U.S. fast-casual restaurants experienced 7% growth over past five years

Visits to fast-casual restaurants, which are quick-service restaurant (QSR) concepts that offer more service, higher quality food, and have a higher average check size than other fast-food restaurants, have grown 6% annually over the past five years, stemming in large part from store openings, reports The NPD Group, a global information company.
