Restaurant Discounts

One of the most common places to find age related discounts is at national and local restaurants. While these discounts are readily available, most restaurants do not advertise their discounts and thus the discounts must often be requested.

These discounts can come in a variety of different forms. Most common is a standard percentage, typically 10%, discounted from the price of the meal. Others may provide a free coffee or beverage with the purchase of an entrée or a "senior menu" with smaller portions and lower prices. Also look for 2 for 1 specials, as many places will extend the discount to companions of any age.

Age requirements will vary from location to location. Most large national chains will have an age requirement of 50 to 55, but most of these chains will usually extend the discount to people who simply know to ask for it. Local restaurants on the other hand will tend to have higher age requirements, perhaps 60 or 65 years of age and may require some type of identification. They will tend to have larger discounts.

While many restaurant chains offer a discount, they are often franchised and therefore each location may have a different owner. This can cause some discrepancies among the senior discounts provided. Restaurant chains may not require that the franchisees provide a specific senior discount or any senior discount for that matter. You will find however, that there is some continuity among senior discounts at particular chains.

Here are some of the national companies that provide senior discounts at some or all of their locations. SeniorDiscounts lists many more of these and tens of thousands of local restaurants throughout the US.
