How it's used
Refers specifically to the style of food service rather than just the food itself. It is frequently used to describe the entire experience of eating at a chain restaurant where speed is the priority. While it covers burgers and fries, it is also used for local style quick meals like those found in a 茶餐廳 if they are served rapidly.
