Preparing for dinner before dinner is one of the frequent activities of communicators, and there are many manners worthy of attention. The following is a detailed introduction of Chinese business banquet etiquette for everyone. Welcome to read it!

Chinese business banquet etiquette 1 Table seating arrangement is different.

To arrange a banquet, the first thing to do is to arrange tables and seats, which is a very important part of China's food culture. In seating arrangement, there are great differences between China and the West: men are the largest in China, and women are the priority in westerners; Oriental couples sit next door, while westerners sit opposite men and women; Orientals respect the left as big, while westerners respect the right as big; Chinese seating often puts the company's "second-in-command" directly opposite the host, while westerners will put the most distinguished guests directly opposite. The principle of seating arrangement for Chinese food is "respecting the east from the left" and "respecting the gate". The head of the family banquet is the elder with the highest seniority, and the last one is the one with the lowest seniority.

Table times. The main and guest tables facing the gate of the round table are 2, 4, 6, 8 on the left hand side and 3, 5, 7, 9 on the right hand side until they meet. If it is a formal banquet, the arrangement between tables should pay attention to the principle that the first table is in the front and the middle, and the arrangement principle of different tables is as follows:

First, when there is only one table, from the direction of standing facing the door, the host should sit near the door, and the guest and guest should sit facing the door.

Second, when standing at two tables, from the direction facing the door, the table on the right hand side is the main table, and the table on the left hand side is the secondary table.

When there are three tables, from the direction facing the door, the middle table is the main table, the right table is the secondary table, and the left table is the auxiliary table.

4. If the four tables are arranged in a ring, the table in the first column farthest from the door in the middle is the main table, the second column is arranged in order from the right as the second table and the third table, and the table in the third column closest to the door is the fourth table. If arranged in a line, the second table on the right is the main table, the third table is the second table, the first table on the right is the third table, and the leftmost table is the fourth table.

Five or five tables are arranged around the axis. From the direction facing the door, the central table is the main table, the table on the right far from the door is the second table, the table on the left is the third table, and the table on the right near the door is the fourth table and the table on the left is the fifth table. If the rows are plum blossom-shaped, from the direction of standing facing the door, the first column farthest from the door is the main table, the second column is the second table on the right, the third table on the left, the fourth table on the right and the fifth table on the left near the door.

Seating If it is a big banquet, the Chinese seating order also needs to be clarified.

Tableware is well placed.

During the Olympic Games, the distinguished guests received came from more than 200 countries and regions, and they must be very much looking forward to tasting the famous Chinese food. However, many foreigners are not clear about the dining etiquette of Chinese food. Therefore, the host should introduce the tableware of Chinese food to the guests before eating. The specific placement methods of Chinese tableware are as follows:

First, the seat card: placed in front of the wine glass or flat above the tableware, but not in the plate.

2. Plate: Depending on the number of people present, the plate will be placed on the table with the same distance, the sign facing up and about two fingers wide from the table. Small seasoning dishes will be arranged at the top left of the bone plate one finger apart, so that guests can add seasonings according to their own tastes.

Third, napkin: folded into flowers and inserted in a water cup or placed flat on the bone plate.

4. Spoons: Spoons and spoon holders are arranged at the upper right of the bone plate, parallel to the flavor plate, and the spoon recess faces left.

5. Chopsticks: At a formal dinner, chopsticks should be provided with a chopstick rack, which is placed horizontally at the upper right of the spoon rack with a finger width apart, and the chopsticks should be flat on the chopstick rack, if there is a sign, the words are facing up.

6. Cups: The quantity and style should be matched with the types of wine and drinks, and placed at the upper right of the taste dish. For Chinese food, a male cup is usually placed on each table, about one finger wide at the edge of the turntable, and the mouth of the cup faces left.

Seven, seasoning pot: a small seasoning pot filled with soy sauce and vinegar will be placed in the opposite side of the public cup, with the spout facing left.

Eight, toothpicks: toothpick cups are usually placed on the right side of the seasoning pot.

9. Service fork spoon: to the right of the owner's position, a base is placed, and a long silver ladle and service fork spoon are placed obliquely.

Ten, potted flowers: placed in the center of the turntable.

Chinese cuisine and fine wine

For China people, eating is an art and a manifestation of culture.

Chinese food serving order. Chinese food is mostly served with cold dishes, drinks and wine first, then hot dishes, then staple food, and finally desserts and fruits. The principle of serving dinner is: guests first, then hosts; Female guests first, then male guests; First the main guests, then the other guests. Start with the guests on the host's right and serve in order. The order of serving Chinese food is as follows:

First, cold dishes. There are two kinds of cold dishes for Chinese food, one is a side dish, and two or four dishes are usually prepared.

