LEGENDARY RESTAURANT NOW OFFERS DINNER FUN FOR KIDS
"Make Your Own Pizza" Lets Kids Enjoy Dining
Out
BOSTON (August 25, 2004) -
Dining out can be enjoyable for adults and children alike,
especially when a restaurant brings fun and entertainment
into the meal. Most restaurants are not equipped to entertain
children, and many kids lose patience waiting for their
meal.
Uno Chicago Grill is striving to change that with a new,
interactive approach to kid's dining," according to
Dan Wheeler, VP Marketing. "Our new "Kids Make
Their Own Pizza" menu option provides each child with
pizza dough, sauce, mozzarella cheese and, pepperoni --
along with an apron." Another plus: creating their
very own pizza helps keep the children busy while their
parents chat.
"We understand the needs of families," says Wheeler.
"If the children are having a good time, that usually
means the parents are, too. We help by offering what both
the parents and the children need." In addition to
the new menu option that involves children in making their
own meal, Wheeler notes, Uno Chicago Grill has servers who
are specially trained to interact with and help entertain
kids. For example, servers speak to the children directly
about what they would like to eat and engage them in the
ordering process.
"The key ingredient to any family's meal at a restaurant
is fun," says Wheeler. "The dinner table has always
been a family gathering place. At Uno Chicago Grill, we
strive to provide an experience that the whole family will
love -- and give them a chance to relax, laugh and strengthen
their bond."
