Well, hey, welcome to this video on ordering food in English at a restaurant.

Before we get started though, I wanted to mention two things.

1000
00:32
And number two, if you're worried that I'm going to eat all this food myself,
8
32780
4720
00:37
I'm not.
9
37500
940
00:38
My kids are eagerly waiting at home to see what food I order and what food I bring
10
38440
6200
00:44
home today.
11
44649
1000
00:45
So, the first thing we're going to order is a pizza.
12
45649
3651
00:49
In this restaurant, I'm going to order a small pepperoni pizza, and I'm going to use the
13
49300
4699
00:53
phrase "I would like to order."
14
53999
3610
00:57
Or the short form of it would be, "I'd like to order."
15
57609
2220
00:59
So, let's go in and order a small pepperoni pizza.
16
59829
3710
01:05
Hi, how can I help you?
17
65060
1220
01:06
Yes, I would like to order a small pepperoni pizza.
18
66290
2390
01:08
Is it for pickup?
19
68680
1840
01:10
Yes. For pickup, please.
20
70520
1280
01:12
Yep.
21
72000
820
01:13
What's your phone number?
22
73080
1440
01:14
It's 905 386-0042.
23
74520
4380
01:19
And your name? Bob. Bob. Yep.
24
79460
2360
01:22
What would you like to order, Bob?
25
82120
2020
01:24
Just a small pepperoni pizza.
26
84140
4300
01:28
And that's everything for today?
27
88600
1700
01:30
That's everything for today, yup.
28
90360
2060
01:32
So your total comes to $9.05.
29
92580
3380
01:36
Cash?
30
96180
1000
01:37
Yep.
31
97380
1000
01:43
.95 cents is your change.
32
103380
2080
01:45
Thank you.
33
105470
1000
01:46
And it will take about 15 to 20 minutes.
34
106470
2190
01:48
15 to 20 minutes. Okay. Thank you very much.
35
108660
3260
01:53
So, the next thing I thought we should order is a hamburger and some fries.
36
113180
5050
01:58
It's a pretty classic thing to order from a fast food restaurant.
37
118230
5210
02:03
And in this restaurant I will be using, the phrase "I will have" or "I'll have."
38
123440
6079
02:09
I'll have is the short form of it.
39
129519
2140
02:11
So, let's go in and get a burger and some fries.
40
131660
3700
02:16
Hi, how are you?
41
136660
2220
02:19
Good, sir. How are you?
42
139000
1040
02:20
Good.
43
140040
1000
02:21
I'll have the Teen Burger.
44
141040
1559
02:22
It's for here or to go, sir?
45
142600
1800
02:24
To go, please.
46
144660
1880
02:26
And the combo, please.
47
146820
1540
02:28
Fries and a root beer?
48
148620
1360
02:29
Fries and root beer would be good, yup.
49
149980
2960
02:32
That's everything? That's everything.
50
152940
1260
02:34
And can I have a name for the order? Bob. Bob.
51
154200
3420
02:37
It's $11.96, sir.
52
157740
1820
02:39
Thank you.
53
159560
1900
02:45
Thank you very much, sir.
54
165440
1620
02:47
Thank you very much.
55
167060
3740
02:53
Here you go sir. The straws are over there.
56
173640
1860
02:58
Have a good day.
57
178200
2680
03:00
Thank you very much. See you.
58
180889
1341
03:02
Well, we're done here.
59
182230
2689
03:04
We got a burger and some fries.
60
184919
2190
03:07
And the drink I got is a root beer.
61
187109
3451
03:10
So, let's head to the next place.
62
190560
2009
03:12
So, the next thing I thought we should order is a sub.
63
192569
4131
03:16
In this restaurant.
64
196700
1000
03:17
I'll use the phrase, "Could I have" to order my sub.
65
197700
4480
03:22
I'm not sure what sub I'm getting yet.
66
202180
1600
03:23
We'll see when we get in there.
67
203780

