 Seating Etiquette

• Firstly you should arrive at the table before the guest.
•  Secondly when you reach the table you should be standing behind the chair.

Note. We should seat the ladies first then proceed

around the table in a clockwise motion and seat the host last. In the absence of ladies the other gentlemen should be seated first and the host last

•    Place both hands on the back of the chair and pull out the chair approx 2.5 feet to      allow the guest room to move into the space provided. 

 Note. Look at the guest and either nod or say the following phase “ Excuse me Sir or Madame “ signaling toward the space.

• Allow the guest to move into the space, once the guest has moved, hold the back of the chair again with both hands. At the same time place you right foot on the based of the chair and push the chair gently back allowing the guest time to seat down slowly.
