Buffet
Buffet service is frequently offered during gatherings with a big number of guests. A buffet line that
includes food options on tables away from the dining area is passed through by guests. Because guests
serve themselves, it's easy for them to select the foods they wish to eat. After that, they go back to their
table to eat. Usually, attendants bring drinks and replenish them.
2. Reception
Finger food and appetizers are presented in a buffet-style arrangement where guests can serve
themselves. These are typically social events where guests mingle while eating and conversing.

Food stations includes a variety of courses and offerings to guests. Many times these stations are

food. In comparison, staff members or waiters serve meals from the buffet line in a cafeteria. Since
workers have control over portion amounts, this aids in cost management.
5. Plated
During this service, servers bring freshly prepared meals directly from the kitchen after diners have been
seated. The least expensive and most effective sort of banquet service is this one. At formal events like
weddings, where guests are requested to select a protein (beef or chicken, for example), plates are
constructed and arranged according to those demands.

Family-style service, which is popular throughout the world, involves seating guests and serving them a
big amount of food on plates or bowls that have been brought from the kitchen. The meal is passed
around the table as each guest serves themself.

If you show up at an event and the food is already on the table, you've experienced a pre-set service.
