Introduction
Fast food appeared firstly in America at the beginning of 1990s. Then, it
became popular over the word and was a important part in human’s life. With the
improvement of fast food, many firms of fast food was founded such as: KFC
(Kentucky Fried Chicken), Lotteria, Chicken Town, Jollibee, McDonald etc
One of the persons, who founded the industry of fast food is Carl Karcher.
He was born in Ohio, America. He came to California in 1939. Then he opened a
drive-in restaurant to serve the person, who was in car with the name Carl’s drive-in
Barbecue. Then, many fast-food chains were developed to market main products
such as chicken, pizza, tacos, sub-sandwiches, etc. It was beginning of the
appearance of fast food restaurants. Today, 160,000 fast-food restaurants serve

are many kinds of fast food to choose people like pizza, hotdog etc. Nowadays, we
can see many restaurant of fast food over the world with many famous firms. It is
really a part of our life.
At the beginning of 1990s, Vietnam was a poor country. The economic was
underdeveloped. Therefore, Vietnamese always attaches much importance to
traditional food. It is difficult for Vietnamese to pay attention other foods, which
comes abroad especially. In addition, the firms of fast food can’t consider Vietnam
as a new market, where they continued to develop the industry of fast food.
However, nowadays, Vietnam is a developing-country. Therefore, Vietnam has
been being a membership of the WTO. Since then, the economic in Vietnam has
been developing. The face of Vietnam has been changing. Because many famous
companies, many famous firms on the world is beginning to pay attention Vietnam.
They invest big-invested capital in many fields in Vietnam. The firms of fast food
are also. They begin to open many restaurants in some big cities. There is other
reason for those firms to invest in Vietnam is that Vietnam has a young population.
It seems to be an advantage for the industry of fast food, because a major of
customers is young in the restaurant of fast food. Therefore, the youth is easy to
contact new things, new technology etc and fast food is very suitable for them.
