INTRODUCTION
Carveries and buffets are based on a style of service where the customers come to the table with food presented on it and help themselves or are served by a chef or waiter.
The food is not brought to the table for them. They must get up from their seat in order to choose their own food. Buffets and carveries appeal to customers for a variety of reasons:
• It is an interactive type of service where customers can help themselves and can also be served by waiting for staff.
• Customers have the opportunity to mingle with other people and possibly meet them.
• Customers can choose exactly what and how much they want to eat.
• On unlimited buffets and carveries, customers can return and eat as much as they like.
