Food Photography Challenge - Week 24 | "Capture, Click, Compete!" | Restaurant etiquette

Everyone should follow the rules of restaurant etiquette to make a good impression about themselves. Observing the rules of etiquette will help you have a great evening and leave a good impression on others. Not sure how to behave in a restaurant? Relax and have fun. But don't forget about etiquette.

We all like to have lunch and dinner at home. But sometimes this consistency becomes boring and you want to go to an expensive restaurant and try real culinary masterpieces.
Often, ladies are invited to a restaurant by their fans, grooms or husbands. How to make a good impression about yourself? What should you say to the waiter and what can you ask him?
It often seems to us that nothing can spoil the holiday, destroy the festive atmosphere. But a lot depends on behavior. If everything is observed correctly, the good memories of the holiday will remain.

It is better to reserve a table in advance, but if the decision to go to the restaurant is spontaneous, you need to solve all problems with the administrator. You should not immediately enter the hall and take the first available seat. After all, maybe the table is already reserved by other guests.
The administrator is usually located at his desk near the entrance. If he is not there, then you have to wait, he can handle the visitors who came before you.

So, the administrator invited you to a table. Now the question arises: how to behave in a restaurant, how to communicate with a waiter?

Relax and feel relaxed... Remove unnecessary stress, enjoy the evening. Pleasant atmosphere, beautiful design of the hall, gallant waiters, wonderful clothing - all this is the hero of the evening. Enjoy yourself.
Start eating with everyone... If your food has been brought, and other people from your company have not yet, you do not need to immediately grab the fork and knife and use them for their intended purpose. You can warn the waiter in advance to bring the food at the same time.
Take into account the specifics of the restaurant, forget about your tastes. If you go to a fish restaurant, don't order meat. At the famous restaurant that serves delicious steaks, you don't have to limit yourself to just salad.
Don't be afraid to ask the waiter questions. If the menu contains incomprehensible dish names, ask the waiter what the dish is made of. This is especially important if you are allergic to certain foods.
Always ask for a price if you are interested. There's no shame in that. The waiter can suggest the restaurant's signature dish or you can ask the price.
Leave a tip. According to the rule of etiquette, you should leave 10% (of the value of the check) or more to the waiter "for tea". It's a shame not to leave a tip if you've been well served.

Visitors usually do not talk to the waiters. The restaurant employee must accept the order, serve the guest at the highest level and ask to pay for the dinner. Visitors should rest well and not worry about doing something wrong or saying something wrong.

Communicate politely with the waiter and he will help you choose the most delicious dish in this restaurant. Next time, the waiter will definitely tell you which dish the chef found very tasty and which is better to try next time.

We go to a restaurant not only to eat, but also to chat with a partner or friend, to meet loved ones, on family holidays, etc. conversation during a meal often depends on the degree of pleasure received and the success of a business meeting. Knowing the restaurant etiquette will allow you not to spoil the mood of yourself and those present.
