Catering is a common social activity. China is rich in catering culture, and China people are hospitable and pay attention to catering etiquette. So how to socialize in the dinner in the workplace? The following is the etiquette of workplace dinner I have compiled for you, hoping to help you!
social etiquette of workplace dinners
1. Classification of workplace dinners
1. The purpose of internal dinners is generally to change a relaxed environment to communicate team feelings
When leaders want everyone to participate, you should not only participate, but also behave happily and harmoniously.
can you not attend? If everyone needs to participate, but you are a maverick, what is good for yourself? Borrowing a song from Mayday, "I asked you not to come, but you are not high when you come!" " If you can't blend in, if the mass base is not good, there will be obstacles to promotion. Don't eat human fireworks, the evaluation given by the leader can only be: unsociable.
on the contrary, what about doing well at the dinner table? If you order food quickly and well, with witty remarks, thoughtful toasts, can drink without being polite, and have a good character after drinking, the leader will give you an evaluation: talent, you will attend my dinner next time.
do you need people with this ability in the workplace? Yes, very much. This is also a business skill.
2. There is also an internal dinner, in which only the red people around the leaders can participate.
Participation means that the leaders regard you as one of their own, and without participation, they are not qualified.
3. The purpose of dining out with foreign guests is to draw closer relations and achieve cooperation.
If you are not a "red man" in front of the leaders, or a technical backbone related to the project, or a table expert with "special skills", you will not have the opportunity to organize and participate in dining out with foreign guests.
of course, it's not your turn to get a promotion and a raise. This is a human society. At ordinary times, we are all serious and nervous in the office, doing our own things. Dinner is nothing more than creating an atmosphere that is less serious and easier to cheer up, and wine also plays this role.
how can I communicate with my leaders outside my business if I don't participate in the dinner?
Therefore, it is really necessary for newcomers in the workplace to learn "how to arrange a workplace dinner completely".
2. Five links in arranging workplace dinners
1. Where to eat
For private gatherings with friends, "where to eat" has always been a difficult problem to solve!
"where to eat?"
"whatever!"
"Where are we going to eat?"
"er ... what do you think?"
you must be familiar with this kind of dialogue. If this scene takes place at a workplace dinner and is asked by the boss, then you can't answer "whatever"!
what should I do?
the answer is: prepare in advance.
When you have more than ten restaurants in your stomach, everything becomes easier.
Now the question comes: There are so many hotels in a city, how can we pick out the ten best alternatives?
if it were you, how would you prepare in advance?
1 the consumption grade of a meal is determined according to the importance of the customers to be received.
level 1: customers with the highest level, with a per capita income of 1,111 yuan.
level 2: important partner, 511 yuan per capita.
level 3: ordinary customers, with a per capita price of RMB 151.
2 according to the consumption level and customer characteristics of each level, select 2~4 hotels to choose from.
When entertaining high-level customers, we must pay attention to privacy, avoid the superficial luxury of the hotel, keep a low profile and have taste, and it would be better if there is a little affection.
So, there are two choices: one is a high-end private club, or a corporate canteen; One is a high-grade farmhouse private cuisine, which is far away from other people.
how to find it? Certainly can't rely on public comments! Are there any local friends and colleagues around you? Ask them for recommendation, it must be right.
Try asking the company's predecessors. If you continue the last top-level hotel, there is little chance of making mistakes. Pull your face down and ask your boss directly. After all, it is not up to you to receive this level of customers.
to entertain second-class customers and spend 511 yuan per capita, there are relatively more hotels to choose from. To entertain level 3 customers, you can choose a chain hotel for mass consumption and book a private room in advance.
is it difficult to do all this?
It's not difficult at all. You can get a clear picture of your city in a few weekends as long as you spend some time.
"The preparation work is ahead, and people will be impressed when necessary."
remember, if you still need your boss to think about the place for the dinner, basically, you don't have much room to accompany you to organize the bureau often, so you should always choose for your boss if you have goods in your stomach.
2. Guide seats
How to arrange attendance/attendance is it a test of the level of people in the workplace?
where does leader number one sit?
where does customer No.1 sit?
where does the No.2 leader sit?
where does customer No.2 sit?
the general principle of seating in a dinner party is: the front door is the top, the right side is high and the left side is low, the middle seat is respected, the landscape is good, and the wall is good.
3. Ordering food
How to order food is enough, delicious, considerate and tasteful? The workplace dinner is not a dish that you like, but a dish that leaders like or customers like. If you are new to the workplace, it is really difficult to master the trick of ordering food.
but I don't think it's the most important thing to order by yourself. Then what is the most important thing?
