Etiquette of dinner, dinner and toast

1.

Generally speaking, what is the seating order? Respect the east? 、? Facing the gate? Out of respect. If it is a round table, the host and guests face the gate. In terms of the distance from the host and guest, the closer the host and guest are, the more respected they are. At the same distance, the left side is more respected than the right side. If it is the square table, the right position on the side of the gate is the host and guest; If it is not facing the gate, the right seat on the east side is the chief. If it is a big banquet, the arrangement between tables should be that the chief is in the front, with 2, 4 and 6 seats on the left and 3, 5 and 7 seats on the right. According to the identity, status and intimacy of the host and guest, they should sit separately.

The host should arrive early, and then wait by the door to show the guests their seats; The invitees are seated according to the host's arrangement.

Generally speaking, if your boss is present, you should lead the boss to the main seat, and then ask the customer to sit on the left side of the main seat, which is the highest level, unless the master's leadership level is very high this time.

Order food

If time permits, you should wait for most of the guests to arrive, distribute the menu to the guests and invite them to order. Of course, as a formal banquet, you need to worry about the budget. If you want to control the budget, you need to do more homework before cooking. It is important to choose the right place to entertain guests, so that guests can know your budget greatly. Generally speaking, you pay the bill, and the guests are not too embarrassed, so you are the host. If the boss is at a banquet, don't let him/her order because he/she respects him/her or thinks he/she is experienced in entertainment unless he/she asks for it. Otherwise he will feel that he is not decent enough.

If it's a dinner party, don't be too active when ordering, let the host order. If the other party asks in good faith, you can order a dish that is not too expensive, and everyone is not afraid. Remember to consult the people at the table. Is there anything you don't eat? Or? What do you like to eat? Let everyone feel taken care of.

When ordering, be sure to know fairly well and follow the following three rules:

First of all, look at the composition of personnel. Generally speaking, one dish per capita is a general rule. If it is a dinner with more men, the amount can be increased appropriately.

2. Look at the combination of dishes. Generally speaking, it is best to prepare a table of dishes well, mix hot and cold, and try to be comprehensive. If there are many men on the table, you can order more meat, and if there are many women, you can order more light vegetables.

3. Look at the importance of banquet. If it is an ordinary business banquet, ordinary dishes from 50 yuan to 80 yuan are acceptable. If the object of this banquet is a key person, order a few dishes with enough weight, such as lobster, swordfish, shad, then abalone, wing powder and so on.

Another thing to note is that when ordering, don't ask the waiter about the price of the food or bargain. This will make your company look petty in front of customers and customers will feel uncomfortable.

Can I ask for instructions after ordering? I ordered food. I don't know how many people are suitable. ,? Do you want something else? Wait a minute.

Eat vegetables

People in China are generally very particular about eating, and they are also very particular about eating. With more and more attention paid to workplace etiquette, eating at the business table is also more particular. Take Chinese food as an example to teach you how to be polite and elegant at the dinner table.

At the beginning of the Chinese banquet, the first wet towel sent by the waiter is to wipe your hands. Don't use it to wipe your face. When lobster, chicken and fruit are served, a small lemon with lemon slices or rose petals floating is not a drink, but is used to wash hands. When washing your hands, you can wet your fingers in turn, rinse them gently, and then dry them with a small towel.

After the guests are seated, don't start eating right away. The guests can't start until the host raises his glass to signal the start. Pay attention to manners when eating. Don't move chopsticks until the food is transferred to yourself when you are holding the food. Don't grab it in front of your neighbors. It's not advisable to pick too many dishes at once. Don't persuade foreign guests repeatedly, but introduce the characteristics of Chinese food to each other. It's up to him to decide whether to eat or not. By analogy, when attending a banquet hosted by foreign guests, don't expect the host to give you food repeatedly. If you wait for others to help you, you can only starve.

Chewing slowly after picking vegetables is not only conducive to digestion, but also a etiquette requirement at the table. If a large piece is stuffed into your mouth and wolfed down, it will give the impression of greed. Don't be picky about food when eating, or just stare at your favorite food, or pile your favorite dishes on the plate in a hurry. The action of eating should be elegant. Don't touch your neighbor while eating. Don't put the plate on the table. Don't spill the soup Don't spit bones and fishbones in your mouth on the table. Cover your mouth with a napkin, take it out with chopsticks and put it on a plate. Don't eat the food on the table. Don't play with bowls and chopsticks when eating, and don't take others directly with chopsticks. When picking teeth with a toothpick, cover your mouth with your hand or napkin. Don't let the tableware make any noise or make unnecessary noise, such as when eating soup? Gollum? Eat vegetables in your mouth? Boom boom. , are vulgar.

After eating, you can wipe your mouth with napkins, napkins or small towels sent by the waiter, but it is not advisable to wipe your head, neck or chest; Don't burp or burp uncontrollably after meals; The guests can't leave the table until the host signals the end.
