722: Food Services and Drinking Places
Industries in the Food Services and Drinking Places subsector prepare
meals, snacks, and beverages to customer order for immediate
on-premises and off-premises consumption. There is a wide range of
establishments in these industries. Some provide food and drink only;
while others provide various combinations of seating space,
waiter/waitress services and incidental amenities, such as limited
entertainment. The industries in the subsector are grouped based on the
type and level of services provided. The industry groups are
full-service restaurants; limited-service eating places; special food
services, such as food service contractors, caterers, and mobile food
services, and drinking places.
Food services and drink activities at hotels and motels; amusement
parks, theaters, casinos, country clubs, and similar recreational
facilities; and civic and social organizations are included in this
subsector only if these services are provided by a separate
establishment primarily engaged in providing food and beverage
services.
Excluded from this subsector are establishments operating dinner
cruises. These establishments are classified in Subsector 487, Scenic
and Sightseeing Transportation because those establishments utilize
transportation equipment to provide scenic recreational entertainment.
