Position the buffet table in a way that allows for easy flow of guests. A common practice is to place the table against a wall for a traditional serving line or in the centre of the room for a dual serving line, depending on the number of guests. This ensures that there is enough space for everyone to move around comfortably.  Plates should be at the beginning of the line, followed by food items, and utensils at the end. This setup helps prevent congestion and allows guests to fill their plates efficiently.
