Kids Menu in Hospitality
A kids' menu experience children truly remember – with no extra kitchen effort and no cash at the dispenser.
What a Modern Kids Menu Needs to Offer
In many establishments, a kids' menu consists of a small dish and a drink. While this serves its purpose, it doesn't differentiate your business from competitors. Families primarily choose a restaurant based on whether a visit with children remains relaxed. This is precisely where the KidsMenü concept comes in: the children's meal includes a surprise that the child collects themselves. The advantage over colouring books or loose toys is the moment itself: the child gets up, turns the dispenser handle, and receives a sealed capsule. This is an experience, not just an add-on item – and it doesn't cost your kitchen a minute of extra effort.
How the KidsMenü Works at the Table
Order Kids' Meal
The family orders a kids' menu from your menu at the table.
Token from Service
Your server gives a token with the meal – you retain full control over its distribution.
Child Collects Own Toy
The child goes to the dispenser, inserts the token, and turns the crank.
Capsule as a Surprise
A sealed capsule containing a toy is dispensed from the machine.
Play Until Food Arrives
Waiting time until serving is covered, keeping the table relaxed.
What This Means for Your Business
The process is intentionally designed to integrate seamlessly with existing service operations. The dispenser requires no electricity and does not accept cash; it operates purely mechanically with tokens. This means there is no till in the dispenser, no coin reconciliation, and no misuse by guests simply taking a capsule. Only what your service provides can be dispensed. Ongoing costs consist of the capsules, which you reorder. You can calculate this per kids' meal sold and incorporate the amount into the menu price. A refill pack can last several weeks to months, depending on the size and frequency of your business.
