In an effort to entice frugal diners back to its eateries, McDonald’s Corp. presented an update to its value platform in the United States.

According to a statement released Friday, the company’s new McValue portfolio will debut on January 7. It will include a $5 dinner deal from the company and a $1 add-on offer when you buy one item. Additionally, it will provide app users with local discounts and offers. The proposals had previously been covered by Bloomberg News.

According to Joe Erlinger, president of McDonald’s U.S. business, customers can define value on their own terms using the new platform.

McDonald’s is attempting to boost growth after recent quarters saw a decline in sales, partly due to American diners being put off by rising costs. Before many customers were put off by an E. coli incident connected to slivered onions on its Quarter Pounder, the restaurant had already made some strides.

On the company’s earnings calls, executives, including CEO Chris Kempczinski, stated that the chain is stepping up its efforts to provide reasonably priced meals after losing part of its reputation for value.

Among other things, the McChicken and sausage burritos are part of the new Buy One, Add One for $1 promotion. The $5 lunch deal offered by McDonald’s, which was first introduced in June, will be available until the following summer. Several extensions have been made to its run.

McDonald’s new value format will take the place of another platform that debuted in 2018 and sold things for $1 to $3. As a result of inflation-driven price hikes, lower-end items are becoming difficult to find.

Through Thursday’s close, the company’s shares had dropped 2.7% so far this year, while the S&P 500 Index had increased by about 25%.
