Third is English service, food on platters of in bowls is placed on the table and guests help themselves. Fourth is French service (also called cart or tableside service), items are prepared tableside from a cart or gueridon. Fifth is Buffet service, hot and cold foods are attractively displayed, and guest walk up and help themselves. Sixth is Preset service, the first course is set on the table before guests sit down.

Host bar are a common feature in the night-time entertainment industry. And host bars are similar establishments where primarily male staff cater to females. The host issues vouchers to attendees for a limited number of free drinks, and attendees pay for any further drinks themselves in host bar.
In cash bar the host pays for all drinks, either by the hour, by the bottle, by the drink, or per person.
