How Are Chain Restaurants Trying To Win Back Customers?<\/h2>\n

Like Olive Garden, chain restaurants are increasingly offering value meals or promotions like the pasta pass, offering deals for a flat fee. In 2024, McDonald\u2019s rolled out a $5 value meal, and last year, brought back \u201cExtra Value Meals,\u201d a deal it had not offered since before the Covid-19 pandemic. The $5 meal includes a McChicken or McDouble, four-piece chicken nuggets, fries and a drink, while the Extra Value Meals save customers 15% on combo meals. McDonald\u2019s CEO Chris Kempczinski told CNBC<\/u> last year the deals are a bid to win over lower-income consumers, saying they are \u201cunder a lot of pressure right now\u201d in what he called a \u201ctwo-tiered economy.\u201d In 2023, Subway<\/u> brought back its Footlong Pass, a monthly subscription service that offers consumers 50% off sandwiches for a flat fee of $15, and in 2022, Taco Bell<\/u> unveiled a monthly Taco Lover\u2019s Pass that offers fans 30 free tacos over 30 days. Earlier this year, Applebee\u2019s<\/u> brought back its \u201cAll You Can Eat\u201d deal, offering customers unlimited fries with their choice of boneless wings, riblets or shrimp. <\/p>\n

key background<\/h2>\n

As customers have felt the pressures of inflation, traffic at restaurants has declined. In December, CNBC<\/u> reported restaurant traffic was down year-over-year for every month of 2025, except for July, when traffic increased by just 0.1%, citing data from Black Box Intelligence. Restaurants faced increased pressure earlier this year as the war in Iran caused gas prices<\/u> to spike. Chains including Domino\u2019s and Applebee\u2019s reported declining traffic in March and April, and Black Box data showed restaurant traffic dipped 2.3% in March from one year prior. <\/p>\n
