A serving tray is a flat, often rectangular or circular, surface used for carrying and presenting food and drinks. Serving trays come in various materials such as wood, metal, plastic, or even glass, and they can range in size from small individual trays to large platters designed for serving multiple guests. They are commonly used in homes, restaurants, hotels, and catering events to transport and display appetizers, beverages, desserts, or main dishes. Serving trays may have handles for easy carrying, and they can be decorative or simple, depending on the occasion and personal preference.
