First of all, don't agree in a muddle, but also confirm the details of the dinner with the leader. You can also ask the leader to answer your questions after careful consideration.
Note: Be sure to translate the adjectives in the task into numbers, facts or details. Only by knowing clearly can we get twice the result with half the effort.
Then when the leader assigned you to organize a dinner party, he said that he didn't want to bother with details, but he basically had a general understanding of the number of people, budget, restaurant style and so on.
For example, when a leader sends a job, he may say: Xiao Zhang, there are important guests coming tomorrow. Prepare a working meal to enrich it.
I can't just walk away. I would ask:
Do you think the per capita budget of 500 yuan is 1000 yuan? Are you going to that quiet American restaurant or that Hunan restaurant that you praised for its special taste?
After the hotel is confirmed, the guests should be informed of the location, parking lot and weather information needed to arrive at the dinner party.
On the day of dinner, you should arrive early, meet at the door and guide the customers in case they can't find a seat.
If it is a bureau that needs to order food on the spot, be sure to signal the waiter to hand the menu to the distinguished guests first, not your leader, otherwise the leader will think that you are not doing well.
When ordering food, even if everyone says "whatever", ask everyone about their preferences and taboos.
Others give up the right to choose, but they also have the right to know and decide. Therefore, there is a classic saying that "the right to know is in the whole, the right to choose is in the orderer, and the decision is in the leadership".
If you don't know what to order, you can ask the waiter to recommend 2-3 special dishes and signature dishes, and then ask if there is anything you can't eat. Then follow the point.
When eating, when there is no topic, you can tell the story of this restaurant or the characteristics of a dish. Food is not only for enjoyment, but also for creating topics and activating the atmosphere.
Of course, if you feel that you can't cope with the heat, you can arrange a "game" to create an entertainment atmosphere. He is a pistachio. Of course, he'd better have a little alcohol, and he can stop the wine for the leader (if you can't stop the wine yourself).
When eating, as the host, you should pay close attention to every move of the guests and leaders, that is, think first and act first. Such as serving tea and water, adding wine, going to the toilet and so on.
Then there is the order of drinking: the host respects the guests, the guests respect the guests, the guests reciprocate, and the guests respect each other. Don't cut in line, don't rob the wine.
Near the end, it is time to pay the bill. But you can't buy it too early to prevent it from being stingy to add wine and vegetables. You can make an agreement with the front desk to check out, or you can pay the full amount directly. The principle is not to let customers check out and not to let customers see the bill.
Send the guests to the car after dinner, and put the gifts in the trunk or back seat in a low-key way to create a peak experience for the guests.
