to offering different types of dishes, food, with an specialty specific like Mediterranean Food, Asiatic Food, Mexican Food, etc.

The restaurant offer a service of quality to customers, for satisfaction of both.

a lunchroom or dining hall, as in a factory, office, or school, where food is served from counters or dispensed from vending machines or where food brought from home may be eaten.

TYPE OF FOOD SERVED

In addition, there are often stations where customers order food and wait while it is prepared, particularly for items such as hamburgers or tacos which must be served hot and can be quickly prepared.

For some food items and drinks, such as sodas, water, or the like, customers collect an empty container, pay at the check-out, and fill the container after the check-out.

PATRON TREATMENT Instead of table service, there are food-serving

counters/stalls, either in a line or allowing arbitrary walking paths. Customers take the food they require as they walk along, placing it on a tray.
