China, what's the seating position at the dinner table? Shang Zuo Zun Dong? 、? Face the gate for honour? . If it's a round table, it's the host and guest facing the gate. In terms of the distance from the host and guest, the closer to the host and guest, the more respected it is. 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 right seat on the 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 guest, the relatives and friends should sit separately.

If you are the host, you should arrive early, then wait at the door and show the guests seats. If you are the invitee, 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 at the highest level. Unless the host's leadership level is very high.

Ordering etiquette

If time permits, you should wait for most of the guests to arrive, circulate the menu to the guests and invite them to order. Of course, as an official banquet, you will be worried about the budget. Therefore, to control the budget, the most important thing for you is to do more homework before cooking, and it is more important to choose a suitable place to treat guests.

Yes, so that guests can greatly understand your budget. Besides, generally speaking, if you pay the bill and the guests are not too embarrassed to order, you will be the master. If your boss is also at the banquet, don't let him/her order because he respects him or thinks that he is experienced in socializing and eats too much, unless he/she asks for it on his/her own initiative. Otherwise, he will feel that he is not decent enough.

If you are a party goer, you should know that you should not be too active in ordering, but let the host order. If the other party kindly requests, you can order a dish that is not too expensive and not taboo. Remember to consult the people at the table, especially? Is there anything you don't eat? Or? What do you prefer to eat? Make everyone feel taken care of. After ordering, can you ask for instructions? I ordered food. I wonder if it suits several people. ，? Would you like something else? Wait a minute.

When ordering food, be sure to have a clear idea. When ordering food, you can follow the following three rules:

1, depending on the composition of personnel. Generally speaking, one dish per capita is a general rule. If it is a dinner party with more men, the amount can be increased appropriately.

2. Look at the combination of dishes. Generally speaking, a table of dishes is best to be well-prepared, cold and hot, and try to be comprehensive. If there are more men on the table, you can order more meat, and if there are more women, you can order more light vegetables.

3. Look at the importance of the banquet. If it is an ordinary business banquet, an average dish is acceptable from 50 yuan to 80 yuan. If the object of this banquet is a key person, then order a few dishes with enough weight, such as lobster, swordfish and shad, and then serve abalone, wing powder and so on.

Another thing to note is that when ordering, you should not ask the waiter about the price of the dishes or bargain, which will make your company look a little petty in front of customers, and customers will feel uncomfortable.

Eating etiquette

People in China are generally very particular about eating, and they are also very particular about eating. With more and more attention paid to workplace etiquette, eating and eating at the business table are also more particular. Take Chinese food as an example to teach you how to be polite and elegant at the dinner table.

At the beginning of a Chinese banquet, the first wet towel sent by the waiter is to wipe your hands. Don't use it to wipe your face. When lobster, chicken and fruit are served, a small water lemon with lemon slices or rose petals floating in it is not a drink, but for washing hands. When washing your hands, you can take turns to wet your fingers, rinse them gently, and then dry them with a small towel.

Pay attention to manners when eating. Don't persuade foreign guests repeatedly, but introduce the characteristics of Chinese food to each other, and it's up to him to eat or not. Some people like to persuade others, and even help them. Foreign guests don't have this habit. If you are polite again and again, maybe people will resent it. I said I wouldn't eat. What do you have to make me do? By analogy, attend a banquet hosted by foreign guests, and don't expect the host to give you food repeatedly. If you wait for someone to serve you food, you'll have to be hungry.

After the guests are seated, don't start eating immediately. Instead, guests should wait for the host to say hello and raise their glasses to signal the start. Guests can't get ahead of their hosts. To be civilized, you should wait for the dishes to turn to yourself before moving chopsticks. Don't grab in front of your neighbor, and it is not advisable to take too many dishes at a time. Chew slowly, which is not only conducive to digestion, but also a etiquette requirement at the table. Never put a large piece in your mouth and wolf it down, which will give people the impression of greed. Don't be picky about food, don't just stare at your favorite food, or hurriedly pile your favorite dishes on your plate.

The action of eating should be elegant. Don't touch your neighbor when eating. Don't put the dishes on the table. Don't spill the soup. Don't make unnecessary noises, such as when eating soup? Gollum? In your mouth when eating vegetables? Boo-boom? , this is vulgar. Don't talk to people while eating. Don't spit the bones and fishbones in your mouth on the table. Cover your mouth with a napkin and take them out with chopsticks and put them on a plate. Don't eat the food that has fallen on the table. Don't play with bowls and chopsticks during eating, or use chopsticks to go straight to others. Don't dig in your mouth with your hands. When picking your teeth with a toothpick, cover your mouth with your hand or napkin. Don't let the tableware make any noise.

After eating, you can wipe your mouth with napkins, napkins or small towels sent by waiters, but it is not advisable to wipe your head, neck or chest; Don't burp or belch uncontrollably after meals; The guests can't leave the table before the host signals the end.

Drinking etiquette

As the saying goes, the more you drink, the thicker you get, but there are also a lot of knowledge on the wine table. The following summarizes some small details that you have to pay attention to on the wine table:

1, leaders drink each other before it's their turn to propose a toast. When toasting, you must stand up and raise your glasses with both hands.

