A cafeteria in a [[United States armed forces|U.S. military]] installation is known as a '''chow hall''', a '''mess hall''', a '''galley''', a '''mess deck''', or, more formally, a '''dining facility''', often abbreviated to '''DF''', whereas in common [[British Armed Forces]] parlance, it is known as a '''[[cookhouse]]''' or '''[[mess]]'''. Students in the United States often refer to cafeterias as '''lunchrooms''', which also often serve [[School Breakfast Program|school breakfast]]. Some school cafeterias in the U.S. and Canada have stages and movable seating that allow use as auditoriums. These rooms are known as [[wiktionary:cafetoriums|cafetoriums]] or All Purpose Rooms. In some older facilities, a school's [[gym]]nasium is also often used as a cafeteria, with the kitchen facility being hidden behind a rolling partition outside non-meal hours. Newer rooms which also act as the school's grand entrance hall for crowd control and are used for multiple purposes are often called the [[Common room|commons]].

Cafeterias serving university dormitories are sometimes called ''dining halls'' or ''dining commons''. A [[food court]] is a type of cafeteria found in many [[shopping mall]]s and [[airport]]s featuring multiple food vendors or concessions. However, a food court could equally be styled as a type of [[restaurant]] as well, being more aligned with the public, rather than institutionalized, dining. Some institutions, especially schools, have food courts with stations offering different types of food served by the institution itself (self-operation) or a single contract management company, rather than leasing space to numerous businesses.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Beach|first1=George|last2=Duclett|first2=Jennifer|last3=Engelbrecht|first3=Kathie|date=August 2000|title=High school food courts: A new evolution in student dining|journal=School Planning & Management|volume=39|issue=8|pages=22|issn=1045-3970}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Stoiber|first=Tiffany|date=2017-08-23|title=New food court-style Waukesha South High School cafeteria will make lunch time quicker for students|url=https://www.jsonline.com/story/communities/waukesha/news/waukesha/2017/08/23/new-food-court-style-waukesha-south-high-school-cafeteria-make-lunch-time-quicker-students/589374001/|work=Journal Sentinel|location=[[Waukesha, Wisconsin]]|access-date=2017-11-23|publisher=[[USA Today]]}}</ref> Some [[monastery|monasteries]], [[boarding school]]s, and [[Ancient university|older universities]] refer to their cafeteria as a ''[[refectory]]''. Modern-day [[Seminary|seminaries]], [[Convent|convents]] and [[abbey]]s, notably in the [[Church of England]] and [[Catholic Church]], often use the phrase '''refectory''' to describe a cafeteria open to the public. Historically, the [[refectory]] was generally only used by monks and priests. For example, although the original 800-year-old refectory at [[Gloucester Cathedral]] (the stage setting for dining scenes in the [[Harry Potter]] movies) is now mostly used as a choir practice area, the relatively modern 300-year-old extension, now used as a cafeteria by staff and public alike, is today referred to as the refectory.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fcm.org.uk/Find_Cathedrals/England/Cathedrals/Gloucester.html |title=Gloucester Cathedral |publisher=Fcm.org.uk |access-date=2013-09-16 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080713060130/http://www.fcm.org.uk/Find_Cathedrals/England/Cathedrals/Gloucester.html |archive-date=2008-07-13 }}</ref>

A cafeteria located within a movie or TV studio complex is often called a [[commissary (store)|commissary]].
