Fast food brands in the U.S.
Fast food restaurants, otherwise known as quick service restaurants (QSRs) or limited service restaurants (LSRs), are establishments that typically serve food quickly and do not provide table service. Variations on the quick service concept mainly consist of fast casual restaurants, food trucks, kiosks, and smaller hole-in-the-wall establishments. The United States is undeniably the founder of modern-day quick service restaurant chains. In the U.S., all states are home to QSRs’ – in 2019, California accounted for highest number of QSRs, while the least populous state, Wyoming, accounted for the least. Meanwhile, the quick service restaurant industry’s revenue in the U.S. reached a sum of approximately 239 billion U.S. dollars in 2020.
