When arranging a meal, it is advisable to first consult your guests to choose where to eat.
In this way, they can not only show respect for their guests, but also gain insight into their psychological expectations for the quality of the meal through the restaurant they choose, so as to make appropriate arrangements accordingly.
Sometimes, the guest may give the choice back to the host out of politeness, and the choice can be made in a variety of styles, such as asking the other person whether they prefer Chinese or Western food, and if so, what kind of taste they prefer.
When the guest leaves the decision to the host, it is important to ensure that the budget is sufficient, and that it is reasonable and frugal and generous to avoid giving the impression of being stingy and not wasteful.
There are two things to consider when determining the quality of your meal:
First, the grade of the meal should match the importance of the to-do business.
For example, if the other person has given significant help at work, a decent banquet should be held as a token of appreciation.
On the other hand, if you only express gratitude for daily trivial matters, too much grandeur will show your anger, and even cause the other party to suspect your motives.
When the purpose of the dinner is to ask for help, the grade of the dinner should be adjusted according to the urgency and influence of the matter, and the more important the matter, the specifications of the dinner should be increased accordingly.
Second, the grade of the meal should be consistent with the identity of the guest.
For important and unfamiliar guests, pay special attention to the choice of meal grade.
The selected restaurant should match the identity of the guest, and arrange low-end restaurants for high-level people, showing disrespect and sincerity;
Setting up a luxurious feast for ordinary people is easy to make them feel pressure and constraints.
If a large number of people are invited to the banquet, priority should be given to catering needs of those in higher status and who play a key role in the work to be done.
"Eating" is not only to satisfy the appetite, but also to be a cultural experience, and guests often care not only about the food itself, but also about the dining environment.
Poor environment, even if the table is full of delicacies, can greatly reduce the effect of hospitality.
Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the choice of location for dining. For banquet VIPs, it is advisable to choose a place with exquisite decoration and excellent service, so that guests can feel valued;
To receive those who like to be quiet, a quiet pastoral farm can be arranged;
For those who love beautiful scenery, a garden-style restaurant is suitable;
Hospitality for those who are keen on traditional culture, you can try the imperial dining room with the charm of the palace;
For guests who value privacy, a clubhouse or high-end hotel is ideal.
In short, the principle of site selection should follow the principle of what is desirable.
The principles of economics tell us that it is most economical to get the most value at the lowest cost.
The same is true for treats, which are not encouraged to save costs by arranging meals at shabby restaurants, but understanding and catering to the tastes of guests is the most cost-effective strategy.
Sometimes, a table of farmhouse dishes that match the guest's preferences may be more impressive than a lavish feast. Especially when the purpose of our hospitality is to ask for help, to satisfy the preferences of the guests, to make them happy and willing to lend a hand, is the key to the success of the meal.
To this end, it is necessary to collect information such as the age, occupation, and family status of the guests through direct inquiries and side inquiries in advance, and conduct an in-depth analysis of their psychological needs.
In addition, when choosing a restaurant, you should also pay attention to its internal and external environment and surrounding traffic conditions.
In terms of environment, we pay attention to the decoration style, hygienic conditions, and service level, and ensure that there are private rooms or private seats inside to ensure the privacy of conversations.
When arranging the location of the meal, do not ignore the restaurant environment and the surrounding traffic conditions. The environment covers multiple dimensions such as decoration style, hygiene, service quality, etc., and at the same time, there should be private rooms or private seats in the restaurant to ensure that there is no external interference when talking with guests.
Regarding traffic conditions, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the traffic in the area where the restaurant is located is convenient, whether it is convenient to take a taxi, and whether there are sufficient parking spaces.
As for the time of treat, it is recommended to prefer weekends.
At this time, people are relieved of work pressure and have a more relaxed mentality, which is conducive to creating a pleasant dining atmosphere.
If it can only be scheduled on weekdays, dinner time is usually more appropriate. Observe the various meals in your life, and most of them are concentrated in the evening, not at noon.
One of the reasons is that drinking alcohol is often accompanied by dinners, and if you drink alcohol at noon, it will inevitably affect your afternoon work, and most industries strictly prohibit drinking and going to work.
