Did they change to stop marketing toward kids or just wanted modern?

Probably wanted to charge more and also cycle customers through faster. Most people don't want to visit a place with a bunch of screaming kids running around, and if a family is taking up a table for an hour then that's fewer customers who can use that able. Bigger menu, higher prices, more customer traffic = way more money.

now the problem will be, less people go there, kids dont grow up with nostalgia for your food and dont go as adults. they also dont take their kids there.
