QSR / Fast Casual Filtering Alternatives

First Bite does not include labels for QSR (Quick Service Restaurant) or Fast Casual Dining in its Restaurants & Bars Target table.

These terms are unreliable because:

• Definitions vary: Users often define QSR and Fast Casual differently.

• Mixed formats: Many chains operate units of both styles, making classification inconsistent.

Over-reliance on these terms can cause your team to miss valuable accounts.

Better Search Workarounds

If you’re trying to identify certain restaurant types, here are examples of more reliable filtering strategies:

Cafe / Coffee

• Search Term: espresso

• Cuisine Filter: Cafe + Coffee/Tea + Breakfast/Brunch

This combination more accurately captures coffee-forward operators without missing those that aren’t strictly labeled as cafes.

Offerings and Services

• Filter: Quick Bites under Offerings

  This category is more consistent for identifying quick-service operations than using “QSR” as a style.

We also offer filters for restaurant Services if you’d like to narrow your search to include specific capabilities, such as:

• Drive through

• Delivery

• Dine-in

• Takeout

• Catering
