How to distinguish the main seat, the deputy main seat, the main seat and the deputy main seat on the hotel dining table?

1, "main guard" position.

The host is the first person to queue up to treat guests, that is, the highest-ranking guest or the most distinguished person to accompany the wine. It's in front of the front door. The main function is basically the owner of the manor, grasping the time of this banquet and the degree of drinking.

2. The position of the "deputy guard".

The co-pilot is the second in line and the second most distinguished person among the guests. The position is opposite to the main guard, that is, the back is to the gate. Traditionally, this position should be held by the person who pays the bill. However, with the prevalence of hospitality corruption in recent years, under normal circumstances, guests are rushed out, so in fact, the second-ranked guest does not need to pay for such a small matter, so this position is more to drive guests to drink.

3. "Escort" position.

This is a title that has just become popular in recent years. In fact, this position is different from the titles of "Chief Escort" and "Deputy Escort" mentioned above, and the regulations in different parts of Shandong Province are also different. Some places don't have this position, but in Jinan, there seems to be an increasing trend. The position is the second position on the right hand side of the main guard. His main function is to accompany the host and put the "guests" in the middle for easy care. If you are not particularly familiar with the local customs, it is not recommended that you take this seat.

4. "Guest" position.

The guest of honor is the first level of the guest of honor, and it is the place where the highest-ranking or most distinguished guests do it. The position is on the right hand side of the "main guard". Because many people care about the severity of drinking in Shandong, foreign guests who know a little about Shandong rules sometimes choose to let people who drink a lot sit in this position, which is wrong.

The rule of treating guests is actually a kind of etiquette, but its essence is a kind of respect. If the above situation occurs, in fact, the real guests will not drink much less, and the honorary guests will generally be poured down (because you are not the most distinguished guest but sit in the guest position, just because you can drink, the guests must accompany you well), so the guests are not worth the candle, so avoid it.

5. The position of "deputy guest of honor".

It is the second priority of the guest. The position is on the left of the "main guard".

6, "three guests" position.

The deputy guest is number three on the guest side. The position is on the right hand side of the "assistant".

7. The position of "four guests".

The vice guest is the fourth guest in line. The position is on the left-hand side of "Assistant". These are the basic postures at the dinner table. It should be pointed out that the four positions listed above are all the same in Shandong Province, and it would be embarrassing to list them in reverse. The position of "escort" is more particular in some places.

"Three passengers" and "four passengers" are divided in this way in most areas, but the rules in some places are slightly different. For example, I know that in some places, the guests after the third place rank behind the "main guest" and the "deputy guest" in turn, commonly known as "attendance". When people can't accurately grasp the local customs, they can "inconvenience to change", that is, sit according to the host's arrangement to prevent omissions.
