Eating at luxury restaurants does have several rules that should be followed when eating there. However, these rules now also apply to other regular restaurants. Some restaurant dining etiquette is not written down, so sometimes we forget to do it.
Summarizing from Brightside, here are 5 etiquettes for eating at a restaurant and sometimes it can be considered impolite if you don't do them. Anything?
1. Order Overeating

When eating with your friend, don't order more food from him. This can be considered impolite when you are still eating a lot, while your friend has finished eating.
2. Eat First

Don't eat first when your friend's food order hasn't arrived. Maybe, you will be a little awkward if you eat first while your friends are just watching.
3. Not Tipping

Giving tips is not an obligation when eating at a restaurant. However, if you are satisfied with the service there, there's no harm in tipping more. Can be cash or via application.
In some countries, the tip will be included in the payment bill. However, there are also countries such as China and Japan where tipping is considered impolite.
4. Disposing of Used Napkins on Plates

Paper napkins are better used for cleaning hands and mouth. If a napkin has been used, it must be folded and placed on the side of the plate, not on top of it, as this could be considered rude to the staff. If you drop a napkin, it's best to ask the staff to replace it and don't pick it up yourself.
5. Taking Salt/Sauce from Another Table

Don't take the salt bottles or other sauce or condiment bottles on the table next to you. If you need it, you can ask the restaurant staff.
Wow, it turns out there are some things that are considered impolite. Maybe the rules in each place are different, so it's important for us to know the rules of the place we are going to visit, Beauties.
