Allie orders something to drink at the cafe.

  • Staff : What would you like?
    注文はお決まりですか?
  • Allie : I’d like a tall iced coffee, please.
    Sサイズのアイスコーヒーをお願いします (or下さい)
  • Staff : Anything else?
    他に、ご注文はありますか?
  • Allie : Can I get a cinnamon roll too?
    シナモンロールも頂けますか (orもらえますか)
  • Staff : Sure. The total comes to 900 yen. Will that be for here or to go?
    かしこまりました。お会計は900円になります。店内でお召し上がりですか、それともお持ち帰りですか?
  • Allie : For here, please. (She gives him 1,000 yen)
    店内でお願いします。
  • Staff : Here's your change. We'll bring the food to your table. Please take a seat wherever you like.
    こちらがお釣りになります。お持ちしますので、お好きな席にお座りください。
  • Allie : Thank you.
    ありがとうございます。

Note

  • 注文
    When you want to say “I’d like to order”, you can say “注文をお願いします”.
  • (~を)お願いします/~を下さい
    When you ask someone to do something, they can be used and they are interchangeable. “お願いします” is a phrase and you can just say it by pointing out what you order, but ”下さい” needs the object with particle “を”.
  • 頂けますか/もらえますか
    When you ask someone about whether you can get something or not, they can be used. “頂けますか” is more polite than “もらえますか”.
  • 店内 vs 持ち帰り
    You can just say “店内で”, “持ち帰りで”. You can also say “店内で頂きます”, “持ち帰ります”.
  • お釣り
    You can say “お釣りを下さい” or “お釣りをもらえますか” to get your change.
