Restaurant Buffet
Around
since the Middle Ages, the buffet dining concept has stood the test of time and
continues to be a popular choice for many restaurant customers. By definition,
a buffet is a meal where guests serve themselves from a variety of dishes set
out on a table or sideboard. Restaurant buffets are one type of restaurant
concept that includes self-service and catering services. If you are opening a
new restaurant, you can offer a buffet for special occasions or as a restaurant
promotion.
Like
food trucks, another growing trend in the hospitality industry are pop up
restaurants. According to the National Restaurant Associations What’s Hot
survey, one of the biggest trends for 2012 are pop up restaurants. While
popular now, pop-up restaurants are not a new concept. They originated as super
clubs in the 1960s and 1970s. Today’s pop up restaurants has many different

prepared. Panera Bread is a good example of fast casual.

also known as a guestaurant,
which is a hybrid between being a guest in a dinner party and a restaurant.
