Interview at cafe

[oldbird]

If invited for an interview at a cafe or a f&b outlet, what are the etiquettes to observe when ordering and paying for beverages?

• Go dutch?
• The interviewer who invited the interviewee to the cafe?
• The interviewee?

Should interviewee and interviewer(s) meet-and-greet outside first, then enter and place order and find table together?

Is it OK for interviewee to arrive slightly earlier (e.g. 5-10 mins) and get a table/drink first?

Go with the flow. Normally the interviewer should foot the bill since he initiated the interview.

Just wait at the designated meeting place, be it outside the restaurant or inside. No need to get a table first.
