Many popular fast food joints offer value menus that will give you plenty of bang for your buck in the form of one - price value meals, low -
cost regular menu items and even the rare dollar menu.
So, maybe what needs to be done, is the restaurants need to offer a choice between a «classic» kids
menu and an «enhanced» kids
menu, which features a subset of
items from the
regular menu (or even the whole thing, for that matter) in a «kid - friendly» portion size and a parent wallet - friendly
cost size.
