Abstract
A movable table for serving out food has an operating position for serving out food, and a transportation position for moving of the table. The movable table comprises at least two modules, each module comprising an automated transferring device, e.g. at least one conveyor belt, for transferring food receptacles from one end of the table to an opposite end thereof. The upper side of the transferring device in operating position forms a working surface of the table. The table is furthermore adapted for fixing a support above the table surface. Each module may be provided with a transferring mechanism for transferring food receptacles on the automated transferring device of that module when the table is in the operating position. The transferring mechanism of a module operatively connects as the table is into the operating position and operatively disengages when the table is brought into the transportation position.
