Hello classmates, I came across this informative and useful article about business lunch etiquette. I thought everyone could benefit from reading this since we are relative new comers to the business world. First, it is the host’s responsibility to choose place and time; please consider dietary plans. Second, it is wise to have a business relationship with a few restaurants so your guests will be impressed when the waiting staff knows you personally. Third, arrive before your guests do to ensure you have a good table. Fourth, choose meals that can be eaten easily with a knife and fork. Fifth, if your guest is having difficulty deciding on a meal, offer them some choices. Sixth, ensure that your cell phone is turned off. Seventh, respect their time; lunch or dinner should last between 45-60 minutes. Eighth, steer conversation away from political and religious opinions. Ninth, don’t over indulge in drink or food. Tenth, take care of the bill ahead of time and don’t let the bill land at the table to prevent awkwardness.
