Answer to Question 1

The table settings will vary from no setting at all until the customer arrives or orders, to a paper napkin with a fork, knife (blade turned toward fork), and teaspoon placed on top of the napkin and to the right of the counter seat as the customer would be seated. Or the table setting could include a place mat with the knife (blade turned inward), teaspoon to the right, a fork and napkin to the left. Water is placed above and slightly to the right of the tip of the knife and if coffee or tea is served, the cup and saucer or mug is placed to the right of the teaspoon with the angle angled at 4 o'clock.

Answer to Question 2

The server should typically suggest two of the possible choices within each food and beverage category, so that the guest's choice will be made easier, as compared to five or six choices.
