A fast food restaurant 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 consists of a “meat-sweet diet”, and the menu is rather limited. The food is cooked in advance and is kept hot. It is usually ready to take away, although some restaurants provide seating as well. Fast food restaurants are typically part of a restaurant chain or franchise operation.

The name and location of the first fast food restaurant is lost to history, but the origins of fast food are really the origins of street food. Fast food has always been associated with urban development. This means whenever highly populated areas sprung up in history, so did fast food. Today, despite its obvious drawbacks, fast food restaurants are popular across the globe.
