Tips and Pointers

If you don’t understand the server’s

words, just ASK.

Read the restaurant’s menu on the

internet

If server asks too early, tell him/her

“Give me a few more minutes please.”

Tips and Pointers

If you want to stay longer after eating,

tell your server

◦ “Can we stay here longer?”

Don’t be nervous! You are a guest in

the restaurant, and you are paying

them money.

PRACTICE! Get a friend to help you

out first, and then slowly try it out by

yourself.
