About this dataset

Do you love the convenience of being able to drive through and pick up your food without having to wait? Well, you're not alone. According to a new study by Datafiniti, there are over 10,000 fast food restaurants across the United States.

That's a lot of restaurants! But what does that mean for the average person living in America? Well, it means that there are more than enough options for those who want to grab a quick bite on the go. And it also means that there are plenty of opportunities for those who want to open their own fast food restaurant.

So, if you're thinking about starting your own fast food business, or if you're just curious about where the most (and least) fast food options are in America, then this dataset is for you!

How to use the dataset

To find out where the most fast food restaurants are in the United States, you can use this dataset. The dataset includes the restaurant's name, address, city, state, and website. You can use this information to rank cities with the most and least fast food options
