In United States of America Family Service food is arranged on a platter, or on serving dishes, with attending serving implements, and passed around in counter-clockwise order. This service can be offered open meal with the same items offered throughout. It may be offered timed-meal where each course is brought to the table and exchanged with the prior course as the meal progresses. And attending sauce can be placed on the table as required.

A person can hold the platter or dish, for the next person to be offered the item that then takes a portion to his or her plate, and places the implements back on the platter or dish. This person can then hold the dish for the next guest to be offered the item. When refusing a serving of an item, a guest is to take a dish that was passed, omit taking any of it, and pass it, letting the serving process continue.

Each beverage can be offered by being placed in a pitcher, and having it passed counter clockwise to allow each person to pour a desired amount of it into his or her glass.

Plates are to be removed, by being passed with eating implements to the hostess, or to someone designated to collect them. The plates can then be placed on the bottom self of a credenza or roll-in cart. The plates for the last course are to be left in place until after everyone has left the table.
