neutral  sylvie malich (X): not so sure about this. Free flow catering has exactly 8 hits on google that are translated from German, one Italian and 1 that doesn't correspond to the asker's context. That's why I hate Denglish. /C:

self-service


Explanation:
I don't think you can keep the term "free-flow" in English, as the term is mainly used in traffic reports. For me, "self-service" means that you go up to the pizza counter, order the kind of pizza you want and then move down the queue to where you can pick up the slice of pizza and/or cash register.
