Many Americans make monthly payments, called subscription fees, to receive services for movies, music, and even household goods. Now some restaurants are hoping that they want to do the same for their favorite meals. Large companies like Panera and P.F. Chang’s and small neighborhood restaurants are increasingly experimenting with the subscription model to bring in diners. Some offer unlimited drinks or free delivery for a monthly fee. Others will bring out your favorite appetizer each time you visit. They are following a trend. The average American had 6.7 subscriptions in 2022, up from 4.2 in 2019, says Rocket Money, a personal finance website.
