    The document discusses various etiquette guidelines for business dining including greetings, handshakes, name tags, napkins, silverware usage and table manners.

    When meeting someone, rise if seated and smile while extending your hand for a firm 3-4 second handshake. It is not necessary to wait for a woman to initiate the handshake. Both genders should be ready to shake hands.

    Name tags should be placed on the right hand side of the front shoulder area for easy visibility during handshakes. Napkins should be unfolded on the lap and left there until finished, then folded on the left side of the plate.

    Dining Etiquette

    Greetings
    When meeting someone…
    – rise if you are seated.
    – smile and extend your hand.
    – repeat the other person’s name
    in your greeting.
     A good handshake is important—it
    should be firm and held for three-
    four seconds.
     In the today’s business world it is
    not necessary to wait for a female
    to initiate the handshake. Females
    & males should both be ready to
    initiate the handshake.
    The Name Tag

     Name Tag should be


    placed on the right
    hand side of your front
    shoulder area
     The logic: When
    shaking hands it allows
    for a natural
    progression for the
    eyes to the name tag
    Formal Dinners
    The Worlds Highest Formal
    Dinner
    Place Setting

    Start from the outside and work your way in


    Silverware
     If a piece of silverware drops,
    leave it and ask for a
    replacement from your server.
     Silverware should not touch the
    tablecloth once used.
     Place knife at the top of the
    dinner plate, facing in, after use.
     When you are finished, place
    your knife and fork in the center
    of your plate.
    Napkin
     Once seated place the
    napkin, unfolded, on
    your lap and leave it
    there until you are
    finished.
     Once you are finished
    place the napkin folded
    loosely to the left of
    your plate.
     A napkin is used to
    dab the corners of
    you mouth.
     If you need to
    leave the table
    during the meal,
    place the napkin
    on the chair and
    slide the chair
    under the table.
    Posture and Elbows
     Sit straight and try not to
    lean on the table.
     Keep your elbows off the
    table and close to the body
    when you are eating.
     However, when you stop to
    talk, it is okay to rest your
    elbows on the table and
    lean forward.
    Serving Food
     Pass food to the right.
     Transfer dip to your
    plate.
     Plates are served on
    the left.
     Dishes removed from
    the right.
     Pass the salt and
    pepper together.
    Dining
     Wait until everyone is
    seated before eating.
     When dining with others,
    everyone should start and
    finish at the same time. If
    you are a fast eater try to
    pace yourself. You could
    make the others feel
    uncomfortable if you finish
    before they do. 
     When you are finished
    eating do not push your
    plate away from you.
     Take small bites, keep your
    mouth closed and finish
    chewing before continuing
    your conversation.
     Try not to gulp your food, it
    isn't very attractive.
     Do not blow on food that is
    hot. Wait until it cools or eat
    from the side of the bowl,
    when having soup.
     Bread and rolls should be broken with
    your fingers, in small pieces and
    buttered one piece at a time.
     Cut several pieces of meat(or main
    course) at a time.
     Use your knife to cut lettuce if needed.
    Excusing Yourself and
    Problems
     Be discrete if you have problem with the food.
     Remove food the same way it went in-on silverware.
     Excuse yourself, if you have to leave the table.
     Turn your head from the table when you cough or sneeze.
     If someone uses your bread plate as their own do not
    inform them of their mistake, simply use your dinner
    plate. Do not use the bread plate on your right as a
    replacement.
    Toast
    “There are good ships,
    and there are wood ships,
    The ships that sail the sea.
    But the best ships, are
    friendships,
    And may they always be."
