Newsflash: kids love fast food. You probably even watch older students head out to their favorite quick-serve restaurants (QSRs) during the lunch hour. But keeping kids on campus—and getting them excited about your menu—is easier than you think when you have the right inspiration. Here are six ways to mimic fast-food favorites, plus some tips to help bring the QSR experience into your school.
Why Kids Love Quick-Serve Food
Readily-made meals at quick-serve restaurants are designed to be not only rapid, but also so tasty that customers crave them day after day.
In fact, many younger Gen Z-ers gravitate to fast food simply because they love the taste rather than the convenience.1
Pair this with the idea that these restaurants are common hangout places for friends, and it’s no wonder why students love them.
