Laying method of hotel tablecloth

There are four common ways to spread tablecloths on Chinese dining tables: when spreading tablecloths, open the tablecloths with both hands and hold them well, lean forward slightly, and gently shake the tablecloths to the host's seat with the strength of both arms. In the process of throwing and shaking, it should be done properly and skillfully, and it should be shaken and put away at one time. Here are all the ways a person can spread a tablecloth.

(1) push-pull paving table. That is, open the tablecloth with both hands and put it on the dining table, face up. Hold one side of the tablecloth with both hands until it is 40cm-50cm away from the edge (this can prevent the edge of the tablecloth from touching the ground). The seam distance between the two hands and the tablecloth is about 50 cm (depending on the size of the tablecloth), other tablecloths are sandwiched between the other four fingers (such as the action of pushing and folding napkins), and the tablecloth is pushed out parallel to the dining table (hands-free) for one-time accurate positioning. The stitches in the paved tablecloth are aligned with the main theme and the auxiliary theme, and the midpoint of the cross falls in the center of the dining table. These four corners are equidistant from the ground.

This paving method is mostly used in zero-point restaurants or small-scale restaurants, or when guests are sitting around the table waiting for meals, or when the place is narrow, choose this push-pull method to pave the table.

(2) Push vibration paving. Basically similar to push-pull type, the difference is that in the process of pushing, shaking action is added, instead of horizontally pulling back or laying tablecloths between push-pull type and shaking type. This is mainly suitable for dining tables with unsmooth countertops.

(3) Vibration paving. That is, open the tablecloth with both hands, hold the tablecloth with both hands and stand upright after parallel discount. Shake the tablecloth forward once with the strength of two wrists, and adjust the position of the tablecloth with reference to the center line in the process of falling off the table and pulling it back, so as to locate it accurately. Put it flat on the dining table.

This paving method is suitable for carefree restaurants or when there are no guests around.

(4) casting a net. That is, open the tablecloth with both hands, face up, grasp the side of the tablecloth close to the body with your thumb and forefinger, and the other three fingers quickly grasp the rest of the tablecloth and fold it in half in parallel; Stand with your right foot in front and your left foot behind. Lift the uncovered tablecloth to your chest with both hands, with your arms parallel to your shoulders. Turn your upper body to the left and keep your lower limbs still. When your right arm rotates with your body, spread the tablecloth obliquely forward, just like throwing a fishing net. When throwing the tablecloth forward, turn your upper body back and stand in the right position, then pull the tablecloth back to your side and adjust the tablecloth at the same time. At this time, the tablecloth should be laid flat on the dining table.

When throwing, the action should be natural and natural. This paving method is mostly used for wide venues or technical competitions. The distance between hands is shoulder width, and the tablecloth should be opened as completely as possible with the center line as the axis, which is related to whether the tablecloth can be put in place at one time.
