Nowadays, the international community, regardless of country size, ethnic differences and beliefs, pursues one thing in common, that is, national civilization. Therefore, paying attention to etiquette is a symbol of a country's civilization and progress, and it is a weight to measure a person's cultivation and moral standards. As a window to show social civilization, every restaurant waiter should consciously pay attention to etiquette, be strict with himself and constantly improve his civilized service level.

China has a history of 5,000 years of civilization and is known as a country of etiquette. Politeness is a fine tradition of the Chinese nation.

China is also a socialist country. It is an important feature of socialist society to build socialist spiritual civilization with China characteristics and inherit and carry forward the essence of national civilization.

The goal of socialist spiritual civilization construction is to cultivate new socialist people with ideals, morality, culture and discipline, and improve the ideological and moral quality and scientific and cultural quality of the whole nation. The construction of socialist morality is to grasp the construction of social morality and professional ethics. The main contents of socialist professional ethics include: being loyal to one's duties, loving one's job, striving to improve professional skills, strictly observing professional discipline, improving work quality, and being honest and trustworthy.
