All I know is I'm not supposed to order the most expensive thing on the menu

Can I buy a soda? Is alcohol acceptable?

Can I have add-ons like bacon/egg to a burger?

Can i get an appetizer/side dish?

Can I place a to go order like when my parents pays?

To clarify, my boss isnt rich: he only makes 12% more than me

Let her bring it up first

Company card? Order anything you want.
On your boss' dime? Order conservatively.
If you're eating with people who have the power to promote you, then no alcohol unless they do and never more than them.

Hes paying out of pocket. How conservatively?

Only get an alcoholic drink if your boss is getting one. Ordering a soda is fine. Just stick to one entree. If he suggests apps, then get them to share.

Half-way between the lowest-priced entree and the highest-priced. So if the cheapest item is $15 and the most expensive is $45, then pick something that costs no more than $30, preferably less.

As far as drinks go, see what everyone else orders. You might be able to get away with having one beer but no more.
