Which direction is the main seat of the dining table?

1. Face-to-face: If someone is sitting facing the main entrance and someone is sitting with his back to the main entrance, according to etiquette and convention, the person facing the main entrance should be the upper seat, and the person facing the main entrance should be the lower seat.

2, the middle seat is respected: when three people eat together, the person sitting in the middle is taller than the person sitting on both sides.

3. Right is high and left is low: when two people sit side by side, the right side is generally the upper seat and the left side is the lower seat. This is because Chinese food is served clockwise, so right-handed people have priority over left-handed people.

4. Good view: When dining in some high-end restaurants, there are often beautiful scenery or elegant performances indoors and outdoors for diners to watch. At this time, the best viewing angle should be the seat.
