There are two main types of buffet service, cold and hot buffets. However, among these, there are these 5 main sub-types of buffet: • All You Can Eat - As the name suggests, you can help yourself to whichever dishes you like. • Cafeteria Style - You are typically served by someone and move along a line. • Catered - this is typically catering for parties, weddings, or business meetings. • Special Occasions - Usually offered for a special event like a Valentine’s Day finger buffet instead of the regular menu. • Healthy Option - They have this at places like Pizza Hut, where you can help yourself to the salad bar alongside the regular menu.
