how to make a proper table setting?what is the proper way of serving a costumer if your a waiter?

Question

preparing table setting and proper serving to a client if you a waiter of a certain restaurant.

Answer 1

Fork on the left side with spoon and knife on the right side and the plate in the middle. You can put the cup on either side but I think it's supposed to be the right side and when you serve you serve on the right side of the customer.

Answer 2

Plates and Bowls
Dinner plates should be placed approximately 2 inches from the table's edge, centered on the placemat (if using placemats) or squarely in front of each chair.
Soup bowls are placed on top of the dinner plate.
Salad plates are placed to the left of and just above the forks.
The bread plate should be placed to the right and slightly above the salad plate.
When serving multiple courses, many hosts will opt to serve them in courses and place only one or the other dish at the original table setting. For example, if soup will be served first, the soup bowl will be placed on top of the dinner plate and the salad dish will be brought out after the soup bowl and spoon has been cleared.
Silverware
Silverware should be placed on the table in the order it will be used; silverware that will be used first should be found on the farthest left and right sides of the plate.
Forks are placed to the left of the dinner plate; knives and spoons go to the right.
Knives should be placed with their cutting-edge toward the dinner plate, except the butter knife which should be laid flat on a bread plate.
Utensils should be about 1/2-inch away from the plate or each other, and they should also be lined up evenly from their bottoms.
Avoid placing more silverware than the meal calls for.
Dessert silverware can be originally placed at the table setting if you wish. The dessert fork or spoon should be centered above and parallel to the dinner plate.
If you will be serving dishes that require specialty silverware, be sure to arrange the silverware on either side of the plate according to the order in which they will be eaten.
Cups and Glasses
Water glasses should be placed above the dinner knife, with other drinking glasses arranged neatly nearby the water glass. Often drinking glasses are arranged in a triangular formation.
Coffee cups and saucers may be placed on the table to the right of the knife and spoon.
Other Items
Napkins are commonly placed on the plate, to the left of the forks or inside of a drinking glass.
Name cards are always a good idea for place settings, if the dinner party is large. Place the card above the dessert utensil, to the left of the drinking glasses.

Serve from the left, remove from the right.
Take glass off the table to refill, leave coffee or tea cup on the table. Use a new glass for alsoholic beverage refills.
Always hold a glass at the base never touch the rim. Do not rush the guests.

Answer 3

I am not totally sure on the table setting issue. Alhough I am pretty sure you can just google it. However if you are able to circle around the table, the the proper serving technique is to serve on the customers left side and pick up and dishes or cups from their right side.

Answer 4

An art that is lost in most establishments these days, glad you asked, good question.

Plate centered, a charger can be placed under the dinner plate. Soup bowl on dinner plate, forks to the left of the plate, dinner fork closest to the plate, Salad fork to the left of that (think, what is eaten first) a folded napkin to the left of that. Butter plate centered above the forks with butter knife atop plate. Dinner knife to the right of the plate, soup spoon to the right of that. Dessert spoon and cake fork centered above the plate. and Water glasses and wine glasses above the plate on the right side.
Water glass first, then white wine glass to the right of that and red wine glass to the right of that.
Serve from the left, clear from the right. Always clear away plates, bowls, and utensils before serving the next course.

Hope this helps!

Answer 7

confident, i can't stand it while people have undesirable manners while ingesting. although, "appropriate eqiquette" concepts do no longer count to me in any respect. Having a serviette on my lap and not holding my elbows on the table do it for me.

Answer 9
