People tend to spend different amounts of money and time for lunch and
dinner depending on the type of restaurant they pick. A person might decide to
go to a sit-down restaurant, cafeteria or fast-food restaurant depending on
convenience and preference.
The average cost of lunch spent at a sit-down restaurant is $10, while the
amount spent at a cafeteria is $7 and the amount spent at a fast-food restaurant
is $4.50. We can see that people tend to spend the most money at a sit-down
restaurant and spend the least amount of money at a fast-food restaurant. This is
probably because of the diversification of their menus. Seeing as sit-down
restaurants will have more varieties than fast-food restaurants.
The time spent eating lunch is 40 minutes for sit-down, 30 for cafeteria and 20
for fast-food. People spend more time at sit-down because taken from the name,
you go there when you are not in a rush to sit down and enjoy your food. While
in the cafeteria, you spend a relatively short time because cafeterias are built in
offices and you will probably have a time limit to the time spent there. People go
to fast-food restaurants for a quick bite and leave which explains the relatively
short time spent at a fat-food.
People also tend to spend more on dinner than lunch because it is the last
meal of the day. For example in sit-down restaurants, the average cost of dinner
is $2 higher than that of lunch. This is the same in the cafeteria and fast-food
restaurant with a $2.50 and $0.50 increase in both respectively.
We have seen the many different types of restaurants, their main
features, similarities and contrasts as well as the reason for these similarities. We
have also analyzed people’s behavior and actions when it comes to cost and time
spent in different restaurants. We have come to the conclusion that people sprnd
more money and time at sit-down restaurants and also spend more on dinner
than lunch.
