]] ]] ]] Take-out (in ), '''take-away''' (in Australian , British English and in Israel ), or '''tapau''' (in Malaysian English ), is Food purchased at a Restaurant but eaten elsewhere. The restaurant may or may not provide Table Service . In the United States and Canada , food ordered this way (especially in fast food) is ordered '''to go''', and in the United Kingdom it is sometimes ordered '''to eat out''', as opposed to '''eating in'''. Take-out food is often Fast Food , but not always so. Whereas fast food carries the connotation of a standardized product from a globalized chain or franchise, take-away outlets are often small businesses serving traditional food, which can be of high quality. Examples include the neighbourhood Fish And Chip shops in the UK , Australia or New Zealand ; the Sandwich es sold by Deli s in the U.S. ; and the wide range of Sausage -based snacks (and increasingly Kebab s) sold from Stalls in German cities. Food that is delivered by a restaurant to a customer (often called ''delivery'') is also sometimes called take-out; although it might be more properly labeled bring-in, it never is. The establishment that sells take-out exclusively (not providing table service) is called a take-out restaurant, take-out joint or a take-away. There is no clear line between Street Food and take-out. Crêpe stands in France, for example, may be as permanently situated as a kiosk or newsstand, and some take-out windows (coffee and ice cream for example) clearly expect that the purchaser will begin consuming the food immediately on the street. In general, there is an expectation for take-out (as opposed to street food) that the consumer will have to sit and lay out the food packages for consumption. Certain types of food that are normally served in , Thai , Korean , Vietnamese , etc. In the UK, Indian Food is also a popular form of take-away as well as Kebab s from the middle east. Some businesses have taken a cue from the ever increasing popularity in take-out, and have created franchises to deliver food from restaurants not normally associated with take-out or delivery. In some areas it is also possible to place orders for take-out over the Internet. If it is possible to choose, the choice is between "to take out"/"to take away" and "to eat in" in the UK and Australia; or "to go" and "for here"/"to stay"/"dine in" in North America. SEE ALSO
