Business dining over the holidays?
The way you mind your manners could be a career builder or career buster.
Never underestimate the impression you leave with proper etiquette.
Or... More importantly, the misimpression you leave with improper etiquette.
This time of year, a few useful etiquette pointers might save the day. Or
your career, Or at least the dinner.
How do you rate at a holiday (and everyday) dining situation?
1. Where should you find your bread and butter plate?
a) To the right of the entrée plate
b) To the left of the entrée plate
2. True or False - Bread should be cut into small pieces with a knife.
3. True or False - It is best carry a drink in your left hand at a cocktail
party.
4. True or False - You place your napkin on the chair when leaving the table
during a meal and when finished dining.
5. How do you place your utensils so that the wait staff knows that you are
finished with your meal?
6. How do you hold the glass when drinking red wine?
7. Should you cut your salad?
ANSWERS
1. B - The bread and butter plate is to the left of the entrée plate.
2. False - Never cut bread or rolls. Break off and butter, or dip in olive
oil, one piece at a time.
3. True - place your drink in your left hand, so your right hand is always
available to shake hands. If you do it this way, you’ll never have to wipe a
damp hand before you shake again!
4. False - If you leave the table briefly during the meal, place the napkin
on your chair. At the end of the meal, put your napkin neatly (but not
folded) to the left of your entrée plate on the table.
5. Place your utensils in the Finished Position, which means the knife and
fork are together, facing in the same direction.
6. When drinking red wine, the glass is always held by the stem, but the
hand can come closer to the bowl. When drinking white wine, the hand should
never come too close to the bowl of the glass.
7. Yes, you should cut your salad, but only 2-3 cuts ... just enough to make
bite-sized pieces. If you want it chopped, order it chopped!
