Many customers might like something like that if they don't want to wait for someone to come say hello, bring a glass of water, take an order, and show up some time later with the food. If all the customer wants is to pick the food dishes off a shelf, pay at a checkout station, and grab a seat at a table somewhere, the cafeteria model might solve a problem.
I'd punch a kitten for a buffet or two in the area. I love me some variety!
