This type of <br />restaurant is characterized by a large carryout clientele; long hours of service (some are open for <br />breakfast, all are open for lunch and dinner, some are open late at night or 24 hours); and high <br />turnover rates for eat-in customers. These limited-service eating establishments do not provide <br />table service. Patrons generally order at a cash register and pay before they eat. High-turnover <br />(sit-down) restaurant (Land Use 932), fast-food restaurant with drive-through window (Land Use <br />934) and fast-food restaurant with drive-through window and no indoor seating (Land Use 935) <br />are related uses. <br />Additional Data <br />Although the facilities in this land use may or may not be open for breakfast, it was confirmed that <br />the data provided during the a.m. peak periods were strictly for facilities that were open during <br />this time frame. <br />The outdoor seating area is not included in the overall gross floor area. Therefore, the number of <br />seats may be a more reliable independent variable on which to establish trip generation rates for <br />facitities having significant outdoor seating. <br />The sites were surveyed from the 1980s to the 2000s throughout the United States. <br />It has been speculafed that hamburger restauranfs may generafe trips at a higher rate than <br />oiher types of fast-food restaurants. The database was tested in an attempt to verify this <br />assumption; fhe data neither verified nor disproved it. Future research is needed in this <br />area. <br />Specialized Land Use Data <br />Current industry trends have resulted in the emergence of several new fast-food restaurants <br />without drive-through windows that specialize in the sale of very specific food items. The trip <br />generation characteristics of these facilities differ from the facilities typically contained in this land <br />use, as their sizes, trip generation rates and peak hours of service vary considerably. Another <br />notable difference in these land uses is that they are typically not stand-alone facilities, as these <br />restaurants are generally located in small shopping centers. Therefore, the information collected <br />for these facilities is presented in the following tables and was excluded from the data plots. <br />Trip Generation, 7th Edition 1741 Institute of Transportation Engineers <br />
