The seating arrangement principle for business banquets is that the larger one is on the right and the smaller one is on the left, that is, the host is in the middle, the larger one is on the right of the host, the smaller one is on the left, and so on.
During a banquet, the person with the highest position or status is honored and the person with the highest status will sit at the table. If the positions or status are the same, they must be positioned according to the traditional customs of official positions. If a partner follows, they will be ranked in the same order as other guests. That is, the guest of honor ranks first, and his or her partner ranks second.
The seat facing the entrance of the restaurant is the upper seat, usually for the main seat and company. The specific analysis is as follows:
1. Single-host banquet
The host (the main companion) should be the main focus, and the other seats should be arranged in order according to the principle of "right is most valuable" The glyphs are arranged in flying lines, and at the same time, the subject and the guest should be alternated.
2. Banquet with two hosts (same gender)
It is often used when the first host (main companion) and the second host (secondary companion) are of the same gender or when the banquet is held in formal occasions use. The main and auxiliary are opposite to each other, arranged clockwise according to the principle of "right is the most valuable", and at the same time, the main and guest should be alternated.
3. Banquet with two hosts (male and female host)
The main companion sits at the table, and the deputy companion sits opposite the main companion. The guests usually follow the host and hostess, arranged in an "X" shape in the order of right, high, left, and low, and at the same time, the hosts and guests should be alternated. (International practice is that the male guest of honor is placed on the right side of the hostess, and the female guest of honor is placed on the right side of the male host.)
4. The guest of honor sits on the upper seat and the host's right seat.
If the status of the guest of honor is higher than that of the host, in order to show respect for the guest of honor, the guest of honor can be placed in the position of the host, and the host (host companion) will sit where the guest of honor should originally sit. , that is, the seat on the right side, the second host (deputy companion) sits to the left of the main guest, and the host and guest should be alternated at the same time.

Husband and wife, father and daughter, mother and son, brother and sister, etc. must be separated. If there are foreign guests present, the Chinese and foreign guests will sit together.
