The fast food wars are heating up.
In July, Del Taco became the latest chain to release a revamped value deal, offering 15 items at $2 and under.
To get diners back, fast-food and restaurant chains are launching more value deals. So, how do the other offers stack up?
Del Taco
In July, Del Taco announced its “Real Deal” menu, which includes 15 items priced at $2 and under. The chain has added new items, such as snack-sized chips and fresh guacamole, to the deal.
The $2 and under menu also includes burritos, tacos, and cheesy nachos.
Taco Bell
Taco Bell has its own value deal: the $7 Luxe Craving Box, which includes a Chalupa Supreme, Beefy 5-Layer Burrito, Double Stacked Taco, alongside chips and nacho cheese sauce, and a medium drink.
The limited-time deal gives customers a 55% discount off typical menu prices, the company said.
Earlier this year, Taco Bell overhauled its Cravings Value Menu by adding six new “meal-sized” items to the menu, which features items under $3.
Burger King
Burger King also announced a limited-time value offer, the “$5 Your Way Meal.” It includes a choice between a Whopper Jr., Bacon Cheeseburger, and Chicken Jr., alongside fries, four-piece chicken nuggets, and a soft drink, all for $5.
This deal is set to run for several months, unlike a similar deal offered by McDonald’s, Bloomberg reported.
McDonald’s
McDonald’s launched its $5 offering at the end of June. It includes a choice between two of the chain’s signature burgers — a McChicken or a McDouble — and a four-piece McNuggets, fries, and a drink.
Wendy’s
Other chains are expanding their existing meal deals. Wendy’s has announced that it’s adding to its $3 breakfast deal for a limited time. Customers can pair a small portion of seasoned potatoes with a choice between two breakfast muffins — a bacon, egg, and cheese English muffin or a sausage, egg, and cheese English muffin, the company said.
Starbucks
Restaurant chains are also getting in on the action. Starbucks launched new $5 and $6 breakfast combos in June.
As part of this new “pairings menu,” customers can get a 12-ounce iced or hot coffee or tea paired with a butter croissant from $5, or with a breakfast sandwich from $6.
Chili’s
Casual dining chains like Chili’s are also rolling out more deals and portion sizes to capture some of fast-food’s lost diners.
Chili’s launched its new Big Smasher burger earlier this year — the burger starts at around $12.99 when ordered its own, but comes down to $10.99 when part of the chain’s “3 For Me” meal combo. The cheaper deals hope to capture those diners looking for value as fast-food prices creep up toward restaurant chain prices.
