How It Helps Your Business English
The green flags are researching the restaurant in advance, basic table protocol, following the most senior person's lead, and active listening. The red flags are phone use, poor treatment of service staff, raising business at the wrong moment, and ordering food that is hard to eat. Later sections cover who pays, how formal to be, and three settings a professional meets most often.
Use the two flag lists as a self-check before a meal that matters, above all an interview lunch, where the meal is part of the assessment. The payment and timing sections answer the questions most people get wrong: when to reach for the bill, and when to turn the conversation to work. Read the scenario that matches your own meal, take the three or four points from it, and leave the rest.
