From which side should customers be served?

From which side should customers be served?

• A. From Behind
• B. Their Right
• C. From The Front
• D. Their Left

Answer: (B)

In fine-dining etiquette, servers approach and present items from the guest’s right. This keeps the service flow smooth and unobtrusive: the server can pour, present wine, and deliver courses without crossing in front of the guest or blocking conversations. Serving from the left, behind, or in front would disrupt the guest’s view and movement, or create awkward crossing paths. So the right side is the standard choice for serving.
