For me a restaurant is an establishment that serves prepared food, dedicated to offering different types of food and specialities to customers.

The restaurants always offer a service of quality to customers, for satisfaction of both.

Cafeteria

The patron waits for those items to be prepared or is given a number and they are brought to the table.

lunchroom or dining hall is where food is served from counters or dispensed from vending machines.

 There are often stations where customers order food and wait while it is prepared, it can be hamburgers, sandwich's, tacos, salads, hot cakes, quesadillas, etc.

The drinks can be sodas, coffees, teas, ice creams, water, etc… customers should collect an empty container, pay at the check-out, and fill the container after the check-out.
