The restaurant and foodservice industry is a service industry that can be divided into four major segments: QSRs, fast-casual, casual, and fine-dining establishments. QSRs generally offer a limited menu and very rapid but low-intensity service. Fast-casual establishments, the industry's fastestgrowing segment, provide menu options that are generally slightly higher in price than QSRs, although fast-casual options do not generally include table service. Casual restaurants are considered to be those that provide table service to guests and serve moderately priced food in an informal atmosphere. Finally, fine-dining operations offer guests the highest-quality food and full table service, differing from other restaurant segments by providing higher-quality product, more attentive service, and more devotion to overall ambience.
