Restaurants can be classified in different ways based on their menu, food preparation, pricing, and how customers are served. Historically, restaurants referred only to places where customers sat down to eat meals served by waiters. Now, the term "sit-down restaurant" distinguishes those that offer table service from fast food restaurants or diners where customers order at a counter. Common types of sit-down restaurants include ethnic, casual dining, family style, and fine dining establishments.

RESTAURANT
Various types of restaurant fall into several industry classifications based upon
menu style, preparation methods and pricing. Additionally, how the food is
served to the customer helps to determine the classification.
Historically, restaurant referred only to places that provided tables where one sat
down to eat the meal, typically served by a waiter . Following the rise of fast food
and take-out restaurants, a retronym for the older "standard" restaurant was
created, sit-down restaurant. Most commonly, "sit-down restaurant" refers
to a casual dining restaurant with table services, rather than a fast food
restaurant or a diner, where one orders food at a counter. Sit-down restaurants
are often further categorized, in North America, as "family-style" or “fromal".