03:27
Alright, what would you like?
68

03:34
Whole wheat bread.
72
214409
1000
03:35
Foot long?
73
215409
1000
03:36
A foot long, please, yes.
74
216409
1080
03:37
Thank you.
75
217489
1601
03:39

76
219090
1380
03:40

77

2210
03:42
White cheddar, orange or swiss?
78
222680
3220
03:45
Orange cheddar, please.
79

2160
03:48
What would you like on that?
80

03:49
Some tomatoes, some spinach, and some cucumbers, please.
81

1000
04:08
You get two, which...
89
248609
1000
04:09
Two chocolate chip.
90
249609
3151
04:12
Do you want a fountain drink or a bottle today?
91
252760
1940
04:14
Fountain drink.

04:35
Thank you.
100
275460
840
04:36
You're welcome.
101
276300
980
04:37
So, I got my sub.
102
277280
1080
04:38
Now I just need to fill up my own drink over here.
103
278360
1940
04:45
So, I'm here at Tim Hortons, of course.
104
285340
2420
04:47
The last thing I'm going to order today is a half dozen donuts.
105
287770
4970
04:52
So, my kids will have something to eat for dessert.
106
292740
4330
04:57
I'm going to use the phrase, "Could I get" to order the food that I need.
107
297070
4610
05:01
Hi, could I get six donuts?
108
301680
2760
05:05
Do you need to know what kind?
109
305800
1900
05:07
You can just choose them, if you want, like after you pay.
110
307880
2080
05:10
Yep, so that sounds good.
111
310040
1000
05:11
That's it.
112
311050
1000
05:12
That's it?
113
312050
1000
05:13
Yep.
114
313050
1000
05:14
Do you have a rewards card today?
115
314050
1000
05:15
Nope.
116
315050
1000
05:16
And is that cash or debit.
117
316050
1000
05:17
Debit.
118
317050
990
05:23
I have to let them know which donuts I want.
119
323160
4000
05:28
So, I'll have a chocolate dip.
120
328840
3960
05:32
There's one right here, I think.
121
332800
3000
05:35
Boston cream, vanilla dip, a maple dip, a classic sour cream, and another Boston cream.
122
335800
13540
05:50
Here you go. Awesome. Thank you. Have a good day.
123
350640
1880
05:52
I think of all the stuff I bought today, this is going to be my kids' favorite, for
124
352540
4360
05:56
sure.
125
356900
1000
05:57
So, I actually almost forgot that I have to pick up the pizza yet.
126
357900
3660
06:01
So, we're back at the pizza shop, and I'm going to go in and get my small pepperoni
127
361560
5930
06:07
pizza.
128
367490
1000
06:08
Hi, small pizza for Bob.
129
368490
2160
06:10
Yep, it's ready.
130
370650
1110
06:11
Excellent.
131
371760
3880
06:15
Thank you very much.
132
375640
1000
06:16
So, I got the pizza and our little trip is almost done.
133
376640
4220
06:20
But there's one more stop, actually.
134
380860
2250
06:23
So, I was almost done making the video, and Jen texted me and asked if I could get her
135
383110
4640
06:27
a peppermint tea from Tim Hortons.
136
387750
1630
06:29
Hi, Hortons, may I help you? Yeah. Could I get a large peppermint tea?
137
389380
4860
06:35
Anything else? Nope.
138
395100
1300
06:36
That's everything.
139
396400
780
06:37
All right. $2.00, come on up.
140
397180
1260
06:38
Thank you. You're welcome.
141
398580
2880
06:43
Peppermint tea, black?
142
403000
2620
06:45
Is it a $1?
143
405620
660
06:46
It's $2.02, so $2.00. $2.02.
144
406400
3080
06:50
There you go. Do you have a rewards card? No.
145
410220
1620
06:51
That's all right. Here you go.
146
411840
1280
06:53
Thank you. Have a good day. You, too.
147
413440
1340
06:54
One really big cup of peppermint tea for Jen.
148
414780
3960
06:58
And now I think I'm done.
149
418740
2250
07:00
Well, hey, that was four ways to order food in English.
150
420990
