Nueva moda / Próximo boom / Lo último


Explanation:
Depending on the full.context, the natural full transcreation can be one of many:

'El auto-servicio/que los clientes se sirvan/buffets es el próximo boom en la industria alimenticia"

"El auto-servicio/que los clientes se sirvan/buffets se ha puesto de moda en la ciudad"

So on and so forth.
