When the boss wants you to order food at the dinner party, you can only order food with low EQ, and you can’t accept the practice of high EQ.

Maybe in the eyes of some newcomers in the workplace, the main content of a dinner party is to eat and then go home to sleep. But in fact, the dinner party has a different meaning for the workplace. It is an important occasion to show emotional intelligence, and it is also a place that can attract the attention of leaders. It is a place that cannot be ignored.
For a long time, dinner party entertainment has been closely related to the workplace, and many companies cannot develop without the fierce negotiation of the boss at the dinner party. Especially for those sales-type companies, in order to successfully sign customers, dinner is an essential part.
The same is true for ordinary employees. Meals have the function of building interpersonal relationships and enriching contacts, which can lay a solid foundation for subsequent development. In the dinner party, there are also many small details worth paying attention to. It is necessary to understand the rules in advance to avoid mistakes. Then, if the leader wants you to order food at a dinner party, you should order casually if you have a low emotional intelligence.
- Understand the preferences of customers
This is naturally essential. Everyone has different personalities and living habits. Naturally, there are also some differences in diet. If you don’t know the preferences of the guests first, you can just order dishes with the menu. There is always a chance that you will order dishes that guests hate.
If this happens, it will undoubtedly lead to the dissatisfaction of the guests. Even if the guest is very cultivated and won't show it on his face, he obviously already regards you as a person with low emotional intelligence, and the original good impression will be greatly reduced in an instant, which is not conducive to the follow-up communication.
Try to think about it from another point of view. When you are invited to a partner's dinner, the other party doesn't know when they order, and just grabs the menu and makes a mess.
When the dishes are on the table, you find out that some of them are dishes that you hate, what are your thoughts? Is it not in the mood to continue eating in an instant?
- The taste cannot be single
Since it is a dinner party, there must be different guests participating, and you need to work hard on ordering. In addition to understanding the preferences of guests, you need to focus on the taste of the dishes.
As the saying goes, "many mouths are difficult to tune", which means that it is difficult for everyone to have different tastes. Therefore, when ordering, you need to pay attention to the fact that the taste cannot be single, and it must be maintained in the middle state, that is, the state that everyone can accept.
For example, some people like spicy flavors, and some people like light flavors. If these two kinds of people participate in the same dinner, there are only two situations in ordering: one is to have half the spicy and half of the light; the other is to choose the middle value of the two flavors.
Looking at it this way, I believe that most people will choose the latter case, which is to choose the middle value. Only in this way can it be liked by most people and accepted by a small number of people.
- Signature dishes cannot be missing
The last point must be the signature dish of the restaurant. Since it can be called a signature dish, it naturally shows that it has great characteristics. No matter in terms of taste or vision, it is the most popular in restaurants.
After all, in addition to business exchanges, the guests participating in the dinner are to taste the food. Compared with other dishes, the signature dishes are obviously more representative, and they can also represent the highest level of the hotel.
So, signature dishes are a must. In addition, you also need to order some special dishes, which can also enrich the atmosphere of the dinner party and add a lot to yourself.
