At present there are 4 main areas regarding food/drink services.
V.I.P, business, economy travel and of coarse the level of service you provide (Brilliant idea).
Each of these can also be customised to your standards. If you are a high quality airline you could
charge more and the passengers will be happy to pay the prices).
I was very interested in this feature from the first time I saw it and it's a topic that has not been
mentioned a lot in the forums. The settings for food/drink/service is very simple to use but you
must think carefully about your prices (This is something I love doing). To get the most money out of your
passenger while not making them angry is the key here. And I like to constatly tune my service and
sales prices to squeeze every dollar out my passengers.

I think Dan could answer your question regarding virtual caterers.

Elements of Rollercoaster Tycoon could creep in here! Put lots of salt on the fries and make the customers thirsty so they buy your
watered down soda. My last experience of airline food was fairly awful on a transatlantic flight (American) and catering on internal US
flights seemed non existent - a sandwich handed to you at the gate and a coffee on the plane, no hot meal.

On a slightly different tack, how about disorderly passengers? Not unknown on UK "chav" holiday charter flights to places like Ibiza and
Tenerife!

There are a lot of rules concerning airline food these days, including nutritional guidlines, alergy concerns, etc. Hospital food is also similarly
regulated. Very little salt or sugar is put in the food (if any), usually no peanut content (notice how most airlines give gold fish crackers or
pretzels now instead of peanuts), certain types of cooking methods are adhered to, meat products have guidlines out the wazoo, etc... There's not a
lot of liberty that can be taken on the food, and that's why it usually ends up tasting pretty bland and flavorless.

waht happend if you keep feeding the passangers and giving the drinks? will thay get sick or will they say stop feeding me??

If some passengers get drunk because you served too many drinks, other passengers won't be satisfied of such situation and flight
attendant may complain about personal problems with a few drunk passengers.
