Fast food is a category of mass-produced, commercially resold food that places a high value on expediency of service. It is a term used in commerce to describe meals provided in packaging for takeout or takeaway and sold in a restaurant or store containing frozen, warmed, or precooked components. Fast food was developed as a business strategy to serve a huge number of harried wage employees, travelers, and commuters. Globally, the fast food sector was predicted to be worth $570 billion in 2018.
The drive-through has always been a distinguishing feature of fast food establishments. Outlets could be stands or kiosks that don’t have any sitting or shelter,[2] or they could be fast food joints (also known as quick service restaurants). [3] Standardized goods are sent to each franchise company that is a part of a chain of restaurants from a central location.
