It use to be like that, but it's more towards stores that are affiliated with them. Regardless I use their system free chips and Salsa and or drinks. They do have deals that pop up time and time again if you register and they will send emails with some great deals.
I heard they have a point system for everytime you visit if you're a chilis member. So, I'm guessing if you have earned enough of the points for redemption, your child eats free? I'm not too sure though, I'd call the location you're visiting for Comfirmation.
