Several common dining methods
This paper mainly introduces the etiquette norms of banquets, family banquets, simple meals and working meals (including buffets). That is, a banquet held at home. Compared with a formal banquet, the most important thing for a family banquet is to create a cordial, friendly and natural atmosphere, so that the host and guests attending the banquet can be relaxed, natural and casual, enhance mutual communication, deepen understanding and enhance trust.
Usually, family banquets often have no special requirements in etiquette. In order to let the guests feel the attention and friendliness of the host, basically the hostess cooks in person and the host acts as a waiter; Or the host cooks and the hostess serves as a waitress to entertain the guests, making them feel at home.
If you want to attend a banquet, then you need to pay attention to it. First of all, you should dress yourself neatly and generously, which is a respect for others and for yourself.
And go to dinner on time at the time invited by the host. In addition to the reception, the general banquet will invite guests to arrive half an hour in advance. It is not impolite to arrive a few minutes before the party for some reason. But being late is disrespectful to the host and very impolite.
When entering the host's house or banquet hall, you should say hello to the host first. Meanwhile. You should smile, nod or shake hands with other guests, whether you know them or not. Take the initiative to stand up and give up your seat to the old man; Be solemn and polite to female guests.
When seated, the seat should be arranged by the host or waiter, because some banquet hosts have already arranged it. If the seat is not fixed, it should be noted that the seat facing the door is the upper seat and the seat facing the door is the lower seat. Old people, old people and women should sit down first, and then find suitable seats for themselves.
Sit up straight after taking a seat, put your feet under the seat, don't straighten or shake your legs all the time, don't lean your elbows on the edge of the table, and don't put your hands on the back of the chair next to you. After taking a seat, don't look like no one is watching, and don't stare at the dishes on your plate with impatience. You can have a simple conversation with your partner.
Dress formally when eating, don't take off your coat, and don't take off your coat halfway. Generally speaking, it will be done after the host gives the start signal. Eat gently, and pick vegetables lightly. And put the food in your own small plate first, then pick it up with chopsticks and put it in your mouth. When putting food into your mouth, take a sip, tilt your elbows outward, and don't open them to the sides to avoid touching your neighbor. Don't make any noise when eating, drinking or drinking soup. When eating, if you want to use condiments placed in front of other guests at the same table, you should say hello to others before taking them; If it's too far, please politely ask someone to help you. If you must pick your teeth when eating, cover your teeth with your left hand or handkerchief and gently pick your teeth with a toothpick in your right hand.
When drinking, it is impolite to persuade others to drink, especially for those who can't drink well.
If the banquet is not over yet, but you have finished your meal, don't leave at will. Wait until the host and guests have finished eating, and the other guests can leave in turn. It is a business gathering held by partners who have business relations in business communication, with the purpose of getting in touch, keeping in touch, exchanging information or negotiating business. It is different from formal working meals, formal banquets and dinners with relatives and friends. It pays attention to an atmosphere, aiming at creating a relaxed, happy and harmonious atmosphere, which is conducive to further contact with friends through dinner. It is a business activity that continues in the form of dining, and the dining table is used as a conference table or negotiating table. Working meals are generally small in scale and usually held at noon. The host does not need to send a formal invitation, and the guests do not need to give a formal reply to the host in advance. The time and place can be temporarily selected. For the sake of hygiene, it is best to eat together or use public chopsticks.
We will continue our business conversation while having a working meal. But at this time, it should be noted that in this case, you should not record or video, or arrange a special person to record, just like in the conference room. If you don't need to take notes, you should get the consent of the other party first. Never go your own way as if you don't trust each other. When you find that the other party is dissatisfied with this, you can't insist on doing so.
Working lunch is a "business negotiation meal" between the host and the guest, and it is not suitable for people outside the theme to join. If you happen to meet an acquaintance, you can say hello or give a brief introduction to the person at the same table. But don't be presumptuous and leave your friends behind. In case someone who doesn't know enough "lingers", you can politely order the guests to leave "You are busy, so I won't take up your precious time any more" or "We'll contact you tomorrow. I will call you on my own initiative. " This is to learn the western modern dining style. It does not arrange seats, nor does it arrange a unified menu. It displays all the staple foods, dishes and drinks that can be served together, and selects, processes and enjoys them according to the personal hobbies of diners.
This can save money, not much etiquette, and is convenient for both the host and the guest; Everyone can do whatever they want when eating. It is also the wisest choice to arrange meals in this way when holding large-scale activities and entertaining a large number of guests.