Second, stir fry. There are usually four plates of stir-fried Chinese food, which will be served after the first appetizing platter, but now many banquets will omit this dish.

Third, the main course. Immediately after the appetizer, continue to serve the main course. The number of courses of the main course is usually even, such as four, six and eight. Dishes use different materials, with five flavors of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, and are made by various cooking methods such as frying, steaming, boiling, frying, roasting and frying.

Fourth, special dishes. There are some special dishes in Chinese food, which need to be used when eating, such as roast duck wrapped in pancakes. Pay attention to wrapping it tightly to avoid the stuffing falling off. The intimate host should prepare to wash the finger tray, so that the guests can clean up their greasy fingers after using these dishes.

Five, soup. When drinking soup, you should know the essentials and be careful not to make noise. People in China usually suck soup with their mouths, so they will make noise. If it is a formal dinner, it is very rude. You can use a spoon to drink soup according to the skills of westerners. When you finish drinking, you should not pick up the soup bowl and eat it. Instead, you should gently hold the edge of the bowl with your left thumb and forefinger and tilt it slightly towards the center of the table to help you get the soup.

Sixth, snacks. Generally, meals are not served at banquets, but are replaced by cakes, cakes, noodles, steamed stuffed buns and jiaozi.

Seven, dessert. Including snacks, such as pies and cakes; Sweet soup, such as crystal sugar lotus seeds, tremella sweet soup, almond tofu, etc.

Eight, fruit. There are many kinds of fruits, most of which are presented in fruit bowls.

Chinese drinking culture. China people's drinking culture has a long history, and Chinese and western drinking cultures are also different. The classification of Chinese wine is about yellow wine, fruit wine, beer, liquor, mixed wine and so on. Wine has many uses, such as weddings, funerals and celebrations, and rewarding guests. Toast is an indispensable etiquette in Chinese banquets, but we should pay attention to moderation in toasting and not forcibly persuade wine, especially in formal banquets.

Usually, after the guest and host are seated, the waiter will pour the wine, first the hard liquor, then the fruit wine, beer, soda and so on. Usually from the host's right side, the guest is poured first, then the female guest is poured, then the host is poured, and then the wine is poured clockwise one by one. Guests on the right side of the host should also pay attention to pouring first. Pour wine and water for eight minutes. When toasting, the chief respects all the way in order. The toaster doesn't need to drink the wine in the glass, just take a sip at a time. When a man toasts his elders, he should hold a cup with both hands and stand up to propose a toast; Ladies, regardless of seniority, can hold the cup in their right hand and gently hold the bottom of the cup in their left hand, nod their heads and take a sip.

Dining etiquette

Before dinner. In Chinese dinners, most guests like to sit freely and choose their own partners, and couples often sit together. The hostess should invite all the guests to sit down one by one, and the order of invitation is: the first female companion who arranges the VIP is seated, and the position is arranged on the right hand side of the host, and the VIP is arranged on the right hand side of the hostess. If there is no special distinction between host and guest, the elders should be politely seated first, and then the ladies can be generously seated first.

You should enter from the left, gently pull the back of the chair, and the lady will be served by a man or waiter, and then sit down slowly. Sitting posture should be correct, ladies' legs should be close together, and men can do it naturally. Hands are not reliable on the table or on the back of the chair next to you, let alone hunch over and eat, which makes you look listless. It is best to turn off the mobile phone or turn it into vibration mode. If there is an emergency call to be answered, please leave and answer it at the appropriate venue.

Personal items such as handbags, keys, mobile phones, cigarettes, lighters, etc. should not be placed on the table to interfere with others' meals. They should be placed in handbags, and then placed between the back and the chair back, not on the table or on the ground. Take off the long coat can not be directly put on the back of the chair, coats, coats, etc. should be given to the waiter for safekeeping in the cloakroom. Sit upright, but not stiff and unnatural, and keep a proper distance from the dining table.

At dinner. After a dish is served, it is usually necessary to wait for the host or elder to start eating. If you need to use the chopsticks or the spoon, you should first put the dishes on your plate with the chopsticks, and then eat them slowly with your own chopsticks. When picking up food, you should wait until the food is turned in front of you before moving chopsticks. It is very impolite to pick up too much food at a time, and don't put the picked-up food back on the dish plate and stretch your chopsticks to pick up another dish. If you meet a neighbor with food, you should avoid it, and beware of chopsticks fighting. If there are foreign guests at the same table, you don't have to persuade them repeatedly or help them, because foreign guests generally don't have this habit. In the past, serving food for guests showed the hospitality of China people. Now, it is more timely and hygienic for guests to take food according to their own preferences.

