Menu design: In recent years, we have made many useful explorations in the design of dishes to meet the requirements of cold dinners. For example. Menu design should first adhere to the integrity, under the premise of serving the theme, fully consider the opinions of the host and guests and dining habits. At the same time, we must adhere to diversity, and each group of dishes should not be less than 51 kinds. We should give consideration to both Chinese and western styles in categories, techniques in cooking, and "sea, land and air" in materials. Another example is. Menu design and countertop design should complement each other, the countertop is deep, the main course can be light in color, the countertop is shallow, and the main course can be more gorgeous, with cold and warm collocation and depth collocation. For another example, menu design should pay attention to the coordination of pre-made dishes, hot dishes in the kitchen and on-site operation of cold meals. Practice has proved that on-site operation can not only increase the eating atmosphere, but also benefit the quality of dishes, which is especially favored by foreign guests.

mesa design: the mesa of the buffet dinner is the part that occupies the most sight and reflects the atmosphere, and it is the big color block and layout of the buffet dinner. It is the main color of the banquet. Generally speaking, there are cool colors or warm colors. In the APEC buffet, we adopted the cold colors of blue and white, with a cool and elegant contrast. At the National Day reception, we adopted warm colors of yellow and red, and mixed in the basic colors of the national flag, which was full of festive and unconventional. Therefore, the basic requirements of countertop design should not only take into account the traditional customs of Chinese and foreign cultures, but also pursue the innovation and harmony of colors, reflecting the theme of the buffet and the host's hobbies. Theme and environment: The buffet dinner is different from the traditional Chinese banquet. It is a banquet way that focuses on theme, environment, atmosphere and character, and it is also a graded and relaxed exchange place. Therefore, different cold dinners should have different clear themes, and different cold dinners should be created or set in different environments. For example. Major holiday banquets, influential event banquets, Christmas, New Year's Day, Spring Festival celebrations, etc., which will follow in the near future, all have their unique connotations and extensions. Everyone has a different theme, which must be reflected in the theme and environment of the cold dinner party, with both individuality and individuality.
