Beverages are traditionally served from which side?

• A. Right
• B. Left
• C. Front
• D. Behind

Answer: (A)

Beverage service follows a standard flow that keeps the guest comfortable and the server's movements efficient. Serving from the right side allows the server to pour and present with the right hand, place the glass smoothly on the guest’s table without reaching across them, and maintain a predictable rhythm around the table. Crossing from the left, or coming from the front or behind, tends to be less comfortable for the guest and can disrupt conversation or safety, making the right side the most practical and courteous choice in traditional service.
