Fast-food restaurant, also known as a quick-service restaurant qsr

Oceania
Australia
Australia's fast-food market began in 1968, with the opening of several American franchises including McDonald's and KFC. Pizza Hut was introduced in April 1970,^[22] and Burger King followed. However, the Burger King market found that this name was already a registered trademark to a takeaway food shop in Adelaide.^[23] Thus, the Burger King Australian market was forced to pick another name, selecting the Hungry Jack's brand name. Prior to this, the Australian fast-food market consisted primarily of privately owned take-away shops.
New Zealand
In New Zealand, the fast-food market began in the 1970s with KFC (opened 1971), Pizza Hut (1974), and McDonald's (1976),^[24] and all three remain popular today. Burger King and Domino's entered the market later in the 1990s. Australian pizza chains Eagle Boys and Pizza Haven also entered the market in the 1990s, but their New Zealand operations were later sold to Pizza Hut and Domino's.
A few fast-food chains have been founded in New Zealand, including Burger Fuel (founded 1995), Georgie Pie (founded 1977, but closed 1998 after falling into financial trouble and being bought out by McDonald's) and Hell Pizza (founded 1996).
Europe
United Kingdom
The United Kingdom's signature type of fast-food restaurant is a fish and chip shop, which specializes in fish and chips and also other foods such as kebabs and burgers. Fish and chip shops are usually owned independently. Many other types of home based fast-food operations were closed in the 1970s and 1980s after McDonald's became the number one outlet in the market^{[citation needed]}.
However, brands like Wimpy still remain,^[25] although the majority of branches became Burger King in 1989.
