The 488 parents’ survey forms being complete and filled out as instructed were considered. The parents whose survey forms were included in the evaluation have 805 children. A database was established on the computer with the answers of the participants and the obtained data was subjected to frequency, percentage distribution, weight calculation and sorting operations and interpreted in terms of the purpose of the study. According to the results of the study, the frequency of dining out decreases after families have children. The families mostly dine out on special occasions. The families mostly prefer restaurants offering meals such as döner kebab, kebab, pide when they go out. The families interfere with their children’s meal orders in order to ensure that their children consume healthier food and beverages. The families give up the decision to eat out mostly because of the lack of appropriate meals for their children’s age and taste palate. The physical conditions being unsuitable for children is another reason decreasing willingness to eat out. It has been determined that the effect of a child request on the selection of a catering enterprise is 81.35%. 79.30% of the participants stated that they could be willing to pay more if it were the case that their children were happier, they could eat healthy food and they could be more comfortable themselves with the provided service. The ratio generated by the result of the participants’ answers to the question what would be the rate that you would be willing to pay more was found to be 50.08%.
