Creative Buffet Layouts and Designs
How do you want your guests to travel around your buffet table? Will a clockwise direction affect the movement of patrons in other sections? A table with a single path works well depending on the space you have and the number of guests you are entertaining. Smaller spaces and fewer guests are ideal for this setup. On the other hand, if you have quite a number of guests attending, the single path might slow the flow of traffic.

Separate traffic
If you have a large number of people coming to your event, consider separating the beverage table from the food setting. You don’t want people to get confused as to which line they are in or slow down the flow of movement around each table. For more buffet set up ideas check out Rosseto Pinterest
Buffet table design
A significant part of the dining experience is the presentation of food. In a buffet-style setup, this includes how you arrange your tables. Many people in the service industry use simple creative buffet layouts and designs like the double-sided layout. You’ll need four serpentine tables and two eight-foot tables. The four serpentine tables will create two semicircle forms and the other two tables will serve to separate the semicircles, leaving a the center of the buffet setup empty. There are many designs to choose from, so pick one that best serves your needs.
