Ordering from a Menu
Continuing an interview over lunch, dining with your boss or joining a client for a meal can be daunting. Not knowing what best to order from the menu or how to eat certain foods may leave you feeling insecure and uncomfortable, but with an understanding of dining etiquette, and good table manners you will be seen as an educated and confident team member. Our college dining program teaches students about their individual place settings, the correct placement and use of flatware and glasses, as well as modern table manners. There are five main dining styles, but we concentrate on the subtle differences between the US and European dining. Your table manners, appropriate behavior, and conversation skills will be noticed in business and social settings.
After students master the appropriate dining and communication skills, they will be comfortable attending
any business meal, not to mention boosting their social status with friends and family!
