Business Etiquette How to sit in the dining position?

1. Family gatherings. Family gatherings are generally sorted according to seniority and age. That is, whoever invites a guest, the oldest or the oldest should sit in a prominent position facing the door. Next, they can be arranged in order of generation or age.

Sometimes it is necessary to arrange a child that the elderly like next to the elders, usually from the next generation. If the elders are entertaining, they may have to assign a person to sit near the door and be responsible for all the hospitality. If it is a junior who is entertaining, the guest will naturally sit close to the door.

2. Friends gathering. Gatherings of friends, classmates, comrades-in-arms, etc., generally speaking, who invites guests and who sits in the position facing the door, also called "sitting in the east" or "the owner", sometimes the owner may also give up this position to a person with a higher position or high morality, and the rest can be arranged in order of age. Because they are all friends, they sometimes don't care about these, and it doesn't matter who sits where, but others won't sit in the position of the owner.

3. Reception of guests. Receiving guests belongs to the realm of diplomacy, and there can be more attention to it. Generally speaking, there are two types of reception: the host and the guest.

There must be at least two people on the main side, one is the "main escort" and the other is the "deputy escort". A "deputy escort" is generally a friend, colleague or subordinate of the "main escort". The "main escort" should sit in the place directly opposite the door, in order to do the best for the landlord, and the "deputy escort" should sit directly opposite the "main escort", that is, near the door.

The assistant escort is not only specifically responsible for the entertainment work, but also more able to drink. The right side of the escort should be the guest of honor, and the left side should be the guest of honor; To the right of the accompaniment is the number three person among the guests, and to the left is the number four person. The rest of the staff can sit as they please.

When the service staff pours the wine, they do so in a clockwise order, starting with the guest of honor. Sometimes when there are many people, there are one or two people to accompany them. A side escort sits in the middle of the left side of the main escort and the right side of the deputy escort, with the fifth person on the right and the sixth person on the left; If the main side is four present and two side accompaniments, the fourth side accompanies the right side of the main side, the side side of the secondary side accompaniment, and the other side accompaniment, the four side accompaniments are in the shape of a cross.

But in the north, the guests are arranged in order, one left and one right. I prefer the former arrangement,

The front is the host (main accompaniment), the right side of the host is the host and guest, the left side of the host in turn, and the opposite side of the host is the payment accompaniment. As long as these few are in good locations, the others are easy to say.

Facing the door is the host, and then from right to left, according to the status of the guest.

Generally, the east is the most noble position, the south is second, the west is even worse, and the north is generally a companion sitting, dispensable.

Generally, the most distinguished person should sit in the opposite seat of the position directly opposite the door, and the seat sitting in the opposite side of the door is generally the person who invites the guest, which is generally understood to be more convenient to settle the bill, and the experienced waiter will also find that person to ask for the bill, and the one who sits in order is to arrange his closest person next to the distinguished guest, or the person who can adjust the atmosphere of the unit. That's it!

The host is in the right position, and then the guests sit in a circle from right to left according to the height of the stance.
