Whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner, a buffet goes down well with guests because they have a choice of several dishes or appetizers and don't have to settle on one flavor. Cold roasts on slate platters, steaming minestrone in cafing dishes or colorful petits fours on displays - buffets impressively present what your kitchen can do. With VEGA buffet systems you also create a uniform style to round off the buffet enjoyment visually as well. Did you know? The term "buffet" originally comes from French, as the French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, who ruled in the 18th century, did not think much of formal welcomes. So he introduced the dining form of buffet.

Which products you need basically depends on the type of buffet. We have compiled an overview for you, which you need for the classic - a breakfast buffet:
Depending on the number of guests and dishes, the possible buffet structure varies. In addition, the space available in your restaurant for the buffet plays a role. A long table is suitable for a maximum of 120 people. If you have more guests, it is best to set up several buffets on which the same dishes are presented. Make sure that the different dishes are not too crowded on the tables. One more table will visually equalize your buffet and the multitude of buffet systems, platters and vessels will appear more clearly arranged and tidy. The classic buffet set up is based on the order of the dishes: Provide plates, cutlery and napkins at the beginning of the buffet line. Then follow salads, appetizers and soups. Next, place the main dishes. Finally, the desserts follow.
