+1 for pricing_scheme, +1 against the :opening_hours subtag What nounours77 proposes is simpler, easier to map, easier to understand and easier to consume in applications.
I also suggest another tag: serving_system=buffet/smorgasbord/a_la_carte/table_d_hote (read up that Wikipedia link I've sent previously) In extreme cases (e.g. two services with completely different characteristics - different serving systems, pricing schemes and cuisines - offered at the same time of the day), if you're really picky, the best you can do is replicate the mapping of the same restaurant for each kind of service it offers, each instance with its own tags. (However, the usual recommendation is to choose the "primary" values for each tag.) I think it's absolutely ok to abbreviate all-you-can-eat by ayce, even though this is more common in tag names (such as hgv, psv, addr, hov and ele) than in tag values in OSM. Casual editors (using iD or Potlatch) would rarely use the tag directly (they can easily get a friendly named preset or option box, as they do for many tags today) and advanced users should read the wiki at least once anyway, even for tags that look deceptively obvious when ignoring the OSM context (e.g. highway=track, understood differently in many places mainly due to inexact translation).
