Apart from having these stations, there are some general ways on how the tables on which the food are to be kept are arranged. The first thing should be a stack of plates, cutlery and napkins too. The next comes, the buns and butter, the salads, pickles, cold meats, hot vegetables or entrees with the hot meat main course as the very last item. Desserts, tea and coffee come at the very last and a separate table can be assigned for that.
Several long tables strung out in a row are advisable as people standing on both sides can have access to it.
