- Order a Single Meat or Cheese Patty for Toddlers: For very young children or babies doing baby-led weaning, you can order a single plain beef patty (no salt) or cheese patty à la carte without a bun.
- Free Paper Hats, Stickers & Coloring Sheets: Every In-N-Out stocks classic white-and-red paper associate hats, burger stickers, and coloring activity sheets free of charge—just ask at the counter or drive-thru window.
- Splits on Shakes: One 15 fl oz Vanilla Shake, Chocolate Shake, or Strawberry Shake can be split into two smaller cups on request for siblings.

Kids Menu & Payment FAQs
Does In-N-Out have an official Kids Meal or Happy Meal?
In-N-Out does not sell a bundled boxed Kids Meal with plastic toys. Instead, parents order a single Hamburger (360 kcal), Cheeseburger (430 kcal), or Grilled Cheese (370 kcal) customized plain or cut in half, paired with 2% Milk (180 kcal) or a small fountain drink. Kids can request a free paper soda jerk hat and stickers at the counter or drive-thru.
Does In-N-Out take Apple Pay and Google Pay?
Yes. In-N-Out accepts contactless NFC payments including Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and tap-to-pay credit/debit cards at all indoor counter terminals and drive-thru payment windows.
Will In-N-Out cut a burger in half for kids?
Yes. Ask the cashier to cut any Hamburger, Cheeseburger, or Grilled Cheese in half when ordering. The kitchen crew will slice the burger cleanly down the middle and wrap each half separately in its own paper sleeve.
Can you order In-N-Out online or for delivery?
No. In-N-Out does not offer online ordering, a mobile ordering app, or third-party delivery through DoorDash, Uber Eats, or Grubhub because its fresh-cut fries and toasted buns are designed to be eaten immediately after cooking.
