Da Zhuang is a newcomer who has just entered the workplace, but he works actively, has a correct attitude and works hard, so some leaders of the company are very optimistic about him.

Just last month, the department head was on a business trip in other places, and he specially applied to bring Dazhuang. On the one hand, he has concerns on the road, and on the other hand, he intends to cultivate great strength.

This business trip is mainly to meet some important customers, contact feelings and strengthen cooperation, so dinner is definitely inevitable.

At a dinner party, the head of the department said that Da Zhuang had to accompany the customer to order food first, and he had something to deal with, so Da Zhuang took the customer to the hotel, but he was at a loss with the menu, so he asked the customers one by one with the menu for fear that the customer would not order well.

On that day, a group of seven or eight customers came. After a round of inquiry and discussion, almost half an hour passed. When the supervisor arrived at the hotel, he found that the food had not been served, which was quite annoying. He quickly apologized to the customer, and the customer also expressed understanding. After all, Da Zhuang has no experience.

After this incident, the supervisor scolded Da Zhuang, but fortunately, the customer was more reasonable this time. Some customers who are angry or difficult to serve may leave on the spot. If this happens, the impact on the company will be enormous.

Therefore, in the development of the workplace, in addition to excellent professional and work skills, we also need to improve ourselves in some "soft power", especially in the way of the world at dinner.

In view of this topic, I will simply share with you a few tips for ordering dinner, so that everyone can enjoy themselves.

Ask what to eat first, then ask what to add. When you are asked to order for everyone at a dinner party, especially when there are customers and leaders present and there are many people, you should first ask what you don't eat, that is, avoid eating.

Because if you ask everyone what to eat, it will lead to what happened to Da Zhuang, or everyone will talk enthusiastically about a lot of dishes, and finally you have to make a choice. Otherwise, many people are more polite, and it will make you embarrassed to say it casually.

So it's best to ask what everyone doesn't eat, so that everyone will say something, such as some people don't eat spicy food, don't eat internal organs and so on. And they won't say much, which makes it difficult for you to choose and reflects your manners.

Then order some dishes according to everyone's taboos, quote the names of the dishes, and then ask everyone what to add. The number of dishes depends on the number of people. Generally, the number of cold dishes is 1/3 to 1/2, and the number of hot dishes is 1.2 to 1.5 times.

People in China generally pay attention to even-numbered auspiciousness, so the order quantity is forbidden to be 3, 5, 7, etc.

Second, the taste should be moderate and satisfy most people. At some dinner parties, you may not know everyone's taboos or preferences. In this case, you should try to order some moderate dishes, that is, not too light or too greasy or too spicy, such as kung pao chicken, shredded pork, celery and lily.

Your easy-going ordering style will also make people here feel that you are easy-going, reliable and trustworthy.

In the cooking of dishes, mainly burning and frying, supplemented by steaming, boiling and frying. Try not to order two dishes with the same cooking method or two dishes with the same main ingredients.

Third, mysterious classic dishes, creating unexpected surprises. Of course, in addition to ordering some dishes that everyone likes and naming them for everyone, you can also play tricks to add some fun and surprises to the dinner.

Just order some mysterious dishes without telling everyone in advance. If you are familiar with this restaurant, you can order one or two special dishes directly. If you are not familiar with it, you can consult the waiter in advance to determine one or two special dishes.

In the process of serving, tell everyone that this is a mysterious dish and say, "Give everyone a surprise, but it may not satisfy everyone's taste. Everyone should try it, and eat more when it tastes good. "

In this way, people who like this dish will feel really a surprise, while people who don't like this dish can also feel your sincerity and humor.

In fact, dinner etiquette has always been an important part of traditional etiquette in China. In today's workplace, all kinds of dinners, large and small, emerge one after another, especially in the workplace. To some extent, it can be said that it is a stage for you to show yourself.

Therefore, in addition to its own professional ability, the development of the workplace needs to work harder on "soft power", that is, dealing with people at some dinners.
