I do think that we need to know the culture of our target clients, especially about what acceptable food to be ordered and ritual thing before eating them. For example, we need to ask if they are vegetarians or not, do they eat meat, etc.

When I eat out with a client, I would let him/her to choose the foods s(he) likes. If s(he) asked for my recommendations, I would ask if there is anything s(he) does not eat.

Yes, it is important to consider table etiquette when eating lunch with a client. This can include things such as arriving on time, turning off your phone, making conversation, waiting for your host to start eating before you begin, using utensils correctly, and not talking with your mouth full. Additionally, it is important to be mindful of any cultural or dietary differences and to be respectful of them. Overall, following good table manners can help create a positive and professional atmosphere, making the lunch more enjoyable for everyone involved.

I think it is best to observe that. In my case, I have not experienced that dining with a client. I have just started my business offline. In case, it happens, I can apply my home economics lessons hehehe.

Yes i believe this is very important, how you carry yourself matters a lot when it comes to business. People tend to judge based on what they see at the moment.

Understanding what our clients like to eat and any dietary needs they have is very important. This helps us make sure they have a good experience when dining with us.

Eating quickly and voraciously can give off the impression that you are more focused on the food than the conversation, which can be seen as disrespectful.
