The campaign in restaurant for someone is ordinary event, and for someone – responsible action. In any case both the first, and the second should know some rules of a campaign in a decent institution, so to say, not to drop on a table a shrimp and not to strike in a dirt the person. After all in such situation it can be awkward to all associates behind a table. We will talk about restaurant etiquette.  We choose a place
1. Kitchen: choosing a meeting place, it is necessary to recollect one rule: «the outstanding person in an exclusive situation». Each of us is individual, especially in culinary predilections. Think of it in advance. Ask the friend where he would wish to go or he prefers what kitchen: Japanese dry also beaters, the Italian pizza, and can, the American small restaurants or the Irish pubs. It will be very awkward to invite in fish restaurant of the person, which vegetarian.
2. Subtleties: it is the most convenient to go to that restaurant where you already were once so, well be guided in the menu, can advise to the interlocutor a dish and know the prices. And it is even better – to know all subtleties. Here an example from personal experience. In one of the Japanese restaurants sometimes happens cool at the little tables located close with an exit. Therefore it is possible to ask … a cosy blanket! The knowledge of this nuance can help you with dialogue with the interlocutor.
3. Atmosphere: choosing restaurant, necessarily consider the general atmosphere in it. That did not leave as in a song: «And at restaurant, and at restaurant, and there guitars, and there gipsies …». For example, the adult person hardly will estimate loud music, and will choose quieter and weakening conditions. If you were not familiar yet earlier with the interlocutor, consider, that what impression at it will develop about restaurant, such and about you. After all the given place for a meeting has been appointed by you.
4. The account sum: try not to order a considerable quantity of expensive dishes or, on the contrary, to take only a minimum. It will be better, if the first will order inviting that invited smog to orient, that it is possible for itself to allow, and that it is not necessary. And about the one who from you pays, find out in advance, instead of at the waiter. You can pay for yourselves or allow to treat yourselves.
Who pays off: about the supper termination should tell inviting then to ask the account. The woman can pay for itself, having reminded the waiter, that it ordered. To the man the separate account is brought. Payment of alcoholic drinks will be a correct act from its party. In Russia it is accepted to leave 10-15 % from the account of tip if they are not included already in the account. However the most worthy and noble variant is when the man treats the lady. At restaurant 5. Delay: to be late for meetings, undoubtedly, ugly. By rules of etiquette the man should come the first, having specified at the waiter empty seats. But in a life there are such situations when the man is late for a meeting, for example, it has got to a stopper or was late on work. He should insist necessarily on that the lady has independently come into restaurant and has ordered to itself something while for it waits.
6. In clothes: the clothes have also nuances. For example, to help to remove or put on a coat the man, not the worker of an institution should. At a mirror the lady can correct a hairdress only. And here to be painted, correct stockings, to brush the hair it is necessary in a ladies' room.
7. Smoking: whether it is possible to smoke at restaurant? Perhaps, a key rule in this case is the following: to smoke it is possible there where there is an ashtray. Quite logical conclusion. If with you the person who does not smoke nearby sits, try not to undertake a new cigarette while it starts a following dish. It can dampen it ardour. And here in a return situation if the healthy way of life is conducted by you and not against a tobacco smoke, suggest the smoking person not to hesitate. To enter into any premise, including restaurant, with a cigarette in no event it is impossible, you after all do not know, whether halls for smokers are provided in general in it. Also do not forget, that in the different countries of a rule of smoking are various.
8. To a culture question: Despite the fact that what the woman comes into a premise of restaurant the first, the man should, slightly having accelerated a step, to outstrip it and to remove a chair. He can suggest to choose to the lady a place. Places faced to an input if you sit down in the hall centre, or faced to a hall, if you at a wall are considered as the most convenient. Certainly, the man after the lady sits down.
In what to go to restaurant 9. Clothes: If to consider a campaign in restaurant as solemn event and to put on costs accordingly. Does not mean at all, that you should be held down a crinoline and a corset. First of all the clothes should be graceful, modern, picked up with taste. If it seems to you, that after day of work you cannot look worthy, you are mistaken. Since evening think over the image, to carry with itself clothes suitcase, of course, it is not necessary. And here to take accessories and the beautician it is possible. Brighter the make-up and accessories will perfectly prepare you by the evening. Or заношенной to a jacket it hardly will help However, stretched polo-neck. If you have time for preparation of for action pick up an interesting blouse with an original cut or details and a skirt. All depends on what you wish to appear before the interlocutor.
