Restaurants
are
classified
or
distinguished
in
many
different
ways.
The
primary
factors
are
usually
the
food
itself
(e.g. vegetarian, seafood, steak);
the cuisine (e.g.
Italian,
Korean,
Chinese,
Japanese,
Indian,
French,
Mexican,
Thai)
or
the
style
of
offering
(e.g. tapas bar,
a sushi train,
a
tastet
restaurant,
a buffet restaurant
or
a yum
cha restaurant).
Beyond
this,
restaurants
may
differentiate
themselves
on
factors
including
speed
(see fast
food),
formality,
location,
cost,
service,
or novelty
themes (such
as automated
restaurants).
Some
of
these
also
include fine
dining,
casual
dining,
contemporary
casual,
family
style,
fast
casual, fast
food, cafes,
buffet,
concession
stands,
food
trucks,
pop-up
restaurants, diners,
and ghost
restaurants.

Restaurants
range
from
inexpensive
and
informal lunching or dining places
catering
to
people
working
nearby,
with
modest
food
served
in
simple
settings
at
low
prices,
to
expensive
establishments
serving
refined
food
and fine
wines in
a
formal
setting.
In
the
former
case,
customers
usually
wear
casual
clothing.
In
the
latter
case,
depending
on
culture
and
local
traditions,
customers
might
wear
semi-casual, semi-formal or formal
wear.
Typically,
at
mid-
to
high-priced
restaurants,
customers
sit
at
tables,
their
orders
are
taken
by
a waiter,
who
brings
the
food
when
it
is
ready.
After
eating,
the
customers
then
pay
the
bill.
In
some
restaurants,
such
as
those
in
workplaces,
there
are
usually
no
waiters;
the
customers
use
trays,
on
which
they
place
cold
items
that
they
select
from
a
refrigerated
container
and
hot
items
which
they
request
from
cooks,
and
then
they
pay
a
cashier
before
they
sit
down.
Another
restaurant
approach
which
uses
few
waiters
is
the
buffet
restaurant.
Customers
serve
food
onto
their
own
plates
and
then
pay
at
the
end
of
the
meal.
Buffet
restaurants
typically
still
have
waiters
to
serve
drinks
and
alcoholic
beverages.
Fast
food
establishments
are
also
considered
to
be
restaurants.
In
addition, food
trucks are
another
popular
option
for
people
who
want
quick
food
service.
Tourists
around
the
world
can
enjoy
dining
services
on
railway
dining
cars
and
cruise
ship
dining
rooms,
which
are
essentially
travelling
restaurants.
Many
railway
dining
services
also
cater
to
the
needs
of
travellers
by
providing
railway
refreshment
rooms
at
railway
stations.
Many
cruise
ships
provide
a
variety
of
dining
experiences
including
a
main
restaurant,
satellite
restaurants,
room
service,
speciality
restaurants,
cafes,
bars
and
buffets
to
name
a
few.
Some
restaurants
on
these
cruise
ships
require table
reservations and
operate
specific dress
codes.[33]
