Direct answer

Agree an assisted or table-served option with the guest and caterer instead of making access depend on a standing buffet queue.

Identify a responsible server, suitable seating and how the guest's meal and any dietary requirements will be communicated. Ask what help is wanted rather than assuming every disabled or older guest needs the same arrangement. Record it in the service plan before the event. Assistance should offer comparable choice and dignity, not leave someone waiting until the buffet has nearly finished.
