Explanation:
I honestly don't think it's necessary to include the word "service" in the translation.

Hope this helps:-)

locales de venta de alimentos (preparados)


Explanation:
"Service" me hace pensar en alimentos preparados, "outlets" son locales; un ejemplo serían los McDonalds.

Posiblemente se trata de carne preparada para llevar, como barbacoa.

Pero es lo que me dice el término.
