Since its inception QSR has understood that fast casual is part of the quick-service restaurant industry. The fast casual movement represents an evolution of quick-service, as consumers have shown a desire for upscaled menus and décor in a limited-service format. QSR has covered this evolving segment from its premier issue, and it continues to be a vital part of the magazine’s editorial focus.

Visitors to QSRmagazine.com know that fast casual coverage is found throughout the site. All that coverage is now also available through a new fast casual portal located at www.qsrmagazine.com/fastcasual/ .

Current content on the site includes profiles of up-and-coming fast casual concepts, an examination of the actual size of the fast casual segment, trends on fast casual menus, fast casual industry news headlines, and more.

Visitors to the new fast casual portal may also sign up to receive the Fast Casual Blast e-newsletter from QSR. Anyone who signs up by September 1 will be entered into a drawing to receive a Kindle, the wireless, portable reading device that provides instant access to more than 110,000 books, blogs, newspapers, and magazines.
