Business Dining Etiquette

You are free to say whatever you want as long as you are comfortable, regardless of how your partner feels.

Throughout the lesson, use the spoon or some other utensil from outside to inside.

When you have arrived, place all of your personal belongings on the table.

If you order and eat soup, you are free to slurp as much as you like.

Knowing the rules and being respectful, is one of the most effective ways to win your partner's heart in business.

To make it easier to eat and engage in conversation with your partner, avoid cutting your food too large.

When you have finished dining, just leave your chair without returning it to its original location.

It is fine to order food that you have not eaten before and that is tough to consume, even though it is messy.

It is important to first learn about the backgrounds of most of the table's guests.

If you do not like the meal, it is fine not to complain to the host or server.
