STYLES OF FOOD SERVICE
There are various basic styles of food service in restaurants of different types. The most common styles are:
Buffet service
Buffet service is often called the “Swedish Board”. This system of food service is very convenient for the guest – they needn’t wait for the waiters and bills. This is really self–service. Breakfast is served from 8 to 10, lunch from 12 to 15, dinner from 18 to 20. As a rule this type of food service is arranged in hotels for big groups of tourists, and also for conferences and congresses. The counters with snacks and dishes, and snack-plates and trays for taking food are placed in the centre of the dining hall. The tables are near the walls. The guests come up to the Swedish Board and put the meals, appetizers and salads on the snack-plates themselves. Then they put everything on the trays and take their seats at the tables. The assortment of appetizers, dishes and beverages is usually rich. The guests can taste a little of each dish. Desserts are usually placed on a separate table. The waiter’s role is to clear the tables and serve drinks. The waiters can also help the guests if necessary.
Cafeteria service
In cafeteria service the guests collect their plates with dishes on a tray as they move along the counter. At the end of the counter there is a cash desk. There the customers pay for the dishes they have chosen. This kind of service is usually used in cafeterias, snack bars and canteens.
