Are you in charge of Family Marketing & Promotion strategy in restaurants, collective catering, or hospitality (HCR sector)? Are you looking to highlight the kid-friendly & family-friendly features of your restaurants, enhance your brand image, and build customer loyalty among families?
Wakatoon specializes in cartoon coloring : we create custom stories for kids to colour and they become a cartoon thanks to our magic app.
We help large restaurant chains (fast-food or traditional), mass catering, or hotels to create a unique kids menu thanks to our custom pages to color. Our activities and cards will transform your children menu or kids-friendly brunches into a real creative moment.
"In 2019, in the US, 30.6% of family food spending was for food-away-from-home" (Source : Gitnux market study). Dining out in restaurants is very important for families. In France, there is great kidfluence on the choice of the restaurant : pleasing the children can lead to repeated visits to your dinner and therefore increase loyalty.
Based on our projects with HCR companies and caterers, this free activity and gift to promote your establishment costs lest than 1$/kid.
Also based on our campaign data, it allows you to multiply by 10 families and kids' touchpoints with your brand.
An unique activity that's different from the usual kids menu surprise gift or classic games offered. Our menu coloring pages can encompass entertainement, educational and even awareness features like for the one we designed for Elior, a French mass caterer for schools.
To increase families average bill and time spent in your restaurant, spent time on our drawing cartoons is longer than a classic illustration printed on the menu. Children spend an average of 10/15mn to colour each page and they're watching 2min of cartoon on the phone or tablet. Plus : they can color it over and over again !
A custom branded coloring activity that enhances Brand Marketing and will strengthen your image and values. French catering chains La Pataterie & Poivre Rouge have decided to feature their brand mascot in their kids coloring activities offered in their restaurants.
With Wakatoon, you offer a true family experience in your restaurant, way beyond a mere coloring page. The whole family takes part in the coloring activity (kids draw, parents take the picture) : they all watch the custom cartoon. Our data shows that 7 kids out of 10 enjoy the whole wakatooning experience.
Our packaging solutions for kids can be used by food service industry brands exclusively for entertainment, educational purposes but also to raise children awareness to some topics like food waste. This is what we call Edutainment (education and entertainment).
As part of our children's packaging project with Danonino a Danone brand, educational elements related to the history of football were added to each of the 8 coloring stories that were printed on pack.
