1. Ladies first: In western food etiquette, ladies are respected everywhere. When arranging the dining table, the hostess should be invited to sit at the main table, while the male host should take a back seat.
2. Respect for the right: when ranking, respect for the right is still the basic principle. As far as a specific location is concerned, its right position is higher than its left position. For example, the male guest of honor should be arranged to sit on the right side of the hostess, and the female guest should be arranged to sit on the right side of the male host.
3. Respect the guest and the host: In western food etiquette, the guest and the host are highly respected. Even if some of the guests are higher than the host in status, identity and age, the host and guest are still the center of the host's attention. When arranging seats, the male and female guests should be seated next to the hostess and the male host respectively, so as to receive more care.
4. Face-to-face: Face-to-face is sometimes called face-to-face, which means that the seat facing the main entrance of the restaurant is usually higher than the seat facing away from the main entrance of the restaurant in the ranking sequence.
5. Cross arrangement: When having Chinese food, diners may often sit with acquaintances, especially their lovers and spouses. But when western food is used, this situation no longer exists. Formal western-style banquets have always been regarded as communication occasions, so when ranking, men and women should cross, and strangers and acquaintances should also cross. Therefore, the opposite and both sides of a diner are often of the opposite sex, and may be unfamiliar or unknown. The biggest advantage of this is that you can make new friends. At the same time, it is also required that the number of people attending the dinner party should be even, and the number of men and women should be half.
6. Distance positioning: Generally speaking, the ranking of western food tables is similar to that of Chinese food, and it is often closely related to its distance from the theme. Under normal circumstances, the seats close to the theme are higher than those far from the theme.