2, many people can respect one person, never one person to respect many people, unless you are a leader.

3, respect others, if you don't clink glasses, how much you drink depends on the situation, such as the other person's alcohol consumption, the other person's drinking attitude, you must not drink less than the other person, you must know that you respect others.

4. Respect others by yourself. If you clink glasses, by the way, I'll finish it, so you can be generous.

5. Remember to add more wine to the leaders or customers. Don't blindly substitute wine for the leaders, that is, to substitute, but also to pretend that you want to drink because you really want to, not to substitute wine for the leaders. For example, leader A can't be a good drinker. You can stop people who are going to worship leader A by beating around the bush.

6. Pick up the glass (beer cup), hold the cup with your right hand and put the bottom of the cup with your left hand. Remember that your cup is always lower than others. If you are a leader, don't put too low.

7. If there is no special person present, it is best to touch the wine in the order of time, and don't favor one over the other.

8, clink glasses, toast, and have words.

9, don't talk about business on the table, drink well, the business is almost the same, everyone knows clearly in their hearts, otherwise people will not open up and drink with you.

10, if there is not enough wine, put the bottle in the middle of the table and let people add it themselves.

Toast order at the table

1, the host respects the guest of honor.

2. Accompany the guests and respect the guests.

3. The host and guest return the favor.

4. Accompany guests and respect each other.

Remember: a guest must not make a toast in a noisy manner, which is very impolite and disrespectful to the host.

Tea pouring etiquette

The knowledge of pouring tea mentioned here applies to both customers visiting the company and business dining tables.

First of all, the tea set should be clean. After the guests enter the room, sit down first and reserve tea. Before making tea, be sure to clean the tea set, especially the tea set that has not been used for a long time. It is inevitable that it will be stained with dust and dirt, and it should be carefully washed with clear water. It is best to iron the teapot and teacup with boiling water before making and pouring tea. In this way, not only pay attention to hygiene, but also appear polite. It is impolite to pour tea to guests at random, regardless of whether the tea set is clean or not. People turn sick at the sight of stains on teapots and teacups. How can they still drink your tea? Now the general company is disposable cups. Before pouring tea, you should pay attention to put a cup holder on disposable cups, so as to avoid the hot water and make the guests unable to have a cup of tea for a while.

Secondly, the tea should be moderate. Let's talk about tea first, generally it should be appropriate. There should be neither too much nor too little tea. Too much tea, too strong tea flavor; There are too few tea leaves, and the tea rushed out has no taste. If guests take the initiative to introduce their habit of drinking strong tea or weak tea, then make tea according to the guest's mouth and stomach. Besides, pouring tea, whether it is a big cup or a small cup, should not be too full. If it is too full, it will easily overflow and wet the table, stool and floor. If you are not careful, you will burn yourself or your guests' hands and feet, which will make both the host and the guest very embarrassed. Of course, it is not advisable to pour too little. If the tea is served to the guests only over the bottom of the cup, it will make people feel that they are pretending, not sincere.

Third, the tea should be served properly. According to the traditional habits of our people, as long as both hands are not disabled, they all serve tea to guests with both hands. However, some young people don't understand this rule now, so they pass the tea to the guests with one hand. Attention should also be paid to serving tea with both hands. For a teacup with a cup ear, one hand is usually used to hold the cup ear, and the other hand is used to hold the bottom of the cup and serve the tea to the guests. After a teacup without a cup ear is filled with tea, it is hot all over, and it is difficult to get close to your hands. Some comrades, regardless of the willy-nilly, hold the edge of the cup mouth with five fingers and send it to the guests. Although this method of serving tea can prevent scalding accidents, it is unsightly and not hygienic enough.

Add tea. If the boss and customers need to add tea to their cups, you are duty-bound to do it. You can signal the waiter to add tea, or ask the waiter to leave the teapot on the dining table, and it is better to add it yourself. This is the best way to hide when you don't know what to say. Of course, when adding tea, you should first add tea to your boss and customers, and then add tea to yourself.

Departure etiquette

Generally, cocktail parties and tea parties take a long time, about two hours or more. Maybe after walking around a few times and knowing some people, you will want to leave soon. At this time, you can't help but understand some skills of leaving halfway.

It is common that when a banquet is in full swing, because someone wants to leave, it causes everyone to disperse in a hubbub, which makes the organizer really anxious. To avoid the consequences of this kind of spoil the fun, when you want to leave halfway, don't say goodbye to everyone in the conversation circle, just quietly say hello to two or three people around you and then leave.

If you leave the reception halfway, you must explain and apologize to the host who invited you. You must not disappear in a flash.

Say hello to your host, and you should leave at once. Don't drag your host to talk endlessly in Daimon Masaru. Because the other party has a lot of things to do that day, there are still many guests waiting for him (her) to greet him (her). You take up too much time of the host, which will cause him (her) to be rude in front of other guests.

Some people attend cocktail parties and tea parties, and when they are ready to leave halfway, they will ask everyone they know if they want to go together. As a result, the lively scene was so encouraged by her that it was dismissed early. This kind of noisy thing is most difficult to be forgiven by the host of the banquet. A graceful person should never make this mistake.
