Many Quebec restaurants face challenges due to the high cost of living, which has led some people to eat out less.

Some restaurant chains are offering discounts, meal deals, and price freezes to encourage diners to return. By reducing prices, these businesses hope to make dining out more affordable, especially when people are spending more carefully. For instance, one well-known Quebec chicken chain has lowered its prices, aiming to give customers better value and encourage more frequent visits. Also, other restaurants are trying to adjust by keeping prices the same despite rising costs.

This approach mirrors trends in the US, where restaurants use creative tactics like delivery apps, digital menus, and special offers to attract customers. However, discounts alone may not be enough to build long-term loyalty, as constantly offering promotions can become too expensive for the restaurant industry.

Difficult words: affordable (not too expensive), mirror (to correspond or be similar to), tactics (an action or strategy planned to achieve a specific end).
