Eating out is expensive – level 2 – News in Levels

Restaurants in Quebec, Canada, are having trouble filling their dining rooms because of high prices. Some chains are offering discounts and meal deals so people can afford to eat out.

For example, one Quebec chicken chain has lowered its prices to encourage people to visit more often. Other restaurants are keeping their prices steady instead of raising them. They hope this helps people feel comfortable spending money on eating out, especially when food is expensive.

In the US, many restaurants have been using similar ideas for years, like delivery apps and deals. However, experts think that while promotions can help attract customers, they may not be a long-term solution because it costs restaurants more money to keep offering discounts.

Difficult words: chain (a group of restaurants with the same name), promotion (a special deal or discount).
