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. If you are the host, you should arrive early, then wait at the door and show the seats to the guests. If you are invited, you should be seated according to the host's arrangement. Generally speaking, if your boss is present, you should lead him to the main seat and ask the customer to sit on the left side of the main seat, which is the highest level.
Three rules for ordering food at the dinner table:
1, look at the composition. Generally speaking, one dish per capita is a general rule. If it is a dinner with more men, the amount can be increased appropriately.
2. Look at the combination of dishes. Generally speaking, it is best to prepare a table of dishes well, mix hot and cold, and try to be comprehensive. If there are many men on the table, you can order more meat, and if there are many women, you can order more light vegetables.
3. Look at the importance of banquet. If it is an ordinary business banquet, ordinary dishes will do. If the object of this banquet is a key person, order a few dishes with enough weight, such as lobster, swordfish and shad, and then serve abalone, wing powder and so on.
