Despite being dominated in the advertising media by the mega fast-food chains, such as McDonald's, most restaurants are small operations. More than 70 percent are independent, single unit businesses with fewer than 20 employees, and one out of every three are owned by a sole proprietor or a partnership. According to the National Restaurant Association, in 2000 a full service food-and-drink establishment had average annual revenues of $650,000, and a fast-food restaurant took in an annual average of $585,000.
