I basically agree, but there's also an intermediate "order at counter, have someone bring it to you". But the key point (here I'm veering into subjective, I know) is that fast_food implies that the food may be prepared in advance of you asking for it, generally is shipped in bulk to the restaurant, and is looked down on as factory food. If you order at a counter at a non-chain and they use identifiable ingredients and cook in ways someone born in 1880 would find respectable, it's probably "cafe", even if it's fast. The really difficult case is Panera....
