Food service operators are seeing one of the most important and growing trends in the past decade – the “gourmetisation” of fast food into a new category of food service called fast casual. One of the strongest restaurant concepts fast casual restaurants do not offer a full table service; however, they do advertise higher quality food in comparison to fast food restaurants. As a result, fast casual restaurants are perceived as an intermediate option between fast food and casual dining, and usually priced accordingly. Fast casual is now the fastest growing category in the food serviceindustry.
Below is information from two German companies in the fast casual restaurant sub- sector, which may or may not be material.

解释：
监管机构正在讨论禁止使用一次性塑料，因此可以首先确定，两家公司对一次性塑料的使用会增加其成本。具体增加的成本为其每年一次性塑料的用量乘以一次性塑料和替代品的价格之差。希望再明确解释下，用塑料袋的成本是替代品成本的0.6倍，那不是塑料袋成本更低，替代品成本比塑料袋成本高出40%吗？
