First of all, the order of ordering depends on the personality of the leader. If your leader actually likes to order, but when you first ask him if he wants to order, he will say casual. Or maybe I’m not good at ordering, please order! But you have to learn to watch the leader's behavior, or ask your other colleagues about the leader's character in advance, so as not to offend him.
If others unanimously ask you to order, then ordering will test your skills alone. In fact, there is a very simple principle in ordering skills for official meals, which we generally call "everything is even and balanced, and the meat and vegetables are balanced."
The so-called "four even and eight stable" means that four cold dishes should be served and eight hot dishes should be served. Under normal circumstances, a balance of meat and vegetables means that no matter whether it is a cold dish or a hot dish, it should be ordered according to the amount of meat and vegetables, and the amount of meat and vegetables is about the same. Of course, this balance will depend on the number of people you are eating, your gender, and everyone’s preferences. If your boss hates eating meat and you order a lot of greasy meat, your boss will definitely look unhappy.
The so-called smoothness is a standard configuration for a meal for eight people, so certain adjustments must be made according to the number of people eating, or simple adjustments can be made according to the size of the dishes in the restaurant.
Of the four cold dishes, it is best to have a fungus and a green vegetable, such as peanuts and spinach. The color of such a dish will be brighter after it is served. At the same time, you can order two more meat dishes. The best way is to make each cold dish different in color and presentation, because sometimes the boss When dining with colleagues, the boss will arrive late and have to wait for a long time, but the table will definitely not be empty when the boss comes, so usually a large number of dishes are chosen, in most cases to decorate the table, and will not let the boss eat. It was boring while waiting for hot food.
So after choosing cold dishes, just ask the restaurant to order them. Hot dishes should be ordered first without being ordered, and then served after the leader arrives. The hot dishes need to include beef, mutton, chicken, fish, and pork, and at the same time, some vegetarian dishes should be ordered that can go with rice.
In short, you should have chicken, duck and fish, as well as vegetarian and cold dishes. As you slowly master the skills and time control, you will know how to order.
