Restaurant etiquette

7th February 2011 | By | Category: Knowledge

Nowadays there are many different situations and occasions for visiting a restaurant.
This allows you to master any situation without hesitation, we give you a few pointers:

Entering the restaurant
A relatively outdated rule was: You must always have just the man entered the restaurant and make the greeting.

Nowadays, in certain situations, the woman entered the restaurant at first, as if inviting them to dinner and she is hostess. It very awkward avoidance action would require the information in advance to inform the men only.

The restaurant continues in this episode, the person in charge has the path and places the guests. If several pairs are invited to a meal or while the ladies are placed in the middle. Are there any "competent" to take the masters this task.

Wardrobe
After entering the restaurant, the Lord helps the First Lady of the jacket, then he takes off his clothes.

Upon leaving the restaurant, this is exactly the other way round. First, the man pulls on the jacket / coat, then he helps the lady.

Allocation of tables / guests of the warding
Here you can see a flat rate, the higher the restaurant category, the more likely it is that you have also presented a table or offered.
Although not immediately waits a service representative or a Demonstrator at the restaurant entrance on you, YOU wait a moment and not rush immediately to a free table.

Be discreet and polite!

Cocktails at the BAR
They were asked to wait briefly at the bar in order to take a drink, wait until the service staff will accompany them to the table. The drinks stay at the bar, they are then taken from the service.

Address of the Service Employees
Please remember to immediately: "sir" or "Miss"! These terms are outdated and no longer relevant. Many service personnel respond to those cries less and less.

Try to keep eye contact with the staff and make your presence felt through subtle hand signals. This will help faster.
Rising to the welcome

Upon meeting the man gets up and greeted the other guests. The woman must remain seated. Over time, a woman in business is eating up too.

If you see friends in the restaurant, then you do not scream about, but you just go to them and say that you come back later after eating again.

Napkin
The napkin is placed on your lap. Here it is again taken to the center.
If they have to get up during the meal, place the napkin on your left side.

If you accidentally drops a napkin on the floor, this is a very attentive staff automatically replaced with a new napkin.

Order
The service staff is looking closely at your next appointment, as you have your menu are on the table.
Open = The order is not yet clear
Closed = The client has chosen and the order can be taken

Make sure when ordering process that you always order the women first and then the men get their turn.

Amuse - Gueule
In some restaurants you get a small entrance, a greeting from the kitchen. Please do not say that you have not ordered. The chef wants to give insight into his kitchen.

Translated it means "palate scrawler" or "fork Happen".

Bread
Bread is not cut or smeared with butter, but is broken only. The pieces are bite-size. A little butter on the bread top is of course forbidden.

Cutlery order
You always start from the outside to the inside. This rule helps mostly with a menu with several pieces of cutlery on the table.

Glasses
Glasses always seize the style of the glass at, not the glass itself.

Cheers
A simple "Cheers" is enough, please remember "Cheers".

Wine
The rule of thumb: Red wine with red meat and fits only white wine with white meat is no longer current today. A good service staff will not begin to argue with you. He will recommend the right wine for more white meat or fish.

Mobile / Phone Reception
The restaurant was not the phone ringing loudly. If you absolutely need to be reached by phone, please use the vibrate mode. Go to your phone in a quiet corner.

Pay
Before you order the bill, please clarify who pays. It is unusual to argue then about the bill.

Leaving the restaurant
Here is a lady's door and arrested the men finally left the restaurant.

    I can say from my daily work and from my personal experience report happily that the interest in tableware and restaurant as well as social etiquette especially with young people again increases sharply.
    Equally pleasing, I find that in both professional and private lives, the importance of these things will increase again. The path leads into the upper echelons often via so-called test meal, because both companies want to ensure medium-and publicly traded corporations, their managers can demonstrate that in addition to technical expertise and impeccable manners.
    In personal and social environment, I can see that to know in particular but not exclusively, of course, young women appreciate a gentleman and very cavalier at her side, and even self-love, true to the "Old School" Lady and Lady are.
