Consumers have many options when it comes to fast-food restaurants, which offer the convenience of purchasing a quick meal without having to step out of your car.
One of the traits that can distinguish fast-food restaurants from others besides the quality of the food is customer satisfaction, and a new report from the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ASCI), takes a closer look at how these eateries compare in this category.
