Banquet seating arrangement

What is the traditional etiquette in China? Respect the east? 、? Facing the door for honor? . 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. Unless the host's leadership level is very high.

Main points of ordering food

If time permits, you should generally wait for the guests to arrive, distribute the menu to the guests and ask them to order. Of course, as a business banquet, you will worry about the budget. Therefore, it is most important to control the budget and do more homework before you cook. More importantly, choose a suitable place for your guests, so that they can have a great understanding of your budget. In addition, generally speaking, you pay the bill, the guests are not too embarrassed, and you are the host. If your boss is also at the banquet, don't let him/her order after eating a lot of banquets just because he/she respects him/her or thinks he/she has rich social experience, unless he/she asks. Otherwise he will feel that he is not decent enough.

If you are a frequent party guest, you should know that you should not take the initiative to order food, but let the host order food. If the other party asks in good faith, you can order a dish that is not too expensive or taboo. Remember to consult the people at the same table, especially? Is there anything you don't eat? What do you prefer to eat to make everyone feel taken care of? Can I ask for instructions after ordering? I ordered food. I don't know how many people are suitable. ,? Do you want something else? Wait a minute.

When ordering food, you can follow the following three rules:

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

Second, 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.

Third, look at the importance of banquet. If it is an ordinary business banquet, ordinary dishes from 50 yuan to 80 yuan are acceptable. 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.

Another thing to note is that when ordering, don't ask the waiter about the price of the food or bargain. This will make your company look a little petty in front of customers and customers will feel uncomfortable.

Pay attention to your diet.

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 at the business table is 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 the 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 lemon with lemon slices or rose petals floating is not a drink, but is used to wash hands. When washing your hands, you can wet your fingers in turn, 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. It's up to him to decide whether to eat or not. Some people like to persuade others and even help others. Foreign guests do not have this habit. If you are polite again and again, maybe people will resent it. I said I wouldn't eat, so what do you have to force me to do? Wait, attend the banquet hosted by foreign guests, and don't expect the host to pick up food for you repeatedly. If you wait for someone to serve you food, you have to be hungry.

Don't start eating immediately after the guests are seated. Instead, guests should wait for the host to say hello, and then raise their glasses to signal the start. Guests can't walk in front of their hosts. To be civilized, don't move chopsticks until it's your turn. Don't grab it in front of your neighbors. It's not advisable to take too many dishes at once. Chewing slowly is not only conducive to digestion, but also a etiquette requirement at the table. Never put a big piece in your mouth and wolf it down, it will give people the impression of greed. Don't be picky about food, don't just stare at your favorite food, or pile your favorite dishes on the plate in a hurry. The action of eating should be elegant. Don't touch your neighbor while eating. Don't put the plate on the table. Don't spill the soup Don't make unnecessary noises, such as when eating soup? Gollum? Eat vegetables in your mouth? Boom boom. This is vulgar. Don't talk to people while eating. Don't spit bones and fishbones in your mouth on the table. Cover your mouth with a napkin, take it out with chopsticks and put it on a plate. Don't eat the food on the table. Don't play with bowls and chopsticks when eating, and don't take others directly with chopsticks. Don't pick your mouth with your hands. When picking 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 the waiter, but it is not advisable to wipe your head, neck or chest; Don't burp or burp uncontrollably after meals. The guests can't leave the table until the host signals the end.

Drink wine/alcohol

As the saying goes, the more you drink, the stronger you get, but there is also a lot of knowledge on the wine table. The following summarizes some small details that have to be paid attention to on the wine table.

Details 1: Before it was their turn to propose a toast, the leaders drank with each other. When toasting, py must stand up and raise his glass with both hands.

Detail 2: You can be respected by many people. Never be respected by many people unless you are a leader.

Detail 3: Respect others. If you don't clink glasses, how much you drink depends on the situation. For example, the drinking capacity and attitude of the other party must not be less than that of the other party. You should know that you respect others.

Detail 4: Respect others by yourself. If you clink a glass, by the way, I'll finish it, so be generous.

Detail 5: Remember to add more wine to the leaders or customers. Don't blindly drink for the leader, that is, if the leader or customer really wants to find someone to replace him, pretend that he wants to drink instead of drinking for the leader. For example, leader A can't drink enough. Beating around the bush can stop people who want to worship leader A.

Detail 6: Pick up the glass (beer glass), grab the glass with your right hand and put it on the bottom with your left hand. Remember that your cup is always lower than others'. If you are a leader, you should be sensible and don't put it too low, otherwise how can you be a person below.

Detail 8: clink glasses, propose a toast and make a statement. Why else would I drink your wine?

Details 10: If there is not enough wine, put the wine bottle in the middle of the table and let others add it themselves. Don't be silly to pour wine one by one, or what should the people behind you do if they don't have wine?
