PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Challenges amid economic uncertainty and changing consumer lifestyles
The cost-of-living crisis in Norway poses significant challenges for consumer foodservice as a whole, but particularly for formats like cafeterias/buffets. As inflation strains household budgets, many consumers are reassessing their dining habits and seeking more affordable alternatives.
Delivery and takeaway growth through digital solutions
Self-service cafeterias in Norway are increasingly embracing digital technologies to improve the customer experience. This trend includes the adoption of delivery services through applications such as Foodora and Wolt, enabling customers to conveniently order food online for home/workplace delivery.
Sustainability initiatives to gain importance
Self-service cafeterias that incorporate sustainable practices, such as sourcing local ingredients or minimising food waste, are becoming more popular. Norwegian consumers are increasingly valuing sustainability in their dining choices, driving interest in buffet-style dining, which emphasises these principles.

Self-Service Cafeterias
Self-service cafeterias are outlets where there is no (or limited) service content. Rather than table service, there are food-serving counters/stalls where customers take the food they require as they walk along, placing it on a tray. In addition, there are often stations where customers order food and wait while it is prepared, particularly for items such as hamburgers or tacos which must be served hot and can be prepared quickly. For some food and drink items, customers collect an empty container, pay at the check-out, and fill the container after check-out. Free second servings are often allowed under this system. For legal purposes (and the consumption patterns of customers), this system is rarely or never used for alcoholic beverages. Self-service cafeterias do not have a cover charge, customers are either charged a flat rate for admission (as in a buffet) or pay at the check-out for each item. Some cafeterias also charge by weight. Self-service cafeterias resemble contract catering self-service cafeterias such as canteens, dining halls and cafeterias located within institutions such as a large office building, school and universities. However, fully captive contract self-service cafeterias are excluded from consumer foodservice. Unlike fast food, self-service cafeterias feature a menu comprising full, regular meals, often with a large choice of first course, main course and desserts. As cafeterias can effectively serve large number of customers with comparatively few employees, they are often found within larger complexes, for example, department stores, shopping malls, travel foodservice (motorways stations, railway stations, airports). Self-service cafeteria examples include: Ciao (Autogrill), Flunch (Agapes Restauration SA), IKEA (Inter Ikea Systems BV)
