  • Arriving Late

    Time is precious for everyone, and it's especially critical when every impression counts. To make a lasting impression, always arrive on time.
  • Ordering Too Much

    Food can help create a more relaxed atmosphere but it shouldn't become the main focus of the event.
  • Ignoring Etiquette

    Ensure that you follow proper table manners to cement the impression you're trying to make.
  • Overdoing Alcohol

    It is best to drink alcohol in moderation and bear in mind that the meal is about business.
  • Rushing Through

    Remember that it is a formal event and pace yourself according to your colleagues or guests.
  • Rudeness To Servers

    Being disrespectful to people in general is unacceptable, and doing so during corporate dinners is even worse.