Chinese food is mostly a big dish on the table, sometimes there is a waiter to help divide the dishes, if not, the men will help the women to get the dishes, or they will take them in turn. When eating, don't hold dishes and utensils in your hands. Use chopsticks to take a bite of food and send it to your mouth. Don't stuff too much food into your mouth at a time. When you want to spit out bones and thorns, you should use napkins or cover your mouth with your right hand, spit them in the palm of your left hand secretly, and then put them gently on the bone plate. Don't abandon them on the table or on the ground. Food with bones or shells should be avoided by hand, and it is advisable to eat with chopsticks or spoons. Very hot food should not be rushed into your mouth by blowing cold with your mouth, and you should wait until it is slightly cold before eating.

After dinner. After the meal, you must wait for the host and hostess to start seeing the guests off before you leave your seat. Never make a noise or criticize the guests before they leave. When seeing off guests, you should remind them of the things they carry or store, and bow to greet them, and try to wait until the guests are completely out of sight before returning to their seats. After a meal, it is not appropriate to settle the bill in front of the guests, nor should it be pandering to pay the bill. If you really want to pay the bill, you should find the right time to settle the bill quietly.

Chinese business banquet etiquette 2 reception order can not be ignored

In the process of reception, priority is extremely important, so as to highlight the identity and status of guests. The order of reception work should not be neglected. Whether walking, going up and down stairs, or taking the elevator, we should be orderly and different between men and women. In addition to the order before and after, we should also pay attention to the safety during the journey.

The general principles are: respect before, inferiority after; The right is big and the left is small. Therefore, when walking with an officer or elder, it is polite to walk behind or on the left.

When men and women are in parallel, men should let women walk on the safer side, that is, men should walk on the side where cars come and go. However, when hiking in a safe state, the principle of male left and female right should still be observed, and it is polite for men to walk on the left of women.

In a threesome, if all are men, the middle position is the most important, followed by the right and the left. When two men and one woman walk together, women should be allowed to walk in the middle to show respect; If a man and two women walk, the man should take the outermost lane position.

When many people walk, the front is the biggest, and the back is the smaller according to the order. When entering or leaving the door, the younger generation should step forward before the elder, and the man should step forward before the lady, responsible for pushing the door or knocking at the door. After opening the door, the lady follows the man first and takes care of it.

The way to get into the car is to put your hips in first, then put your feet in, and finally move your body and head in. When a driver is driving, the position on the right hand side of the driver is the smallest, and among the three people in the back seat, the right is big and the left is small. If the owner drives, his right hand side is the largest, and the way of the back seat is the same.

When going upstairs in the order of going upstairs and downstairs, the guest walks first and the host walks behind; Ladies in front, men in the back; Older people come first, younger people come last.

When going downstairs, the host walks in front and the guests walk behind; Men in front, women in the back; The young are in front, and the elderly are behind.

Take the elevator to enter the elevator in order. When there is someone guarding the elevator, the guests should be allowed to go in first and out first. When the elevator is unattended, the owner should go in first, go out later and hold down the button to prevent the elevator door from clamping the guests.

When accompanying visitors to the elevator, as soon as the elevator door opens, the receptionist should first press "Open" and make a "Please" gesture with one hand to let the guests enter first. After entering the elevator, you should immediately turn to face the elevator door to avoid turning your back on the guests and be polite; After arriving at the target floor, let the visitors get out of the elevator, and the receptionist will then get out of the elevator and indicate the direction.

When welcoming guests in the order of hospitality, the host walks first; When seeing the guests off, the host walked behind. When sitting, the right is the upper seat, and the guests should be arranged on the right side of the host or other accompanying personnel.

Before entering the reception room, you should tap on the door and wait until there is an echo inside before opening the door. When entering the reception room, you should open the door with your right hand, and then reach out and close the door with the same action, trying not to show people with your back. When entering the door, if the door is open outwards, open the door and hold it down before inviting guests in. If the door opens inward, please push it open and ask the guests to come in first.

Tea is ready to see the big picture from the small.

Tea preparation is a trivial matter, but it can make visitors feel the care and respect of the host, so it should be carefully prepared. The specific preparations are as follows:

The preparation of refreshment is very important. The secretary should prepare refreshments as soon as the guests are seated. If the customer is an oriental, he can give priority to tea; If you are a westerner, you can give priority to coffee. Foreigners usually ask guests what they want to drink first, and then prepare; Orientals focus on convenience in their own companies.

