Note: FFR = fast-food restaurants (encompassing fast-casual restaurants, quick-service restaurants and coffee shops), SDR = sit-down restaurants (defined as restaurants with table service. Many sit-down restaurants may also offer a take-away option).
*Restaurant provided separate data for their sit-down and quick-serve menus; because both sets of data were included in the analysis, they were classified as both.
