Updated October 31, 2017

The Perkins chain was established in 1958, when Matt and Ivan Perkins opened what was called Perkins Pancake House in Cincinnati, OH. In the 1960s, the chain expanded as a franchise and today is known as an all-day breakfast franchise with a special emphasis on children. The chain is also known for their generous discount programs and promotions as a way to engage and retain customers. This is accomplished via their eClub discounts, Kids Club, eClub, and other promotions.

Marketing Programs That Focus on Kids Builds Generational Loyalty

Besides birthday freebies, Perkins has created a special Kid Perks Meals Menu. When kids order a meal from this menu, they get a free drink and a free "treat," which is either two mini chocolate chip cookies, 2 mini sugar cookies, or fresh grapes.

The kid-focused Kids Perks menu is one way Perkins is working to make its restaurants a family-friendly choice for dining out. "Free" is a key motivator for many frugal families, so the free extras that Perkins gives away with every Kids Perk meal keep the Perkins Restaurant brand top-of-mind as a go-to choice for both parents and children.

Perkins Kid Perks Menu Choices

Aiming to position itself as an all-American family restaurant, Perkins uses its kid's menu as a next-generation nostalgic loyalty program.

Brioche French Toast Tower. French toast is cut into sticks and served in a stacked "tower" just for fun.
City Slicker. A classic bacon, egg, and toast breakfast in kid-sized portions.
Kid's Lunch. Kid's Grilled Cheese, Kid's Cheeseburger, and Kid's Chicken Strips have smaller portions of kid's classic lunch and dinner favorites.
Deliciously Fit Meals. These Kid Perks menu items are designated as fit because they're under 500 calories.
Rainbow Pancakes. What makes these pancakes "rainbow" are the rainbow colored sprinkles on top.

Perky Bear Pancakes. These pancakes are sprinkled with chocolate chips and served in the shape of a bear which actually looks like Mickey Mouse.
Silver Dollar Short Stack. These three mini pancakes are fun-sized for kids
Kids Mini Chef Salad. A kid-sized version of the adult classic.
Kids Kraft Mac & Cheese. There's nothing restaurant-fancy about this; it's just like getting it out of the box at home.

More Discounts and Promotional Specials for Perkins Restaurant Customers

People over the age of 13 can register for the MyPerkins Restaurant eClub. New members receive a coupon for 20% off just for joining. Members over the age of 13 also receive a "birthday gift."

Because eClubs were created specifically for email marketing, MyPerkins members can expect to receive periodic email notification of new menu items and special deals throughout the year. However, this is standard practice in the U.S. restaurant industry.
