As kids start heading back to school, QSR and fast casual brands in the foodservice space are eager to appeal to students of all ages, including strapped-for-cash college students, by offering new and affordable food deals, according to a <a href="https://www.nrn.com/quick-service/these-restaurants-strive-make-back-school-mealtimes-easy-families?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=these-qsr-and-fast-casual-brands-are-taking-advantage-of-back-to-school-season-2711029" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Nation&rsquo;s Restaurant News report</a>.

Chipotle Mexican Grill, for example, is <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/chipotle-kicks-off-back-to-school-with-free-delivery-sundays-and-things-you-borrow-kits-300911182.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=these-qsr-and-fast-casual-brands-are-taking-advantage-of-back-to-school-season-2711029" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">offering free delivery every Sunday in September</a> to help alleviate the back-to-school blues. The brand is hoping to ease Sunday Scaries by offering free back-to-school delivery on all orders of $10 or more. Chipotle is also taking the opportunity to also <a href="https://1851franchise.com/chipotle-to-offer-delivery-directly-through-its-app-2707679" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">promote its app and website</a> by running the promotion exclusively online. The back to school promotion falls in line with Chipotle&rsquo;s recent <a href="https://1851franchise.com/sorry-tiktok-facebook-is-still-the-king-of-marketing-2710754" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">focus on marketing to a younger, school-age demographic</a>.

For the college-age crowd, Chipotle is offering another clever promotion. &ldquo;Chipotle recognizes that it goes through over 5.5 million bottles of Tabasco sauce annually, some of which go &lsquo;missing&rsquo; in locations near college campuses along with its utensils,&rdquo; the<a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/chipotle-kicks-off-back-to-school-with-free-delivery-sundays-and-things-you-borrow-kits-300911182.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=these-qsr-and-fast-casual-brands-are-taking-advantage-of-back-to-school-season-2711029" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank"> company said in a press release</a>. Instead of letting customers borrow these goods, Chipotle is giving away a <a href="http://store.chipotle.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=these-qsr-and-fast-casual-brands-are-taking-advantage-of-back-to-school-season-2711029" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">&ldquo;Things You Borrow Kit&rdquo;</a>, including Tabasco Sauce and hoodies, to the first 50 digital orders made on Sundays in September in select markets near college campuses.

Another brand taking advantage of the back-to-school crowd is the New England staple Bertucci&rsquo;s. The Italian chain recently introduced <a href="https://www.bertuccis.com/specials/family-bundles/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=these-qsr-and-fast-casual-brands-are-taking-advantage-of-back-to-school-season-2711029" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Bertucci&rsquo;s Bundles</a>, an off-premise deal designed for families and large groups. &ldquo;With schools back in session and busy routines kicking in, Bertucci&rsquo;s is here to make mealtime easy for you and your family,&rdquo; the <a href="https://www.nrn.com/quick-service/these-restaurants-strive-make-back-school-mealtimes-easy-families/gallery?slide=3&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=these-qsr-and-fast-casual-brands-are-taking-advantage-of-back-to-school-season-2711029" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">brand told NRN</a>.

Making sure not to forget about the teachers, <a href="http://www.bgood.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=these-qsr-and-fast-casual-brands-are-taking-advantage-of-back-to-school-season-2711029" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">B.Good</a>, the counter-serve chain featuring health-conscious versions of fast-food favorites, is celebrating back-to-school time with a promotion that lets students and teachers get any salad, bowl, burger or sandwich for just $5 when they flash a school ID.&nbsp;

With all of these back-to-school promotions rolling in, it looks like pumpkin spice isn&rsquo;t the only perk that comes with the Fall time.
