Does the hotel offer continental breakfast? Most hotels in the US do and it's FREE! Find out and if the hotel does have continental breakfast, then that is one meal that he won't have to pay for.

I would estimate at LEAST $5 per person for a fast food meal like Wendy's, McDonalds, Taco Bell, Subway, ect.. I would say $8 per person for a fast food meal to be safe.

I would estimate more around $15-$18 or even $20 per person for a meal at a sit-down restaurant like Applebees, Ruby Tuesday, O'Charles, ect.. After you add in tax and tip, it usually comes to about $20 per person.

If they will go to a more fancy restaurant, then $30+ per person will be expected.

Usually we tip 15% for lunch meals and 20% for evening meals. You don't have to give a tip at fast food restaurants.

I always say, it's better to have too much money and have some leftover than not enough money and run out. They will also need extra cash for drinks or snacks between meals.
