Mine is first come, first serve. 
I.e. The dog that came first gets everything first. Jax gets his food down first, my attention first, etc... then Joey, then Kenzie. This also helps with Jax since he is a reactive dog. It helps him think he's top dog.
We don't have the greeting issue because Jax & Kenz go to work with me and Joey goes with my boyfriend. If we leave all the dogs and come back - they are let out of their crates in the same order: Jax, Joey, Kenzie after we've been home for a little bit. Then they go outside or we just ignore them for about 5-10 minutes. Then they get attention when they've calmed down.
I make sure to give each dog one on one time with me every day. Generally it's not a big issue because they know how to take turns.
