the selection can be modest or very extensive, with the more elaborate menus divided into categories. 

Types of food served: salad, Soup, Appetizer, Hot entrees, Cold Entrees, Dessert, Fruit. 

 Advanatges 

 It can serve a large number of customers and can reap a large turnover because the tariff is quite higher when compared with traditional restaurants. Buffet restaurant actually implements the cross strategy, because not everyone wants or can eat as much as possible. Thus, customers who eat less, basically subsidize customers who eat a lot, because the price paid by everyone is the same tariff. One other advantage of a buffet restaurant is that the cooks do not need to cook every new order comes in. Instead, they only need to cook several times a day when certain foods which are served in the restaurant have run out.

Disadvantages

The lack of a buffet restaurant is that the owner has to provide large meals and will lose if it turns out that there are not many buyers coming. To overcome this problem, usually, the restaurant holds a happy hour after 8 pm when the customer gets 50% off the normal price. There are even buffets that allow customers to bring home food for free so that the food served can run out quickly. To minimize the losses, some restaurants provide a system of fines to customers if the food that has been taken is not eaten completely. This is to encourage customers not to take excessively if they are not able to spend the food.
