Guest-Related Advantages of
Buffets
• Flexibility. They can select the items and the amount
of each item that they desire to eat.
• Value. Guests believe they receive a bargain when,
regardless of how much they take, the price is the
same.
• Unlimited food. All items displayed are available for
guest selection and appear to be available in
limitless amounts.
• Speed and convenience. There is no production
waiting period as occurs when guests place orders
with servers.
