the General rules of laying

Table layout spend consistently: nakrytie a table cloths; laying by plates; laying by devices; laying by glass (crystal) ware; raskladyvanie napkins; arrangement of devices for spices, vases with the flowers.

Nakrytie a table a cloth. Cloths display on tables on one in the curtailed kind. Having developed it on a table and taking both hands for edges of one of the parties, a cloth lift, and then sharply lower hands downwards, as though stirring up. The air cushion formed between a table and the developed cloth, gives the chance to shift it in any party and accurately to lay in the necessary position so that its central folds (longitudinal and cross-section) have laid down strictly on the table centre, and the ends hanged down in regular intervals from different directions on 25-35 lower see svisanie cloths stirs to sitting visitors, and smaller neestetichno. Corners of cloths should fall strictly against legs of a table and to close them.

At nakryvanii a table a cloth it cannot be rumpled, pulled for corners and prishchipyvat fingers.

If a rectangular table it is necessary to cover with two cloths, the first of them steljut on opposite from a front entrance in a hall or the main pass to it the party. On the second, top, cloths twist an edge inside so that the direct equal line was formed. Subsidiary tables also cover with cloths or napkins.

If in a holding time it is required to replace a cloth, to make it it is necessary imperceptibly, thus the table cover should not be bared. Do it so. In the beginning the waiter prepares a table: for this purpose it clears the table ware on a subsidiary table or a sideboard then the used cloth tightens from a table end face on itself that the cloth opposite side covered a table cover, but did not hang down. If the table costs at a wall, it remove. Then on a sideboard prepare a pure cloth and develop it so that it remained combined four times (twice and in parallel still twice). The centre of a cloth and two free edges should be turned to the waiter.

The Prepared cloth the waiter takes both hands equally spaced from its centre on width of a table. The big and index fingers it grasps the top edge of a cloth, and other fingers supports the bottom edge and the middle. Holding a cloth in such kind in hands (to put it on the used forbid sanitary rules), the waiter approaches to a table and does a wave by hands upwards and forward so that all cloth has revealed and has started to fall for an opposite end face of a table (the big and index fingers it all time holds the top edge). After the cloth has revealed and has started to fall for an opposite end face of a table, the waiter quickly lowers hands on a table cover, grasps the released three fingers the used cloth and does fast movement on itself. Thus it removes the bottom (used) cloth, and top (pure) puts on its place. There is it simultaneously as the waiter holds both those and other cloths. If necessary it slightly corrects a pure cloth, and used carries away and puts in the bottom box of a sideboard. Such way is convenient at cloth replacement by a quadrangular table.
