A server wheels a cart to a guest's table and proceeds to prepare a salad. what type of service is this?

Table service Russian service French service Buffet service

Correct Answer:

French service

Explanation:

Tableside finishing with a small cart is a hallmark of French service. When a server wheels a gueridon (cart) to the table and completes the dish there—such as tossing or dressing a salad—it shows the table-side preparation characteristic of this style. Russian service would involve presenting pre-portioned platters and serving from those at the table, not finishing the dish on a cart. Buffet service is self-serve from a station, not prepared at the guest’s table. So the scenario best fits French service.
