1. Pre-meal performance
refers to the behavior when preparing and waiting for a meal. Undoubtedly, it is one of the organic components of dining performance. In order to make the pre-meal performance conform to the etiquette norms, we need to pay attention to the following issues:
2. Moderate grooming
When going out for dinner, especially when going out for dinner or gathering, we should make moderate personal grooming. The general requirements are: neatness, elegance and individuality. Generally speaking, men can wear suits and shave. Ladies should wear fashion or cheongsam and make up lightly. If you don't add any decoration, even if you look unclean and dress inappropriately, you will be regarded as disrespecting your host and not paying attention to the performance of this dinner or banquet.
3. Be on time
Be sure to arrive at the scene on time when you are invited to dinner or have a dinner party. Strictly speaking, it is impolite to arrive too early or too late. If you arrive early, the host is often unprepared and thus caught off guard; If you arrive late, it will make others eager to see, and even disrupt the whole original plan. In addition, if there is no special reason, do not leave early.
4. Take your places
In more formal dining activities, be sure to take your seats according to the designated tables and places. If there is no clear arrangement, you should also follow the host's arrangement or be humble with others. Don't rush, don't keep your seat. Generally speaking, when seated, you should sit behind the host and guest, or sit with everyone. It is obviously inappropriate to take a seat before others.
5, serious communication
The main purpose of a banquet or dinner is to communicate with people, not just to eat. So before and after eating, especially when waiting before eating, don't forget to carry out appropriate communication activities as much as possible. Greet the host, get in touch with old friends, and try to make some new friends. If you don't say a word and seem out of place with others, it will inevitably give people the impression of "coming for eating and drinking".
6. Listen to the speeches
Before the formal banquet begins, the host and the guest of honor usually make special speeches successively. When the host and guest make a speech, be sure to listen and concentrate. It is impolite to eat, close your eyes, talk to people or have a fight at this moment. If you leave at this moment, it will be even more suspicious.
