what are the precautions for business dining etiquette?

It's very important to know who the diners are in advance, because you have to determine whether you are dressed appropriately according to the level and status of the diners. If you are a man, the suit is the safest to wear. If you are a woman, it's necessary to know the diners' situation, so as to avoid the appearance of men and women who are all dressed in suits and suits, and it's a bit out of place for you to wear cartoon clothes.

According to the seating rules, most hotels are mainly round tables, and even plates are also placed. Unless you tell the waiter in advance the number of people dining today, you must know where to sit and who you are. If you are inviting guests, you should sit with your back to the door. Generally, the one facing the door is one of the protagonists tonight. We call it the main escort. Sitting on the right hand side of the main escort is the most important VIP for dinner.

Six aspects to pay attention to in business banquets!

China is a country of etiquette, and it has always attached importance to etiquette. Modern society, especially in business situations, should pay more attention to it. It is also common for entrepreneurs to organize or participate in various banquets. How to hold a successful business banquet? I'll explain it to you ~

1. Seating

Generally speaking, the seating is "respecting the left and respecting the east" and "facing the gate for respect".

if it's a round table, it's the host and guest facing the gate, and the positions on the left and right sides of the host and guest are more respected as far as the distance from the host and guest is concerned, and the left side is more respected as far as the same distance is concerned.

if it's a square table, the right position on the 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 be that the chief is in the first place, with 2, 4 and 6 seats on the left and 3, 5 and 7 seats on the right, and they should be seated separately according to the identity, status and intimacy of the host and guest.

the host should arrive early, then wait at the door and show the guests seats; The invitees are seated according to the host's arrangement. Generally speaking, if your boss is present, you should lead the boss to the main seat, and then ask the customer to sit on the left side of the main seat at the highest level, unless the leadership level of the host is very high this time.

second, order

if time permits, you should wait until most of the guests arrive, circulate the menu to the guests and invite them to order. Of course, as an official banquet, you need to worry about the budget. If you want to control the budget, you need to do more homework before cooking. It's important to choose the right place to treat guests, so that guests can greatly understand your budget.

generally speaking, if you pay the bill and the guests are not too embarrassed to order, you will be the master. If the boss is at the banquet, don't let him/her order because he respects him or thinks he is experienced in entertainment, unless he/she asks for it on his own initiative. Otherwise, he will feel that he is not decent enough.

if you are a dinner party, you should not be too active when ordering, but let the host order. If the other party kindly requests, you can order a dish that is not too expensive and not taboo for everyone. And remember to ask the people at the table,' Is there anything you don't eat?' Or' What do you prefer to eat?' Make everyone feel taken care of.

When ordering food, you must be aware of the following three rules:

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

second, look at the combination of dishes. Generally speaking, a table of dishes is best to be well-prepared, cold and hot, and try to be comprehensive. If there are more men on the table, you can order more meat, and if there are more women, you can order more light vegetables.

Third, look at the importance of the banquet. If it is an ordinary business banquet, an average dish is acceptable from 5 yuan to 8 yuan. If the object of this banquet is a key person, you should order a few dishes with enough weight, such as lobster, swordfish and shad, and then abalone, wing powder and so on.

another thing to note is that when ordering, you should not ask the waiter about the price of the food or bargain, which will make your company appear petty in front of customers and customers will feel uncomfortable. After ordering, you can ask' I ordered, I don't know if it suits several people',' Would you like something else' and so on.

Third, eat food

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 and eating at the business table are 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 a 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 water lemon with lemon slices or rose petals floating in it is not a drink, but for washing hands. When washing your hands, you can take turns to wet your fingers, rinse them gently, and then dry them with a small towel.

after the guests are seated, don't start to eat immediately, but wait until the host raises a glass to signal the start, and the guests can't start. Pay attention to manners when eating. When picking vegetables, you should wait until the dishes are in front of you, then move chopsticks. Don't grab in front of your neighbor, and it is not advisable to pick too many dishes at a time.

don't persuade foreign guests repeatedly, but introduce the characteristics of Chinese food to each other, and it's up to him to eat or not. By analogy, attend a banquet hosted by foreign guests, and don't expect the host to give you food repeatedly. If you wait for someone to help yourself, you can only go hungry.

after picking vegetables, chew slowly, which is not only beneficial to digestion, but also a etiquette requirement at the table. If a large piece is stuffed into your mouth and wolfed down, it will give people the impression of greed. Don't be picky about food when eating, or just stare at your favorite food, or pile your favorite dishes on your plate in a hurry. The action of eating should be elegant. Don't touch your neighbor when eating. Don't put the dishes on the table. Don't spill the soup. Don't spit bones and fishbones in your mouth on the table. Cover your mouth with a towel and take them out with chopsticks and put them on a plate. Don't eat the food that has fallen on the table. Don't play with bowls and chopsticks during eating, or use chopsticks to go straight to others. Don't dig in your mouth with your hands. When picking your teeth with a toothpick, cover your mouth with your hand or a towel. Don't let the tableware make any noise, or make unnecessary noises, such as' purring' when drinking soup and' popping' when eating vegetables, which are all vulgar expressions. Don't talk to people while eating.

