A restaurant is a business establishment which prepares and serves food and drink to customers in return for money, either paid before the meal, after the meal, or with a running tab. Meals are generally served and eaten on premises, but many restaurants also offer take-out and food delivery services. Restaurants vary greatly in appearance and offerings, including a wide variety of the main chef's cuisines and service models.
In the travel context, 'retail' refers to the sale of goods and services to travelers or tourists, typically within or near travel-related establishments such as airports, train stations, hotels, tourist attractions, and cruise ships.
