[edit] Comment

Can someone please tell me why this list has many sit-down restaurants in it, like Big Boy? Also, should we really include fast-casual restaurants in this list as well? Dec '06

-> TelePizza is not Polish. It's Spanish. Poland is dominated by McDonald's, KFC, Pizza Hut... etc and sadly didn't develop even one national chain to compete with them!


I'm not sure if it's some kind of "pro-Canadianism" or what, but many companies founded in the U.S. are listed erroneously under Canada instead of where they belong, either in International or U.S.

I fixed a few but I'm sure there are lots others if someone wants to help out. --Snowsong1 01:53, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

    • Agreed, I'm fixing a few today... 209.105.207.181 15:01, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

On a similar note, I am currently moving some from United States to International, where the business in question also operates in Australia. -- Andoka 14:24, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

A pizza place that customizes, to order, every order they take, and take 20 minutes to make are NOT fast food restaurants. Sorry, but no way. Who is writing this list? TGIFridays? Fuddruckers? Have any of the writers here ever EATEN at these places? Also, there should be zero overlap between fast-casual and fast food. There is a noteable difference. I'm tempted to delete all the fast-casuals that I recognize out of this list, but I'll wait to see what others think.President David Palmer 05:33, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Where does Long John Silver's go to? it should be added to the list. Ragnaroknike 09:58, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

-> Some places listed in International should not be listed in Coutries. I've removed McDonald's from Eqypt, India, Mexico, and USA, since they are ALL franchised off of McDonald's International. I left McDonalds Canada since it seems to have it's own President and logos etc (with the Maple Leaf). Also, I've removed other "international" items like KFC, Pizza Hut, etc from international places. Also, Dunkin' Donuts, and Krispy Kreme are NOT fast food. They are donut stores, with sandwhiches added in the last few years. A suggestion, so as to not have 'doubles' and not need to have them in the founded country, is, have a flag beside the international resturant where it was founded. I.E. McDonald's would have a US Flag, * Made In Japan Teriyaki Experience Would have a Canadian flag etc. Allan 04:00, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Russian fast food chart looks short

There are more interesting fast food chaines started from Russia. Such as Pasta La Vista italian cuisine cafe. Check www.pasta-la-vista.com or http://i-food.livejournal.com/ It offers pizza in a cone among other specialties...

[edit] US/International List

Wendy's is listed under the Internatioanl Fastfood chains, but its not listed under the US Fastfood chains. Is this an error, or is there a particular reason for this? Anitha 8/7/07

This is also true for Pizza Hut, while many other chains are listed under both. Is this just a miss, or was there a reason?

[edit] Is there a list for out of business ones?

I added Red Steer. I think they're out of business. They launched a kids meal in a box around about the same time McDonalds started their Happy Meal. They also had small burgers called Lil Pardners. Same size as White Castle or Krystal Burger. Their thing was the beef they used came from some breed of cattle with red hair and a white face. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bizzybody (talkcontribs) 02:17, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removed unnecessary UK fast food outlets

Seriously, there is no need to list every single Halal chicken restaurant you have ever seen in the UK. It is unnecessary to have such a long list of non-chain stores. Goes against the guidelines too. Also got rid of restaurants that are not fast food, such as Frankie and Bennys. If you want to add to the list, make sure it is not just one store but is a chain, and is even fast food in the first place Seriphyn 13:58, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability

As it has been discussed HERE (AFD proposal for this article) and also per WP:SOAP and WP:LINKS, this article will only contain NOTABLE fast food chains that can be verified THROUGH MULTIPLE SOURCES (rather than just the company link) as per WP:N. Please help excluding the links of Non notable fast food chains and mentioning "as per talk" on the comment section. -- Loukinho (talk) 21:40, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Also, I'd like to inform that if a link is red is very likely to be non-notable and I'll be deleting those too. -- Loukinho (talk) 05:47, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
