cafeteria
A cafeteria is a self-service restaurant frequented
by both tourist and resident populations. There
are two main types. The `in-line' cafeteria consists
of a single counter along which customers pass to

the `scramble system' or `hollow square', has
several counters each serving different meal items
such as hot foods, sandwiches, salads, desserts and
beverages.

to which the user returns periodically as a base for
recreational activities. In other areas, such temporary
