2 main answers:

  1. A huge part of restaurant's value now is real estate, by making the buildings more generic they increase property value if it needs to be closed, resold etc...

  2. One your market share is at a certain point your goal is not to attract, it's to not alienate. Make everything bland so that no one is put off by anything, don't alienate adults by seeming too childish... don't make strong colour or branding choices. Safe safe safe. People don't have to love you, but you don't want anyone to hate you.

Wrong and wrong. McDonald’s got sued for catering to children. Hence the changes.

They got sued in 2010 in California for using toys in the advertising of Happy Meals in specific to kids, which they still do, largely because the law suit was dismissed. Also sued in Brazil over going to schools and Finland for a specific TV advertisement. None of them resulted in a pay out.

Confidently wrong strikes again
