When arranging an eating tray, start by selecting an appropriate tray:


4. Include utensils: Place utensils on the tray, such as a fork, knife, and spoon. If you're serving food that requires chopsticks or other utensils, make sure to include those as well.
- Choose a tray that is large enough to hold all the items you plan to serve, with some extra space.
- Opt for a tray with raised edges to prevent items from sliding off.
- Consider the material - wood, metal, plastic, or melamine trays are common options. Choose based on the occasion and ease of cleaning.

Follow these key principles when arranging items on the tray:


7. Consider decorations: If you're serving food for a special occasion, you may want to add decorations to the tray. This could include a small vase of flowers, a decorative plate, or a colorful placemat.
- Place the main dish or plate in the center of the tray.
- Arrange other items around the main dish in a logical, balanced way.
- Keep heavier items towards the center for stability.
- Leave some empty space - don't overcrowd the tray.
