GLENVIEW, IL (December 18, 2012) -- Traditionally, MicroBrewery restaurants or brewpubs draw in an adult crowd with extensive and specialty beer menus. Today many of these establishments have come to realize the importance of a family friendly menu appealing to parties with kids, which now makes up over one-third of their patron base[1]. Operators who are looking to draw in large family crowds can pull them in by offering KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese on their menus.

One benefit of offering a kid-friendly menu, parties with kids can help increase restaurant party checks up to 22% higher than average1. As one of today's top featured items on kids' menus[2], parents appreciate that KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese is a good source of calcium and vitamin D[3]. In fact, mac & cheese is an important meal in the MicroBrewery category, to the extent that brewpub patrons order this item 12% more than full service restaurants and 54% more often than all restaurant segments combined[4]. Offer a familiar and beloved meal option to get kids comfortable, excited and coming back for more!
