@cozykaffe@snouts.online There are, as we understand it, three 'grades' of restaurant. Fast food, which you know; "fast-casual", which is nicer than fast food but still has the pay-before-you-eat, order-at-the-counter format, and "sit-down restaurants", which is the sort where you get a menu, sit down with it, give a waiter your order, and pay after you finish.
@cozykaffe@snouts.online Taco Bell is fast food, Moe's is fast-casual, and that Mexican restaurant that exists under different names in every town simultaneously is a sit-down restaurant.
