Setting table (putting a table) or place settings refers to how to set up tables with tableware - such as tableware and to serve and eat. The setting for a single restaurant is called a place setting. The practice of dictating the proper arrangement of cutlery varies across cultures and historical periods.

Places settings
Informal settings generally have less equipment and plates but use layouts based on more formal settings. The equipment is arranged in an order and in accordance with the manner in which the restaurant will use it. In the West, forks, plates, butter knives, and napkins are generally placed to the left of dinner plates, and knives, spoons, stemware and cups, cups, and plates on the right. (In contrast, formal arrangements in Armenia place a fork on the right of the dinner plate and informal arrangements in Turkey put a fork on the right plate if not accompanied by a knife) Sauceboat and serving plate, when used, either placed on the table or, more formally, can be stored on the side table.
Informal
In an informal setting, less equipment is used and serving dishes are placed on the table. Sometimes cups and saucers are placed on the right side of the spoon, about 30 cm or 12 inches from the edge of the table. Often, in a less formal setting, napkins should be in wine glasses. However, objects such as napkin rings are very rare in England, Spain, Mexico, or Italy.
Formal
The equipment is placed into about 20cm or 8 inches from the edge of the table, with all placed either on the same invisible baseline or on the same invisible median line. The equipment in the outer position should be used first (for example, soup spoon or salad fork, then dinner fork and dinner knife). Knife blades are turned toward the plate. The glass is placed an inch (2.5 cm) or more above the knife, also in the order of use: white wine, red wine, dessert wine, and water glass.
Formal dinner
The most formal dinners are served from the kitchen. When food is served, next to the center plate (serving plate or dinner plate at dinner, lunchtime, serving plate or lunch plate) at each place there is rolls (usually on a bread plate, sometimes on napkins), napkins , and cutlery (knives and spoons to the right of the center plate, and a fork to the left). Coffee is served in the style of Butler Service in demitasses, and the spoon is placed in the cup to the right of each hand. Serving dishes and utensils are not placed on the table for formal dinners. The only exception in the West for this general rule is the protocol that followed in the Spanish royal court, which was also adopted by the Austrian courts, where all the cutlery was placed to the right of the center plate for each restaurant.
At less formal dinners, not served from the kitchen, forks and dessert spoons can be arranged on a plate, the fork pointing to the right, the spoon pointing to the left.
