Food. No matter what you're negotiating, the cornerstone of any power lunch is treating clients and associates to fantastic food.

Service. The most amazing meal or business deal can be thwarted by terrible service. Verified guest reviews can provide rich insight, eliminating the possibility for a poor dining experience. Contact the restaurant to inquire about their experience with hosting business lunches. If they're lacking in experience or qualifications, it's best to look elsewhere.
