PRODUCT DEFINITION

A cafeteria is a hospitality establishment where snacks and meals are served,


generally mixed dishes, but not menus or cards. A cafeteria shares some
characteristics with a bar and others with a restaurant. It is mainly characterized
by serving at the bar, and the possibilities of consuming food are basic. The
service is fast, express .

In some countries, a restaurant is called a cafeteria where waiter service is not


offered, and where customers use a tray to go to a menu bar and choose their
dishes, and then go through the cashier to pay, mainly in centers. commercial,
work and schools.

The first coffee shops began to open in Istanbul in the year 1550 , and from
that moment on their number rapidly grew. These establishments were meeting
points for Turks , who met to discuss men's issues and thus be able to escape
from everyday life. Although the sultans tried on many occasions to ban coffee
shops, they were unable to obtain positive results, since this would have
harmed the high tax they obtained from the coffee trade in Europe and the
territories of the Ottoman Empire.

Soon the custom of coffee shops spread throughout the Balkan territories of the
Ottoman Empire.

One of the first European coffee shops established on the basis of the Turkish
ones was known as La Bottega del Caffé, in Venice in the year 1624.

In 1692 the first coffee house was opened in the city of London. Then the same
thing happened in Berlin, Vienna and Budapest. Cafes became meeting places
for philosophers and intellectuals, where ideas were discussed and exchanged.

A cafeteria generally does not offer alcoholic beverages. It focuses specifically


on coffee, tea or milk chocolate. Other options can vary between bread, broth,
sandwiches, and desserts that complement your trade.
