My mental taxonomy of what is and is not a cafe clearly differs from that of other mappers in the UK. For me the seating is important. It is usually the case that a place without seating will normally sell fast food because people don't like standing in a queue for 20 minutes. But I appear to be alone in thinking of McDonalds as a cafe with a particular cuisine and limited menu (and bizarre lengths of crispy potato instead of proper chips). Approach it from the other direction. Cafes in the US (called Diners there) sell burgers, amongst other things. A diner might have a menu very similar to McDonalds. Is that now a fast food joint rather than a cafe? If so, what if it limits the menu in summer and has a more expanded one in winter? Things blur a lot in the real world and drawing lines is hard. Especially when marketers insist on erasing them. There is a chain of transport cafes in the UK which describes them as "roadside restaurants." Over the issue of seating versus food speed, I appear to be alone. -- Paul
