Question

plz help me im doing a project

Answer 1

A fast-food restaurant characterized both by food ready to eat quickly after ordering, and by minimal service. One trait shared by all fast food establishments is that the customer pays for the food prior to consuming it. Often this food is referred to as fast food. In response to increasing criticism, the industry has been trying to move the public away from that term over the past ten to fifteen years, shifting to the term quick service restaurant (QSR for short).

The food in these restaurants is often cooked in bulk and in advance and kept warm, or reheated to order. Many fast-food restaurants are part of restaurant chains or franchise operations, and standardized foodstuffs are shipped to each restaurant from central locations. There are also simpler fast-food outlets, such as stands or kiosks, which may or may not provide shelter or chairs for customers.

Because the capital requirements to start a fast-food restaurant are relatively small, particularly in areas with non-existent or poorly enforced health codes, small individually-owned fast-food restaurants have become common throughout the world. Restaurants such as Culver's and Noodles, where the customers sit down and have their food orders brought to them, are also considered fast food

Answer 3

fast food

food fast

does not involve a waitress

you order your food and you get it

slower sit down service would have an waitress take your order, ring it in, it would go to the kitchen and you wait to be seated.

The fast food restaurant cuts out the middle man.

They do not tend to staff a hostess or a busser like a sit down restaurant.

This would be the responsibility of the staff designated by shift duty or by the instruction of the manager.

Fast food tends to be quick and affordable.

Unfortunately it is not always nutritious.