Tea service utensils refreshments should be served in a whole tea tray, not in individual cups or fruit bowls. There are three types of tea serving: paper cups, glass cups and porcelain cups, and the top choice is to cover bowls and cups for particularly important guests.

If you use tea bags to make tea, you need to take out the tea bags after soaking the tea soup, and you can't give them to the guests together. On the other hand, if you make tea with tea leaves, you should build tea with hot water and wait until the tea leaves sink into the water before serving guests. If you use coffee, you don't need to ask the guests for advice. You can automatically serve a pot of coffee or a cup of coffee, and serve the creamer and sugar together, so that the guests can help themselves.

The correct usage of the tray If there are more than two guests, you should serve the whole pot of tea and serve it on the tray. At this time, you don't have to pour out the tea first, but put the empty cup on the table and ask the guests to help themselves. The end method of the tea tray is to hold the middle of the edge of the tray with one hand and the bottom of the tray with the other hand, slowly walk into the reception room or reception area, and hand it over at the left or right rear of the guest.

After the tea tray is placed on the desktop, the tea should be served first according to the age of the guests on the desktop, and then according to the age of the host. When serving tea, hold the center of the cup in your right hand, and serve tea at the bottom of the cup in your left hand, just raise it horizontally without paying tribute to your chest. After serving tea, you should nod to the guests, then hold the tea tray to your side in one hand, take two or three steps back and then turn around and leave.

Standard time for changing tea and refilling cups If guests stay too long, they should enter the reception room to refill tea (or coffee) once every 60-90 minutes, and leave as soon as possible after refilling cups to avoid disturbing the meeting. After more than two hours, you don't need to add more tea until the break.

Never make a noise or criticize the guests before they leave. When seeing a guest off, you should try to wait until it is completely out of sight before returning to your post. When seeing a guest off, you should remind him of the object he is carrying or leaving, and bow.

Ten principles of attendance etiquette

Attending the meeting should know the basic etiquette of attending the meeting, so that the meeting can be held successfully and orderly. The basic etiquette of attending the meeting is roughly as follows:

First, respect others' speeches. We should give the greatest respect to other people's opinions and opinions, and we should not be too persistent or even make fun of other people's ideas or ideas.

Second, think actively. A successful meeting depends on the brainstorming and participation of the participants. With one more initiator, the difference of views will be reduced and it will be easier to produce solutions.

Third, respond positively and make proposals enthusiastically. During the meeting, participants should not only respond positively, but also actively express their opinions, share information, make timely proposals, and contribute to the wisdom of "winning the battle".

Fourth, stick to the facts. The statement in the meeting must be based on facts and not exaggerated.

5. Maintain flexibility and adhere to principles. Many people agree that "minor issues should be minimized", and some principles are too relaxed, resulting in poor performance, but some issues must be adjusted flexibly according to the situation. According to the need to set up open topics, give appropriate flexibility, so as not to get stuck in the discussion.

Sixth, come prepared. Participants should prepare relevant data and charts in the meeting in advance and have a deep understanding, so as to achieve the purpose of the meeting and put forward solutions.

Seven, carefully choose the seat. The seats and seats of the meeting have their own established arrangement etiquette. Participants should be careful and choose a seat that suits their position so as not to make people laugh. :

Eight, concentrate. This is the most easily overlooked meeting etiquette that everyone does not really follow. Some proceedings are conducted at a faster pace. If you don't concentrate, it is easy to miss important proceedings without knowing it, which may delay your work or cause financial losses to the enterprise.

Nine, attend on time. "A good beginning is half the battle". If the meeting can start on time, it means that the purpose of the meeting has been successfully achieved. Only when everyone attends on time can the meeting be successful.

Ten, pay attention to appearance, maintain the image. In the external meeting of an enterprise, the participants represent the company, and the personal manners are the epitome of the corporate image.

"People are not born if they are rude, things will not be rude, and countries will be restless if they are rude." People in China are relatively reserved in dealing with things, but they should be generous in international situations. In all international contacts, you must strictly abide by your promises, don't be late for appointments, and you must honor your promises in formal agreements.

As for the host and guest, if they are involved in higher-level business negotiations, they should be able to abide by the principle of "winners don't win all, losers don't lose all" at the negotiating table and achieve the highest principle of win-win. Both China businessmen and western businessmen think it is very important to maintain interpersonal relationships or contacts in shopping malls, but there will be differences in operating methods. The greatest use value of personal network resources is to form a dense network of relationships, and in such a network, sufficient shopping mall information and intelligence can be obtained.
