I remember having been to restaurants here in Brazil where the food that is served as "all you can eat" is not exactly the same as the one you may order from a regular menu. Not far from my home there is a restaurant that serves 3 cuisines at different times of the day (italian and japanese for dinner, and an all-you-can-eat regional buffet for lunch; I'm sure but they may operate a cafe for breakfast). Place all the values in the cuisine tag and you won't be able to tell at which time each cuisine is offered. How do you express that the all-you-can-eat service is offered only for the regional cuisine? Answer: you need 2 objects (nodes or areas) for that.
But anyway, I'm with Martin, it's best to use :service_times to avoid confusion with the regular opening_hours tag. The place is usually open (offering its regular service) for a longer period than that in which it offers an all you can eat service.
