At a banquet, where does the seat of honor refer to specifically?

Hello everyone, welcome to my food Q&A. I am a creator in the field of food: "Focus on food and make life more interesting." Chinese people are very particular about their seats when eating. Please tell me which seat you are referring to. ?

Banquets

With the rapid development of the economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, there are more and more banquets, dinner parties, wedding banquets, banquets and other activities. On the one hand, people's consumption concepts and consumption patterns have undergone tremendous changes. From the beginning of food, clothing and good food, it has now upgraded to dual spiritual and material enjoyment, which has put forward higher requirements for the service and management of hotels, restaurants, family dinners, etc. Just like today's question asked about the specific position of the seat on the dining table? It happened that when I was studying cooking techniques at a technical school, I also learned about catering management and service in the theoretical class. Today, let’s talk about the things above:

The dining table

There are so many etiquette and details on the dining table. Today we will briefly talk about the etiquette and details on the dining table. Seating arrangements. Usually, the dining table is divided into light meals and banquets. There is a big difference between the two. Banquets are more rigorous than light meals. Banquets are divided into family banquets and banquets. Compared with family banquets, the etiquette of seating arrangements at banquets is more particular and rigorous. The specific positions on each table also have different priorities. I will briefly mention a few points here without going into details. Mainly speaking, under normal circumstances: (1) Most hosts should face the main entrance. Sit and take a seat at the main table. Facing the door is the top seat, which is where the person asking the question is seated. If during a meal, some people sit facing the front door, and some people sit with their backs to the front door, according to etiquette and convention, the person facing the front door should be the top seat, and those with their backs to the front door. The one with the lower seat is the so-called "face door is the upper seat". When we eat out, it is difficult to judge who is seated. We can also judge based on the folding of the napkins on the table. "As shown in the picture above" the top napkin is folded differently from other napkins. This is the seat on the table. This usually means that the number of people is between five and ten, and the banquet is usually in pairs, which has a good meaning. It is not convenient for more than ten people and the owner will not be able to take care of them.

Dining table

Next, let me talk about how to choose the seat for two or three people, as well as the environment and other factors: the right is higher, the left is lower, that is, the right is the seat. To put it simply, when two people sit side by side, they usually sit on the right, because when Chinese food is served, most dishes are served clockwise, and the person sitting on the right is better than the person sitting on the left. Prioritize care. The middle seat is the highest seat: This is the situation when three people are dining, and the middle seat is the highest seat. The person sitting in the middle is positioned higher than the people sitting on either side. Best for viewing: In some restaurants with a good environment or relatively high-end, where you can see performances or the scenery outside the window, the seat with the best viewing angle is the seat. It is better to sit next to the wall: During large gatherings, in order to prevent interference from passing people and diners, it is usually better to sit against the wall to avoid interference and achieve the best dining effect. Usually, the seat is determined based on these five situations. It depends on the specific situation, I hope it can help everyone.

Cooking takes a long time, and you can appreciate it quietly. There is always a dish that warms your heart

No matter how time passes, keep the food and the good things will always be with you!
