Dining Out Without the Drama.

Chaos: Add it to the Menu

  • "The last thing we want is to become that place where kids aren't welcome. We also can't afford to have families leave when their food arrives.”

    Lina | General Manager

  • "I miss adult conversation. Like, finishing an actual sentence without someone interrupting to say they're bored.”

    Esteban | Dad

  • "We're stuck choosing between restaurants we actually want to go to and places that won't judge us when the kids get restless."

    Julie | Mom

  • "Every restaurant in town is doing the kids' menu and crayons. We need something that differentiates us and keeps families coming back."

    Derek | Restaurateur

  • "My phone became the babysitter. Not because I wanted it to but because I just wanted to finish my coffee while it was lukewarm.”

    Allison | Mom

  • "We left before dessert. Again. Because apparently 45 minutes is my daughter's absolute limit for sitting in a restaurant.”

We get it. Family dining can be…complicated. Not anymore. The PopUp Kids’ Table offers parents creative fun and supervised play for their kids at their favorite venue. No devices needed. Just good old-fashioned play.

The PopUp Kid’s Table was created to bring a little more joy, and a lot more calm, to dining out with young children. As parents ourselves, we know how hard it is to find a restaurant that truly caters to everyone. So we set out to build a service that makes eating out enjoyable for both adults and kids alike, right in the places families already love to go.

We solve the family dining dilemma: vetted professional supervise engaging, hands-on activities such as crafts, games and creative fun for kids ages 3-10 at partner venues.

Our “craft tenders” transform rushed, screen-filled meals into relaxed experiences everyone enjoys. We turn family dining from a sprint into a celebration; parents linger longer, venues see higher checks and kids get creative play.

The PopUp Kids’ Table was created by a parent who discovered something simple yet powerful: when kids have engaging, hands-on activities at the table, meals transform from something to rush through into moments families want to savor.
