Fast Casual Restaurants

Currently, one of the hottest trends in the restaurant industry is fast casual which means high end fast food restaurants.
Usually these restaurants still have disposable dishes and flatware, however, their food tends to be higher quality. You can expect to see gourmet breads, organic ingredients and local ingredients.

Panera Bread is a great example of a fast casual restaurant. Another feature of fast casual restaurants is they have open kitchens so you can see your food being made right before your eyes!
