After the confinement measures, imposed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/costa-verde.celsoalmeida.pt\/en\/covid-19-tourism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Covid-19<\/a> pandemic disease, the <strong>General Directorate for Health<\/strong> has disclosed a series of <strong>new rules<\/strong>, aimed the reopening of restaurants and hotels, including news about the <strong>self-service<\/strong> system.<\/p>\n<p>The deconfinement phase brought the need of discovering new solutions, aimed at getting business back-on-track, by promoting everyone&#8217;s well-being and safety. Under the new rules, the use of <strong>self-service systems<\/strong>, such as the<strong> buffet<\/strong>, very common in almost all hotels and some restaurants, is discouraged. It is now necessary to think about viable alternatives that allow the safe operation of these places.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Hotels without buffet. Now what?<\/h2>\n<p>The buffet dissemination, as we know it today, appeared in 1946, when Herb MacDonald decided to operationalize this way of serving, in Las Vegas Hotel. The system has undergone a long evolution to this day, regarding <a href=\"https:\/\/costa-verde.celsoalmeida.pt\/en\/porcelain-theatrical-presentation-food\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">presentation<\/a> and maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>The times we\u2019re go through advice against its use, across <strong>hotels and restaurants<\/strong>. However, the <strong>buffet system<\/strong> is still, for many hotel units, a good way to catch the eye of new customers. Therefore, it is important to rethink all options and find new solutions to face the new reality.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Costa Verde is innovation!<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/costa-verde.celsoalmeida.pt\/en\/costa-verde-certified-several-areas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Costa Verde<\/a> has been making, in the latest years, an effort in order to developing <a href=\"https:\/\/costa-verde.celsoalmeida.pt\/en\/products\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">porcelain pieces<\/a>, allowing hotels and restaurants to operate the buffet, by avoiding the traditional Chafing Dishes. Used to keep food warm, these utensils, besides being aesthetically unappealing, promote contact between people. The role of Costa Verde is precisely to bring a new life to the <strong>buffet system<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If, on the one hand, the brand presents incredible serving pieces and oven to table in the <a href=\"https:\/\/costa-verde.celsoalmeida.pt\/en\/products\/duo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Duo<\/a> collection, on the other hand, and aware of new concepts, it holds collections which allow a more personalized service, in a buffet system.<\/p>\n<p>Through the use of small pieces, aimed at presenting food in individual doses, Costa Verde can provide <strong>safe and hygienic solutions<\/strong>.
