The waitress, Mary, asked the guests at table ten if she could take their food orders.
W: Mai I take your food order now?
Mary informed the customers about the specialties on the menu for that week.
W: The fresh oysters and salmon are our specialties this week.
Mary wrote down the details of the order on the food order form.
LC: The oysters to start with and salmon to follow.
W: Yes, madam.
A guest ordered the fillet steak, so Mary asked how he wanted his steak cooked.
W: How would you like your steak, sir? Well done, medium or rare?
MC: Medium, please.
Mary had to describe the dish on the menu for another customer.
MC: Tell me, please, is artichoke a vegetable?
W: Yes, sir. It is served stewed with different sauces.
When another guest asked Mary for something that was no longer available Mary apologized and recommended an alternative that was equally light.
MC: I’ll have the asparagus as a starter.
W: I’m very sorry, sir, but we’ve run out of asparagus. Would you like to try the cucumber mousse instead? It’s light and very tasty.
MC: All right, that sounds good.
Mary asked if anyone wanted an extra order of vegetables or salad.
W: Would anyone like to order extra vegetables or salad with the main course?
When all the guests have placed their orders Mary repeated the whole order back to them.
W: May I repeat your order? That’s two cucumber mousse, one oyster, and one mussel salad.
Then Mary asked the guests for confirmation of the order if it is correct.
W: Is that correct?
MC: Yes, that’s right.
Mary then told the guests that she will be back soon with their meal.
W: Thank you. I’ll be back soon with your meal.