After eating, you can wipe your mouth with napkins, napkins or small towels sent by waiters, but it is not advisable to wipe your head, neck or chest. Don't burp or belch uncontrollably after meals; The guests can't leave the table before the host signals the end.

IV. Drinking

As the saying goes, the more you drink, the thicker you get, but there is also a lot of knowledge on the wine table. Here are some small details on the wine table:

Detail 1: The leaders drink each other before it is their turn to propose a toast. When toasting, you must stand up and raise your glasses with both hands.

detail 2: many people can respect one person, but never one person respects many people unless you are a leader.

detail 3: when toasting, if you don't touch glasses, how much you drink depends on the situation, such as the amount of alcohol and the attitude of the other party, and you must never drink less than the other party. If you clink glasses, you will be generous if you say' I'll finish it'.

detail 4: add more wine to the leaders or customers, but don't drink for the leaders blindly, unless the leaders or customers clearly indicate that they want to find someone to replace them, and show that they want to drink instead of drinking for the leaders. If the leader is not a good drinker, you can stop the person who is ready to respect the leader by beating about the bush.

Detail 5: Pick up the glass (beer glass), grab the glass with your right hand, and pad the bottom of the glass with your left hand. Your own glass will always be lower than others. If you are a leader, don't put it too low and leave room for others.

detail 6: if there is no special person present, it is best to touch the wine in a timely order, and don't favor one over the other.

detail 7: clink glasses, toast, need to have a speech. There's a reason to raise a glass.

detail 8: business is not discussed on the table. after drinking, business will be almost the same.

detail 9: if there is not enough wine, the wine bottle is placed in the middle of the table, and you can take it and add it yourself.

detail 1: etiquette for toasting: first, the host respects the guest of honor; The second is to accompany the guests and respect the guests; The third is the guest of honor; The fourth is to accompany guests and respect each other. Remember: a guest must not make a toast in a noisy manner, which is very impolite and disrespectful to the host.

v. pouring tea

the knowledge of pouring tea is applicable to both customers visiting the company and business dining tables.

first, the tea set should be clean. After the guests enter the room, sit down first and reserve tea. Before making tea, you must wash the tea set, especially the tea set that has not been used for a long time, which will inevitably be stained with dust and dirt, and you should wash it carefully with clear water. It is best to iron the teapot and teacup with boiling water before making and pouring tea. In this way, not only pay attention to hygiene, but also appear polite. Now the general company is disposable cups, so you should pay attention to put a cup holder on disposable cups before pouring tea, so as to avoid hot water.

secondly, the tea should be moderate. Let's talk about tea first, and the amount should be appropriate. Too much tea, too strong tea flavor; There is too little tea, and the tea produced is tasteless. If the guest voluntarily introduces his habit of drinking strong tea or weak tea, it will be placed according to the guest's mouth and stomach. Besides, pouring tea, whether it is a big cup or a small cup, should not be too full. If it is too full, it will easily overflow. If you are not careful, it will burn yourself or your guests' hands and feet, which will make both the host and the guest very embarrassed. Of course, it is not advisable to pour too little. If the tea is served to the guests only over the bottom of the cup, it will make people feel that they are pretending, not sincere.

Third, serve tea properly. The tradition of pouring tea in China is to serve tea with both hands. When serving tea with both hands, you should also pay attention. For a teacup with a cup ear, you usually hold the cup ear with one hand and hold the bottom of the cup with the other hand to serve the tea to the guests. After a teacup without a cup ear is filled with tea, it is hot all over, and it is difficult to get close to your hands. Some comrades, regardless of the willy-nilly, hold the edge of the cup mouth with five fingers and send it to the guests. Although this method of serving tea can prevent scalding accidents, it is unsightly and not hygienic enough. Finally, when it comes to adding tea. If the boss and customers need to add tea to their cups, you can signal the waiter to add tea, or let the waiter leave the teapot on the dining table and add it in person. When adding tea, first add tea to your boss and customers, and finally add tea to yourself.

6. Leave the table

Generally, cocktail parties and tea parties take a long time, about two hours or more. Maybe after walking around a few times and knowing some people, you will want to leave soon. At this time, some skills of leaving the table halfway need to be understood. It is common that when a banquet is in full swing, because someone wants to leave, it leads to the result that everyone is dispersed in a hubbub, which makes the organizer anxious. To avoid the consequences of this kind of spoil the fun, when you want to leave halfway, don't say goodbye to the people in the conversation circle one by one, just quietly say hello to two or three people around you and then leave.

when you leave the reception, you must explain and apologize to the host who invited you. You must not disappear in a flash. After greeting the host, you should leave immediately, and don't drag the host to talk endlessly. Taking up the host's time too much will cause him or her to be rude in front of other guests. Some people attend cocktail parties and tea parties, and when they are ready to leave halfway, they will ask everyone they know if they want to go together. As a result, the lively scene was so encouraged by him that it was dismissed early. This kind of noisy thing is the most difficult to be forgiven by the host of the banquet. Therefore, a graceful person should never make this mistake.
