3. Taking-a-Seat Buffet (SB)

Although tables (mainly large size round-table) are arranged and the form of taking a seat is taken in SB, dishes are put on the dish boards. Each guest goes to take those dishes freely, brings back to his own seat and eats. Although the usual buffet is stand-up meal form, since there is also often form called such SB, please keep it in mind. SB is suitable for the meeting with many guests to an acquaintance, and the party on which many hours were fully spent. It is the style often used for a wedding etc. recently.

The contents of service and the method of standby bear a strong resemblance to CB. However, a tumbler is arranged in many cases on a table, and in order for the arranged glasses to perform a toast, there is no necessity for a welcome drink. When guests give a toast, you serve a drink for the table which you take charge of. Refer to the figure for the table setting in SB (in the case of European food).

Chair cover

In order to impress a high-class feeling and feeling of purity, the party which uses chair covers is increasing. Please learn how to have put the chair cover in order. Since dirt (shoe polish) etc. is conspicuous in a place underfoot, the chair cover of ivory should exchange for a new one. Chair covers which show the hall gorgeously must not be full of wrinkles, or must not be dirty. Please check them well.
