location and brought to the event.

RESTAURANTS Buffet

Customers walk around and serve themselves. They take their food to the table. Sometimes servers will refill beverages, or

remove dirty dishes. Capable of feeding many customers at one time.

EXAMPLES??????

RESTAURANTS Cafeteria

Foodservice in which the food is displayed along a counter called a serving line.

Servers are stationed along the serving line. Customers take tray and walk along the serving line. When they see food they want, they ask the server for

it. The customer puts the dish on their tray and takes it

to their table.
