enjoying 5-10 samples before a couple of them commit to buying a single drink each.

I think the common agreement is 2 samples, you get two tries then make a decision is a fair, and is socially acceptable

Perhaps, but a better policy then would be to limit the number rather than eliminate it. I asked them why and their answer was that it was all about time to get served. They just wanted you to make a quick order and leave, they didn't want to have to talk to you for 30-45 seconds and figure out what you like. It was entirely about speed for them. They were worried it was affecting their volume of sales, but in that case they should be hiring more bartenders, not forcing people to go quicker. It's a craft brewery, not a McDonalds. The way I look at it is that if they aren't willing to give me enough time to properly order, I'm not going to give them my money. And the policy wasn't only active when they were busy or anything. It was permanent, regardless of how busy or empty the place was.

It's not necessarily the monetary cost, it's the time someone spends at the bar trying several samples. If too many people do it too often in a busy place it causes problems. And unfortunately too many people don't have the common sense to only ask for samples when it's quiet.

That's just a crazy concept though. You're an adult ordering food - order whatever the hell you want. I get that it's their establishment and they can make that rule but that's nuts. "Let me" buy something from them. You have that backwards. You should be thanking customers for their patronage.

But kids meals aren't really priced to be the only thing in the order. They're meant to be bought with adult meals. If you factor in the cost of labor and food, they might not even be profitable. Why would a restaurant thank you for getting the cheapest thing on the menu?

It's not just that. Kids meals are often sold at cost or at a loss, with the assumption being that the parents will accompany them and pay for a full entree. Adults ordering off the kids menu can cost the restaurant money.

Medical reasons be damned, they still want you to fork up that extra $10 or so. So I usually get an appetizer or a side and spend less money on my meal anyway lol.

A lot of restaurants only serve the kids menu for 12 and under. Some places without that explicit rule still won't serve it to people over a certain age.

While out with him and my sister the other day, he tried to order chicken tenders at a restaurant and they said no because he "isn't 12." He's 20, but that should be irrelevant, his disability causes him to be an extreme picky eater.

That's only 0.75$ a kid!! lol

Kids meals are probably priced lower, as a loss leader, because they assume that the bill will include one or two adult meals. If you allow adults to buy a kids meal, don't expect that restaurants will leave the price the same. If a restaurant is forced to sell that meal as a standalone, I could see the prices going up.

The problem for restaurants is that the Kids Menu is a loss leader to get families in the door. I agree that anyone should be able to order off the kids menu but it would be reasonable for the restaurant to charge more for adults if they are losing money on the Kids Menu.

by jordane52 1 week ago

The idea is that a kid wont eat alone. They eat with at least one adult. Being that they eat less and the restaurant is already making money on the adult meal, the kid's meal is discounted. If the entire table orders kid's meals, there is even less money for the business to run. If you are trying to lose weight, dont eat out. We owned a restaurant & didnt cook for your heart, we cooked for your tongue and taste. So we didnt spare on the oil, butter, salt, cheese, eggs, carbs etc... If you want to eat out and lose weight, take a doggie bag home and eat the rest for lunch.

It's up to the restaurant, but restricting kids meals is a very effective form of price discrimination for them. It's hard to convince a family with kids to eat out, so a kids menu essentially lowers the price for them. Then, if you can require non-kids to order from the regular menu, you get to charge more for the population more willing to pay more per meal: Those dining without kids. It benefits the restaurant and those with kids. If you dislike it, there are restaurants with no such restrictions.

I sometimes order from the kid's menu at restaurants and noones ever told me I can't. It's basically the same thing as ordering an appetizer and saying you want it as your main, it's much cheaper than a main but smaller portions so they don't really care. It's especially true at seafood restaurants bc I don't eat any seafood so often the kids meal is the only edible option. If it's a really nice restaurant and the waiter is giving me weird looks I'll say "I have food allergies so this is the only option I know for sure works for me". They'd much rather an adult eat off the kids menu then have to spend 15 min telling the chef all the things I can't have and being forced to make a 1 off special meal for me with ingredients they might not have readily available or risking a big scene if I have an allergic reaction

by Key_Doubt 1 week ago

The thing people don't consider about this is the profit margins. Kids meals largely exist to incentivize adults into the restaurant. They sell at a low price, sometimes even free some nights, despite not having a significantly lower cost to prepare. Some places sell kids meals at or near cost. In an industry with razor thin margins of success, the kids meals are literally never a profit driver. If every adult came in and ordered a kids meal, the restaurant would fail quite quickly. That said, in a 20 year career in restaurants with close to a dozen restaurants in the mix, I've never worked at a single one that refused a kids meal to an adult.

The places that dont let you usually sell kids meals at cost or at a loss. They do this to make it easier for families to eat out who probably just wouldnt go out to eat if they charged the regular price for kids meals. So to let adults eat them means they would need to charge more for them. I think a better solution would be that more restaurants could offer smaller portions at the appropriate price. Ive definitely gone into restaurants knowing I'm just going to waste half a sandwhich or not eat my fries cause they dont have a low calorie option.

You should dine at a restaurant if you are hungry and want to spend money. Restaurants really are not for people on a strict budget. They are for people who can afford to dine out. If you are on a fixed income, it's better for you to make your food at home. If you do eat out anyway, order an entree, take the rest home with you, and leave an appropriate tip for the server --- yes even if you are a senior on a fixed income.
