KIDS ARE COOL AT HOBEE'S!
We're crazy about kids at Hobee's! Our youngest patrons get
VIP treatment, like complimentary fruit plates, crayons and coloring
sheets,
and "just for kids" specials.
HOBEE'S KIDS' MENU FEATURES GREAT
BITES FOR
THE LITTLE ONES
Hobee's knows that most of our youngest fans like their
food without frills. Our special Kids' Menu,
for children 10 years and younger, features simple (and simply delicious)
entrees for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The menu also serves as a
coloring sheet, which keeps the kiddies occupied for a few precious minutes
while mom and dad catch up on the day's activities.
PTA
NIGHTS ARE A GREAT WAY TO RAISE $ FOR YOUR SCHOOL!
With budget cuts looming at most school systems throughout California,
we at Hobee's realize how important it is to lend a hand to our hard-working
educators. In 2002, we began hosting PTA Nights last Spring at the
Hobee’s in the Pruneyard in Campbell. They were such a success that
we now offer PTA Nights at our locations in the Pruneyard
(Campbell), Palo Alto, Stanford and Sunnyvale
for fundraising on a regular basis. We are available to host such events
on Tuesday evenings and will donate 20% of all sales generated by the families
of the school. Here’s how it works:
H0BEE’S WILL PROVIDE:
- A section of the restaurant reserved for your school
from 5:00 – 9:00pm
- Balloons in your school’s colors
- A flyer promoting the event to the parents
- A customized coloring sheet with school mascot/logo
when possible
- A funny face fruit plate appetizer for every kid
- A special treat for any student wearing the school
shirt or school colors
- A craft
- A kid-friendly crew
- A kid-friendly menu
- A visit from "Mr. Coffeecake"
- A check to the PTA for 20% of all sales generated
from those that let their server know that they are there for the fund-raiser
SCHOOL TO PROVIDE:
- Distribution of flyers to parents to promote event
- Community-oriented families
- School Spirit
- A good turnout
OTHER DETAILS:
- Reservations will be taken on a first come, first
served basis
- Hobee’s employees will track sales based on customers
identifying themselves as part of the event
This is an easy fundraising event that is fun and encourages
school spirit! Call the General Manager in Campbell (408) 369-0575,
Palo Alto (650) 856 - 6124, Stanford (650) 327 - 4111 or Sunnyvale (408)
524-3580 to reserve your PTA night.
A HEARTFELT LETTER
FROM A GRATEFUL MOM
At Hobee's, we've always welcomed kids with open arms. Our homey
atmosphere attracts lots of families and we receive many compliments on how
well our staff treats the kiddies.
Recently, we received the following letter from a Hobee's Sunnyvale customer who was so kind to
write to us about her kid-friendly experience there:
"Dear Mr. Taber,
I only have a few moments to write this as my 9 month old needs my constant
attention! I just had my first Hobee's experience yesterday morning. I met
a friend for breakfast at your Sunnyvale store. I have actively avoided
restaurants since the birth of my son as I have gotten everything from the
initial "dirty look" to the worst seat in the restaurant when I come walking
in with him by my side. Every restaurant I've been to has been less than
accomodating when it come to bringing in baby. However, my situation yesterday
was completely different. I was greeted with a big smile and a "hi little
baby" for my son as I waited to be seated. I was given a normal table just
like everyone else. I was offered a high chair for the little guy and not
one that looked like it was older than me and would collapse when he was
put in it. Gavin, despite his young age, was given a helium filled balloon
which much to my surprise was a total hit! It kept him occupied for a good
15 minutes, which in "baby time", as you may know, is an ETERNITY! I also
had an odd request for a pitcher of hot water so I could heat up his breastmilk
bottle. I didn't think expect the "sure, no problem" response and it was
promptly delivered to our table. The whole staff was friendly, courteous
and attentive.
We can't afford to go out very frequently but from now on, when we do,
we will make the long drive over the hill to go to a Hobees restaurant.
It is well worth it. You won a family over with your thoughtful kid friendly
attitude. I was impressed. Last but not least, the food was absolutely marvelous
and I was able to eat the whole meal (warm nonetheless) thanks to a balloon
and warm bottle. THANK YOU SO MUCH!"

years ago, we're keeping it posted since it's so darn cute!)
