The segments of the restaurant industry are: fast food, fast casual, family dining, casual dining, upscale casual dining, fine dining, institutional, and retail foodservice operations. The definitions will vary slightly, but should include the level of service, the quality of food, the price points that each of the segments use to discern their products. The typical response for where people go for lunch is fast food and fast casual restaurants- this is typically due to time constraints and price concerns. The special occasion dining is typically at the higher end related to service, food quality, and service level- upscale casual and fine dining.
