Etiquette is a path on the way, nor difficult or frightening, it is

basic safety and a foundation of people, and it is basic know-how for
the professional Butler.

14 Butler etiquette rules

1. Make sure that lady is served first
2. Always greet both Mr. & Mrs.…(addressed names)

3. A Butler should always knock three times on the door.

4. Always remind tea time sooner its time has come.

5. A Butler should never speak more than necessary, and when it is
appropriate to do so, it should always be in a clear tone.

6. Never have your hands on your back when serving or delivering.
This is a misprint from the restaurant world and is only valid during
Royal events. The Butler should always keep his/her arms along

their side, with the hands gently folded away.
7. The Butler never points with a finger. Using an open hand is the

correct way.
8. Never leave the principal or a guest without asking: «Would there

be something more Sir/mam»? – This is unforgivable and a Butler
sin. Always verify and reply.

9. A Butler should always have short effective phrases ready for
answering questions. Never yes or no answers.

10. Elegant moves are essential for a Butler. Use soft and round
movements whenever possible.
