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.
