Chinese food table setting steps

First, spread the tablecloth.

Spreading tablecloth is the process of spreading tablecloth comfortably and evenly on the dining table.

Then the service staff should wash their hands and carefully check every tablecloth to be laid. If the tablecloth is found to be damaged, greasy and wrinkled, it can't be used any more.

Finally, the seats should be determined according to the decoration and layout of the restaurant. When operating, the restaurant waiter should pull the assistant chef's dining chair behind the right dining chair. The waiter in the restaurant should stand on the assistant chef's dining chair, about 40 cm away from the dining table, and put the selected tablecloth on the assistant chef's dining table.

When laying the tablecloth, open the tablecloth with both hands and hold it well, lean forward slightly, and gently shake it out in the direction of the host's seat with the strength of your arm. In the process of throwing and shaking, it should be done properly and skillfully, and it should be shaken and put away at one time.

This paving method is mostly used in snack bars or small-scale restaurants, or when guests sit around the table and wait for meals, or when the place is narrow, this push-pull method is used to pave the table.

(2) Vibration paving. That is, open the tablecloth with both hands, hold the tablecloth with both hands and stand upright after parallel discount. Shake the tablecloth forward with the strength of two wrists and lay it flat on the dining table. This paving method is suitable for spacious restaurants or when there are no guests sitting around.

(3) casting a net. That is, open the tablecloth with both hands, fold it in half in parallel, stand with your right foot in front and your left foot behind. Lift the uncovered tablecloth to your chest with your hands, with your arms parallel to your shoulders and your upper body turning left. When your right arm rotates with your body, the tablecloth will spread forward obliquely. When you throw the tablecloth in front, the upper body will turn back and stand back to its normal position. At this time, the tablecloth should be laid flat on the dining table. When throwing, the action should be natural and natural. This paving method is mostly used for wide venues or technical competitions.

3. Preventive measures

When laying a tablecloth, the tablecloth should not touch the ground. The intersection of the folds in the middle of the tablecloth should be right in the middle of the dining table. The front convex seam of the tablecloth is upward, the center line is opposite to the auxiliary main seat, and the four corners hang straight. The drooping part is equidistant from the ground. The laid tablecloth should be flat and wrinkle-free. After the tablecloth is laid, the pulled dining chair should be put back in place.
