Our Environment
Casual-
dining restaurants offer food similar to fast-casual
establishments but with a table-service dining
atmosphere. Most casual-dining restaurants
provide a family-friendly environment.
The menus at casual dining restaurants are usually
more extensive than at fast-casual places.
Casual-dining restaurants employ waiters who take
customers' orders and serve the food.
The prices of casual-dining restaurants are
lower than at fine-dining restaurants,
but a little more expensive than at fast-casual
places. Customers usually order their
food at the counter and sit down at a table
to enjoy their meal.These restaurants
may serve a variety of pastas, chicken
dishes and simple seafood dishes.
Some have highly specialized menus,
but others serve a broad range of cuisine.
While a fast-food restaurant may serve fried
chicken meals, a fast-casual place may
serve roasted chicken, vegetables
and baked bread.
Fine-dining
restaurants usually come with the most elaborate menus
and expensive prices. Owners of fine-
dining restaurants want to present an atmosphere
of elegance and grace. Many require customers
to make reservations to dine. Some restaurants
enforce a certain dress code, while others do
not. Fine-dining restaurants employ chefs
who attended culinary schools and possess many years
of experience. Customers usually order their
food at the counter and sit down at a table to enjoy
their meal.Most customers do not mind paying
the expensive prices because of the perceived value
they receive from eating at fine-dining
restaurants. Some restaurants offer five-course
meals and an expensive and expansive wine list.
While a fast-food restaurant may serve fried
chicken meals, a fast-casual place may serve
roasted chicken,vegetables and baked bread.
