Cafeteria
, India, December 2003. A cafeteria, sometimes called a canteen outside North America, is a type of food service location in which there is no waiting staff table service. Cafeterias are different from coffeehouses, although the English term came from the Spanish term cafetería, which carries the same meaning. Instead of table service, there are food-serving counters/stalls, or booths, either in a line or allowing free movement. Customers take the food that they desire as they walk along, placing it on a tray. In addition, there are often stations where customers order food, particularly items such as hamburgers or tacos. Customers are either charged a flat rate for admission (as in a buffet) or pay at check-out for each item. Some self-service cafeterias charge by the weight of items on a customer's plate. In universities and colleges, some students pay by making a single large payment for the entire academic term.
