When business entertaining, always remember the 3 P’s of business etiquette dining: Beginning, middle & end.
PAUSE: Wait for everyone to be served before picking up your flatware to start eating.
PACE: When dining with guests, don’t eat too fast or too slow. Go with the flow of everyone else.
PAYING: Never let the check be placed on the table because everyone awkwardly eyeballs it, even if they are the guest. So, eliminate that uncomfortable moment by giving the server, host, or manager your credit card before clients arrive.
PS: We all deserve a comfortable & confident place at the table.
