First, the etiquette details at the dinner table
1. Generally speaking, the seating order is "Zuo Zun Dong" and "Zun Men". If it is a round table, the host and guests face the gate. In terms of the distance from the host and guest, the closer the host and guest are, the more respected they are. At the same distance, the left side is more respected than the right side. If it is a square table, if there is a seat facing the gate, the seat on the right side of the gate is the host and guest. If it is not facing the gate, the right seat on the east side is the chief. If it is a big banquet, the arrangement between tables should pay attention to the chief, with 2, 4 and 6 seats on the left and 3, 5 and 7 seats on the right. According to the identity and status of the host and guests, relatives and friends should sit separately.
Step 2 order food. If time permits, you should wait until most of the guests arrive, distribute the menu to the guests and invite them to order. Of course, as a business banquet, you will worry about the budget. Therefore, it is most important to control the budget and do more homework before you cook. More importantly, choose a suitable place for your guests, so that they can have a great understanding of your budget. In addition, generally speaking, you pay the bill, the guests are not too embarrassed, and you are the host. If your boss is at the party, don't let him/her order because he/she respects him/her or thinks he/she has rich social experience and eats too much unless he/she asks for it. Otherwise he will feel that he is not decent enough.
If you are a frequent party guest, you should know that you should not take the initiative to order food, but let the host order food. If the other party asks in good faith, you can order a dish that is not too expensive or taboo. Remember to ask the people at the same table, especially "Is there anything not to eat?" Or "What do you prefer to eat?" Let everyone feel taken care of. After ordering, you can ask "I ordered, I don't know if it suits several people's tastes", "Would you like something else" and so on.
4. Eating food, China people are generally very particular about eating, and they are also very particular about eating. With more and more attention paid to workplace etiquette, eating at the business table is also more particular. Take Chinese food as an example to teach you how to be polite and elegant at the dinner table. At the beginning of the Chinese banquet, the first wet towel sent by the waiter is to wipe your hands. Don't use it to wipe your face. When lobster, chicken and fruit are served, a small lemon with lemon slices or rose petals floating is not a drink, but is used to wash hands. When washing your hands, you can wet your fingers in turn, rinse them gently, and then dry them with a small towel. Pay attention to manners when eating.
2. Etiquette taboos at the dinner table
1. Don't pick your teeth at the dining table, it will affect your deskmate's appetite.
2. Use chopsticks. Don't put chopsticks straight in the middle of the meal, which means it's bad; Don't cross other people's chopsticks to get food; Don't use chopsticks to pull into the bowl just because you want to find your favorite dish; Don't pick your teeth with chopsticks.
No matter how delicious the food is, remember not to bury your head in hard work, and say a few funny and rude words to people around you at the right time to adjust the atmosphere.
4. Don't burp or make other rude noises when eating.
If the party is not over yet, but you have finished your meal, you don't have to leave at will, waiting for the host or guests to leave.
6. Remember that "chickens don't offer their heads, ducks don't offer their palms, and fish don't offer their ridges".
7. China is a multi-ethnic country, and many ethnic groups have their own dietary taboos. We should pay special attention to this point, and we can't ignore it at all. Respect for others can also win respect for yourself.
8.toast. Many people can respect a person, but a person can't respect many people unless you are a leader.
