2 The next generation is here, and they want to eat! Right now, there are approximately 50 million children under the age of 11 in the United States, causing operators to reevaluate their offerings to suit this growing consumer base. And it s not just your typical chicken nuggets and hot dogs that youngsters are looking for. With the growing popularity of TV shows like Master Chef Junior, the younger crowd is looking to elevate their palate s and smart operators are hearing them loud and clear. After all, restaurants that are kid friendly can increase their traffic up to 25%. While kids are looking to upgrade their menu selections, parents are wanting to make sure they have healthier options. Parents are practicing stealth health by guiding kids towards whole grains, fresh vegetables and gluten free options. Operators are noticing these trends and are offering alternatives like grapes and fruit smoothies in place of french fries and milkshakes, or by sneaking broccoli and cauliflower into kid-favorites like macaroni & cheese. Food allergies affect approximately 8% of all children, demanding that operators develop well-rounded menus offering a variety of options for guests with dietary restrictions. Many chefs have had success in offering smaller portions or toned down versions of plates from their main menu. Remember, kids often don t want to be treated as kids, so making their meals look like everyone else s is important. Allowing kids to eat like adults is a gateway to getting them eating healthier and thinking about menu choices differently. Sophisticated menu choices for children include meatballs and polenta grown from fresh in season corn, or a lemongrass chicken quesadilla with a fresh roasted corn salsa. Inside this catalog are staple items of kid s menus. But don t just limit yourself to these items, your Driscoll Foods rep is ready to help design a kid s menu that will develop a customer base for accounts for years to come.