Budget
Number of people
Avoid eating
Why does it matter if you say you can't order?
1 generally good restaurants can arrange a menu manager for you.
There are not special menu managers, but also lobby managers of hotels. These people are very experienced in arranging meals of various grades every day.
2 Even if you don't know the ordering rules at all, you can tell the ordering manager about the number of people in your dinner table, your budget, and the quality you want this dinner to show.
For example, "I am entertaining experts from Beijing, and I don't eat spicy food. I hope this dinner will not only reflect the characteristics of local dishes, but also show that the host is willing to spend money, with fresh ingredients and two seafood dishes."
"We should think about the name and collocation of the dishes in this dinner, and wish the products a big sale and smooth cooperation."
3 You can arrive at the hotel half an hour in advance to communicate with the ordering manager.
tell him: the price is not a problem, wait for this meal well, and then order him here; If the order is not good, it will be nothing in the future.
4 when all the people attending the dinner party are present, you can ask the people present if they have any taboos, and adjust them according to the actual needs of everyone. When there is not enough food, you can add dishes.
In fact, the restaurant's ordering manager is more experienced than you. With this ordering method, the final result will not be brilliant, nor will you make a big mistake. You are the most worry-free.
4. Reserve some topic materials for dinner
To tell the truth, the means of invigorating the atmosphere in China are not very effective. If you want to earn face for the leader, but you can't expect it, how can you be the safest?
it's safest to be familiar with food and wine!
You can be familiar with the name and raw materials of each special dish, even the origin and efficacy. When important dishes are served, you can introduce to the most important person on the table what it is, what its characteristics are, what its origin is, and why you ordered it, so that the distinguished guest feels that it is specially ordered for him.
For example, which Chinese cuisine does kung pao chicken belong to?
a. Shandong cuisine
b. Beijing cuisine
c. Sichuan cuisine
d. Guangdong cuisine
e. Guizhou cuisine
and so on.
At this time, you can smile and tell the origin:
kung pao chicken was created by Ding Baozhen, governor of Sichuan in the Qing Dynasty. Ding Baozhen was originally from Guizhou, and he was a scholar during the Xianfeng period of Qing Dynasty. When he was working in Shandong, he ordered his chef to make "Fried Chicken with Sauce" and similar dishes, which were very appetizing, but it was not famous at that time.
after being transferred to the governor of Sichuan, he asked the chef to stir-fry diced chicken with peanuts, dried peppers and tender chicken every time he met a banquet guest. The meat was tender and delicious, and it was very popular with the guests. Later, due to his meritorious service in guarding the border and defending the enemy, he was named "Prince Shaobao" by the court, known as "Ding Gongbao", and the fried diced chicken cooked by his chef was also known as "kung pao chicken".
Therefore, the source of "kung pao chicken" is "Guizhou cuisine"; The chef of Sichuan cuisine improved it, and the fire was stir-fried, and the word "Bao" was changed to "Bao", which was for "Kung Pao Chicken"; Master Beijing changed the sweet and spicy taste into sweet and sour taste, and replaced the green bamboo shoots with green onions, in order to "explode diced chicken in Jingwei Palace".
is it difficult to achieve this level?
It's not difficult at all. You can go to Baidu or ask the chef for advice. As long as you want to drop your book bag, there must be a way to find out!
Being literate is more important than being able to order your own food. Basically, everyone present will think that you can eat and know the culture of dinner.
the advantage is that in the future, the leader will have his own important dinner and will probably invite you to accompany him.
5. Pay the bill and send the leaders and customers away
Pay the bill? It's very simple. When the dinner is coming to an end, I casually go out to check out.
but do you know who should pay the bill? It is inappropriate to rush to pay the bill for a workplace dinner. No one will miss your kindness, but it will embarrass the dinner organizer and confuse the subsequent reimbursement process.
So, the person who pays the bill should be the person who is responsible for organizing the dinner, booking the hotel and ordering food. Don't forget to invoice the company title! After buying the bill, I have almost eaten the rice and drank the wine. Is the work over?
at the end of the dinner, find out the number of leaders and customers present, and arrange for the leaders and customers to leave in advance.
The dinner is over, the leaders and guests are sent home, and the work is over? If you have been through such a big dinner fight, and have a clear head:
You can write a list of the work matters you talked about and achieved on the wine table, the commitments made by the customers and leaders attending the meeting, and send the email to the leaders that day.
note, the email is sent on the same day! It would be better to send an email around 12 pm.
