With consumers hungry for value, Denny’s is giving customers an affordable new way to build their perfect meal with the launch of its Triple Play Combo Meals.
Designed to cover all your bases, the new Triple Play Combo Meals allow diners to choose a drink, starter, and entree, for a meal that starts at just $9.99. The customizable three-part menu allows diners to stick to classic value menu items, or scale up to premium powerhouse mains for a little extra. As Chris Bode, President and CEO of Denny’s, said in a recent press release, "At Denny’s, we know our Guests are looking for maximum value without having to compromise on quality or choice. With our new Triple Play Combo Meals, we’re offering a fully loaded, drink-to-appetizer meal starting at just $9.99."
As for food and drink options, the new Triple Play Combo Meals include a little bit of everything. Drink options include favorites like Fresh Brewed Iced Tea, while starters include Maple Stuffed Donut Holes or Chips & Salsa. Finally, entrees include everything from a Super Slam to the brand's all-new Diner QP burger.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Modular Value Meals
- Bundled menu structures with mix-and-match components create room for restaurants to balance affordability, customization, and premium upsell paths.
- Choice-driven Dining
- Consumers seeking control over price and preferences are reshaping casual dining around flexible meal formats that feel personalized without adding operational complexity.
- Affordable Premiumization
- Value menus that include optional upgrades signal a growing opportunity to merge budget-conscious offers with higher-margin specialty items.
Sectors Adopting This
- Casual Dining
- Restaurant chains can differentiate in a competitive market by using customizable bundles that reinforce both perceived value and guest choice.
- Foodservice Technology
- Digital ordering platforms have potential to streamline modular combo selection, suggest upgrades, and simplify kitchen fulfillment for configurable meals.
- Consumer Packaged Food
- Packaged meal brands may borrow restaurant-style bundling cues to create customizable at-home dining kits that emphasize value and variety.
