The Future of Buffets?

Have y'all thought about the possibility of buffet's going away either temporarily or forever with Covid? FH and I were discussing this the other day as restaurants are starting to re-open in certain states. I've never been a fan of buffet's as I always found them unsanitary (even though I know the kitchen can be worse) however, we were wondering, since now everything is done so differently, if self-serve/buffet's in general will become a thing of the past. We are having a plated dinner reception so our catering team haven't made any mention of this to us but I'm curious if any Brides who had a buffet planned had heard any changes from their catering teams.

    Our buffet was a 'served' buffet, as most weddings are.

    I can see more spacing, gloves, masks, and other such measures, but I doubt they'll go away entirely.

    They'd actually seem safer to me than having a server coming in over my shoulder.

    I could totally see buffets disappearing from hotels & restaurants, at least for 1-2 years. Not sure if it’ll be cut from weddings but I could see more couples and guests preferring a plated meal to be on the safe side.

    Our caterer is still doing buffets, but the staff is serving the food from the buffet so guests are touching anything!
