The restaurants are of the fast food type. Customers give their order at a counter, pay and then wait for their food in at counter to be cooked in front of the customer if they enjoy watching; Then they take it to a table if the outlet is a restaurant with seating, or take it away if the outlet does not provide seating. The style of the restaurants is "modern". Generally the colour schemes are mostly white with pale green and pink, as well as wooden textures.
