There are multiple kinds of restaurant establishments; some are fast food restaurants, formal or buffet style, and some have a casual atmosphere which is called casual dining. Some restaurants don’t even have tables and chairs in them, as customers leave right after they have received their orders. The various kinds of restaurants depend on the menu of the restaurant, the way they prepare and serve their food and how they price their meals. However, the main reference in labeling a restaurant is how the staff serve the food to their customers.
What is Casual Dining?
A casual dining restaurant is a kind of food establishment that serves a moderately priced meal in a casual atmosphere. This kind of restaurant provides table service. Usually, food is affordable and served right after you have ordered your meal. Waiters are also approachable and will get you what you need.
Why Do People Love Casual Dining?
If you are in a hurry and you need something to eat, then a casual dining restaurant establishment is the first thing that could get in your mind. Since you receive your order straight after you have paid for a meal, you will not have to wait a long time before you get to eat your food. Usually, casual dining establishments offer comfort foods which are why customers tend to choose to eat at a casual dining restaurant. They also offer side dishes like desserts and salads at an affordable price.
In fact, according to Technomic, “fast casual chains grew by 11% in 2013, while store count rose 8%. Chipotle Mexican Grill, one of the frontrunners in this recent fast casual goldrush, generated $3.2 billion in revenue last year, which may not seem like much next to $29.56 that McDonald’s brought in. However, if you look under the hood, the growth comparison is impressive. While McDonald’s growth remains relatively stagnant, Chiptole has seen consistent growth at approximately 20%, according to Forbes, over the past five years. A quick look at stock drives the point home – Chipotle is estimated at $444, while McDonald’s rests around $103 per share.”
