I think that depends on how you run the buffet. We always have servers control the portion sizes on the buffet at my old camp. I find having staff give portion out to the campers is the best way to control food waste. It also allows you to reuse food if staff are the only ones giving food out and allows you to stay in serve safe guidelines.
