In the workplace, we often come across meals, such as company dinners, leaders banquet customers, etc., this time there will be meals, so every workplace, should learn some table manners, so as not to make jokes at the table.

01. About the seat

The seat facing the door is the right place, if there is no seat facing the door. If there is no seat facing the door, then the two seats to the left and right of the door are the most honorable seats. China advocates "honoring the left and honoring the east". That is to say, in the case of the same distance next to the most honorable seat, the left side will be more honorable.

By following this order, we know where we should sit.

02. About ordering

When there is plenty of time, always let the guest order. If the guests are particularly modest, we must ask each other's eating habits, not according to their own taste ordering, ordering should not order too many expensive dishes, that will appear to be more pompous, and of course, can not order all the usual dishes, that will appear to be very casual.

And when ordering, don't let the leader to order, then the leader will be more embarrassed. You can ask the leader about the price of the dishes beforehand and estimate the approximate budget.

03. About Eating Food

Most of us in China are quite enthusiastic about eating food, especially at family gatherings, and we often give each other food to show our enthusiasm. But in the workplace, especially with foreign guests, never go to others to clip food, that will make others feel unhygienic. And sometimes you pinch the other people do not like to eat the dishes, others will also be very embarrassed.

When eating, you should also pay attention to your own image, do not eat with a big mouth, do not make noise when eating, that will make others feel that we are more savage, not polite enough.

04. About Drinking

First, you have to wait for the leader to finish the toast before you can toast yourself, and you have to raise your glass with both hands when you toast;

Secondly, if you are the one who is toasting yourself, then you mustn't drink less than the one who is being toasted, and that will seem disrespectful to the other party.

Third, the toast should not be made by one person to a bunch of people at once, unless you are the leader. Otherwise, toast one-on-one.

Fourth, at the table, do not arbitrarily give the leader to block the wine, unless the leader has instructions, otherwise it is possible to make a mistake. Remember, the table is not a place for bravado.

Fifth, in case of a shortage of alcohol, then put the bottle of wine in the middle of the table, so that those who need to fill their own wine, so as not to look embarrassed when the lack of alcohol.

05. About leaving the table

After a full meal, you have to leave the table, and when you leave the table, if you are the inviting party, then you must send the guests out of the door one by one. Guests are not allowed to leave without authorization until they are finished. If you are the one who is invited and have to leave suddenly, don't say goodbye to all the people at the table. You should go straight to the host and just tell him so as not to disturb the other guests from eating. When the host sends you away, do not pull the host at the door to chat, because the host has many other guests to take care of.

To summarize, the whole process of the dinner table reflects a person's quality. If you want to make each other have a more comfortable eating environment, then first of all, we must arrange the seat reasonably; then according to the guests' eating habits, ordering; eat food do not arbitrarily give other people clip food; drinking should always pay attention to the amount of alcohol, and everyone at the table on the amount of wine demand; leave the time to be courteous and polite, to altruistic point of view to do.
