tray service
Room meal delivery
Tray service is meal delivery where food arrives on individual trays rather than being served from a central location.
The term appears most often in hospitals, where patients receive meals in their rooms, and in airlines, where flight attendants distribute pre-arranged trays to passengers: The hospital switched from cafeteria-style to tray service.
Room service at hotels operates similarly.
