Families walk in, the kids get restless, and before you know it, they’re out the door. What if you could turn that experience around? What if you could have families staying longer, spending more, and leaving rave reviews?

Late last year we announced that Quantaco had acquired a controlling interest in Grub Lab and we’ve been working nonstop to make 2026 the most exciting year for Grub Lab yet!


What is Grub Lab?

Grub Lab is not just a kids’ menu; it’s a complete family entertainment solution. We partner with the world’s biggest brands to create an unforgettable dining experience that turns your venue into a destination for families.

Here’s how it works:

  • Customise: Add your logo and kids’ menu to our professionally designed, co-branded menus.
  • Receive: Get your ready-to-use menu packs delivered directly to your door.
  • Engage: Watch as kids light up with menus featuring brands they love, from Jurassic World and Minions to the NRL, AFL, and even the NFL!

It’s an incredibly effective way of differentiating your kid’s offer, encouraging more families to visit and spend longer enjoying your venue, while having your venue linked to some of the most iconic brands in the world.

The Grub Lab experience is already a hit in hundreds of Australian venues, and in 2026, it’s getting even better.

  • A Fresh New Look: Our new brand signals our ambition for everyone to feel part of something bigger; kids feel seen, families feel closer and restaurants enjoy success.
  • Exciting New Partners: This month, we’re launching the NFL menu and game in Australia, just in time for the Super Bowl excitement and the NFL’s first-ever regular season game at the MCG later this year!
  • Seamless Subscription: Our new subscription model makes it easier than ever to get ongoing access to physical menus and Grub Lab Games. Through a simple QR code, kids can enter a world of interactive fun, bringing their favorite characters and sports to life.
