Disdvantages
Food Wastage
Difficulty in Managing a Buffet Arrangement
In spite of the unique combination of multi-variety food and ambiance,
diners may prefer table service over buffet service. A busy day in a buffet
restaurant may attract chaos around the buffet line and result in
mismanagement
Buffets also require larger quantities of food since people tend to eat more
when they serve themselves, which will add to your food costs.
Unsupervised guests can ruin the presentation format, pick the favourite
dishes which then run out and also make a mess
