PRACTICE

EXAMPLE 1

Server: Good evening and welcome to our restaurant! My name is Sarah and I’ll be your server tonight. Can I start you off with something to drink?

Customer: Yes, I’ll have a glass of red wine, please.

Server: Certainly, would you like a specific type of red wine? We have a variety of options to choose from.

Customer: Actually, I’m not sure. What would you recommend?

Server: Well, our house red is a Merlot, which is medium-bodied with flavors of blackberry and plum. We also have a Pinot Noir, which is lighter and has notes of cherry and raspberry. If you’re looking for something a bit more full-bodied, I recommend our Cabernet Sauvignon, which has bold flavors of black currant and oak.

Customer: Hmm, I think I’ll go with the Cabernet Sauvignon.

Server: Great choice! Would you like a glass or a bottle?

Customer: Just a glass for now, please.

Server: Certainly. And for you, sir?

Second customer: I’ll have a beer, please. Do you have any local craft beers on tap?

Server: Yes, we do! We have a local IPA that’s very popular, as well as a blonde ale and a seasonal stout. Which one would you like to try?

Second customer: I’ll have the IPA, please.

Server: Great choice. And would you like a pint or a half-pint?

Second customer: I’ll have a pint, please.

Server: Alright, one glass of Cabernet Sauvignon and one pint of our local IPA. I’ll get those for you right away.

(After serving the drinks)

Server: Is there anything else I can get for you at the moment?

Customer: Actually, could we also get a bottle of sparkling water, please?

Server: Of course! I’ll bring that right out for you.

(After serving the water)

Server: Alright, now are you ready to order food, or do you need more time with the menu?

EXAMPLE 2

here’s another example scenario with a different flow:

Server: Good afternoon, and welcome to our cafĂ©! My name is John, and I’ll be your server today. Can I start you off with something to drink?

Customer: Hi John, I’ll have a latte please.

Server: Great choice! Would you like that with regular or almond milk?

Customer: I’ll go with regular milk, please.

Server: Sure thing. And for you, ma’am?

Second customer: I’ll have a cup of tea, please. Do you have any herbal options?

Server: Absolutely! We have a range of herbal teas, including peppermint, chamomile, and lemon ginger. Which one would you like?

Second customer: I think I’ll go with the peppermint, thanks.

Server: Excellent choice! And would you like any honey or lemon with your tea?

Second customer: Yes, please. Some honey would be lovely.

Server: Perfect. I’ll bring those right out for you.

(After serving the drinks)

Server: Is there anything else I can get for you at the moment?

Customer: Actually, do you have any pastries or cakes available?

Server: Yes, we have a range of sweet treats available. Would you like me to bring out our dessert menu for you to look at?

Customer: That would be great, thank you.

Server: Here you go. Our options today include a chocolate cake, a raspberry tart, and a lemon poppyseed muffin.

Customer: Hmm, I think I’ll go with the chocolate cake.

Server: Wonderful choice! Would you like that warmed up or served cold?

Customer: Warm, please.

Server: Absolutely. I’ll bring that out for you shortly.

(After serving the dessert)

Server: How is everything tasting so far?

Customer: Everything is delicious, thank you.

Server: I’m glad to hear that. Is there anything else I can get for you before you head out?

Second customer: Actually, could we get the bill, please?
