Lesson 5 Key Conversation Calling Ahead

Maitre d': Thank you for calling Bon Appétit. How may I help you?

Patron: Hi. Could I make a reservation for Friday, please?

Maitre d': This Friday? I'm sorry; we're all booked up. How about a week from Friday?

Patron: The 20th? Hmmm. I guess that's OK. Do you have any tables available for 7:00 pm?

Maitre d': I do! How many people is the reservation for?

Patron: Five. Two adults and three kids. Do you have any high chairs?

Maitre d': Yes, we do. I'll set one aside for you. Could I get your name and cell phone number, please?

Patron: Thanks a lot! Sure. It's Thompson, and the number is 555-7826.

Maitre d': Great! I've penciled you in for 7:00 pm on the 20th. See you then!
Patron: Thanks again.
