In fact, banquets and banquets are closely related, but there are some differences, which are shown in the following aspects:

1. The number and scale of diners are different

In China, it is customary to arrange 8 seats on the square table top of traditional banquets, with 11-12 seats on the round table top, which is mainly in the form of a table with 11 people, which means perfect and round, with a "table".

2. Different operation links

Generally, the launch of a banquet in the catering market must go through three links: menu design, dish making and reception service. The banquet is large in scale and complicated in operation. Besides menu design, dish making and reception service, it also includes banquet scene design, environmental layout, table layout, table design, banquet program design, etiquette design, entertainment planning and so on.

3. Seating arrangement and different scenes

Banquets pay special attention to seating arrangement, because different seats represent different identities of diners, namely, the host, the attendant, the host and sometimes the seniority or position of the guests. Banquet emphasizes highlighting the main table or the main guest seating area. The seating arrangement of the main table is the same as that of the banquet, and other tables only need to determine the host position and the diners. Banquet guests sit around a table, the atmosphere is warm, the scene is small, the banquet dining forms are diverse, such as buffet, cocktail party, etc., the ceremony is solemn, the scene is grand, and the general specifications are higher than the banquet.

4. Different types of banquets

There are many kinds of banquets in China, and the classification basis is different.
