The modern etiquette for serving the culinary service has changed over a period of time. In the past, dining out was restricted only for special occasions or ceremonies. Home cooked food was preferred mostly which was rich in nutrients namely proteins, carbs, fats and calories. The people back then knew no concept of dieting or calorie control. Today, the generation is more inclined towards maintaining fitness and are more conscious about the food they eat, how much calories they intake and adapting new dieting regime.
On the contrary people still enjoy eating outside food and if they are offered a variety for their varied preferences then, for them it will be like icing on the cake.
Many service providers offer a lot of options for health-conscious customers, which is best termed as customized dietary food. This service is offered by only those caterers, who upgrade themselves with the latest trends.
