They are all fine. Number 4 could be either way depending on what you mean. I might throw a comma into 2: The waiter served in the order in which people were seated, not the women first.

Enoon Thank you
Quick thing if you will
3 We'll have a salad to begin. Should there be a "with" on the end?
5 There are too few people to have a party. Is "too few" natural?
6 If I was due any minute, I wouldn't be going out. Any minute NOW???
I work at a hotel, and need to use a few sentences I'm not sure about
could you tell me

Hello Enoon,
Could you when you get a minute tell me what you think about "begin with" and "any minute now"?
and the link above was to this. Would you tell me which word to use and the corrections needed please?
How would you say this? Is culture same as tradition?
1 There is a tradition/culture that forbids people from touching other people head in that country
