Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Counter service involves preparing and serving food directly to customers from a fixed location, such as a food counter or buffet. This allows for better control of food temperatures, as the food is not being transported or delivered, and can be served immediately after cooking or heating. Room service and delivery may involve transporting food over longer distances and times, which can increase the risk of foodborne illness due to temperature abuse. Tray service can also present challenges in maintaining appropriate temperatures, as trays may sit in holding areas or be transported over longer distances before being served.
