How it's used
Beyond restaurants, this term is frequently used in telecommunications and marketing to describe bundled services or products. It implies a fixed price for a group of items that would cost more if purchased individually. When ordering in a casual eatery, it is common to simply say 我要個餐 to refer to a set meal.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the English word set, as it specifically refers to a pre-arranged combination of food or services rather than a general collection of items.
