AYCE
Buffet pricing model
AYCE is an acronym for "all you can eat," describing a style of restaurant pricing where customers pay a fixed amount and may consume unlimited quantities of food.
It appears most often in casual dining contexts, especially buffets and certain Asian restaurants offering sushi or Korean barbecue.
The AYCE sushi place downtown is packed every weekend.
