4. A fast food restaurant, also known as a quick service restaurant (QSR) within the
industry itself, is a specific type of restaurant characterized both by its fast food cuisine
and by minimal table service.
Food served in fast food restaurants typically caters to a "meat-sweet diet" and is offered
from a limited menu; is cooked in bulk in advance and kept hot; is finished and
packaged to order; and is usually available ready to take away, though seating may be
provided.
Fast food restaurants are usually part of a restaurant chain or franchise operation, which
provisions standardized ingredients and/or partially prepared foods and supplies to each
restaurant through controlled supply channels.
