Lily: Good evening, yes, this is Golden Dragon, this is Lily speaking, how can I help you?

Daniel: I’d like to order for two people, do you have a set menu or should I choose the dishes one by one?
Lily: We don’t have a set menu for two, so you can choose the dishes you want from the menu.

Daniel: Okay, great, I’d like one portion of chicken fried rice, please.
Lily: One chicken fried rice, got it, would you like it spicy or mild?

Daniel: Mild, please, and I’d also like one sweet and sour chicken.
Lily: All right, one sweet and sour chicken, would you like that with boiled rice or noodles?

Daniel: Boiled rice, please, and do you have any vegetarian dishes to recommend?
Lily: Yes, we have a very popular vegetable chow mein and also mixed vegetables with tofu.

Daniel: Yes, that’s correct, and could I add two spring rolls as a starter?
Lily: Of course, two spring rolls, would you like any drinks with your order?

Daniel: Yes, I’ll take one large bottle of still water, please.
Lily: All right, I’ll add one large still water, do you have any allergies we should know about?

Daniel: No serious allergies, but I’d like to avoid peanuts in any dish, please.
Lily: Noted, we will prepare everything without peanuts and keep that in mind in the kitchen.

Daniel: Thank you, could you tell me the total price before delivery, please?
Lily: Yes, one moment, the total for the food and drinks is 29 euros, plus 2 euros for delivery, so 31 euros.

Daniel: That’s fine, now I’ll give you my address for delivery.

Vocabulario para hacer el pedido:
Expresiones básicas como “I’d like to order some food for delivery”, “I’d like to order for two people”, “I’d like one portion of chicken fried rice”, “I’ll take one of those”, “could I add two spring rolls as a starter?”.
“Portion” es porción/ración; muy útil si no quieres decir simplemente “one chicken fried rice” y prefieres algo más claro.

Opciones de comida y gustos:
Aparecen preguntas típicas: “spicy or mild?”, “with boiled rice or noodles?”, “do you have any vegetarian dishes to recommend?”.
“Spicy” = picante; “mild” = suave. “Vegetarian dishes” también es un bloque muy útil para pedir opciones sin carne.

Bebidas y extras:
“Any drinks with your order?”, “one large bottle of still water”.
“Still water” = agua sin gas; si quieres con gas sería “sparkling water”.

Alergias y restricciones:
“Do you have any allergies we should know about?”, “I’d like to avoid peanuts in any dish”, “we will prepare everything without peanuts and keep that in mind in the kitchen”.
Este tipo de frases son cada vez más habituales y muy importantes en cultura anglosajona.

Precio y entrega:
“The total for the food and drinks is 29 euros, plus 2 euros for delivery, so 31 euros.”

Pago:
“How can I pay, can I pay by card on delivery or only cash?”, “You can pay by card or cash to the driver, whichever you prefer.”, “I’ll pay by card when the driver arrives.”.

Es muy buena práctica y se hace mucho en inglés para evitar errores.

Inicio de llamada y atención al cliente:

Pedir y confirmar platos:
Cliente: “I’d like one portion of…”, “I’ll take one of those too.”
Recepcionista: “One chicken fried rice, got it.”, “All right, one sweet and sour chicken…”, “so that’s X, Y and Z.”
“Got it” es muy coloquial para “entendido, anotado”.

Ofrecer y recomendar:
“Would you like it spicy or mild?”, “Would you like that with boiled rice or noodles?”, “we have a very popular vegetable chow mein”.
“Would you like…?” es la manera estándar y educada de ofrecer opciones en restaurantes.

Dirección y acceso:
“Your full address and a contact phone number?”, “the main door is always locked, so the driver should call me when they arrive.”, “we’ll ask the driver to call you when they are outside the building.”
El verbo clave es “should call me” (debería llamarme).

“Approximately” y “around” suavizan y dejan claro que es una estimación.

Cierre y cortesía:
“Thank you very much for your help.”, “Thank you for your order, have a nice evening.”, “You too, goodbye.”
Es un intercambio de fórmulas de cortesía muy estándar.

Uso de “I’D LIKE…” para pedir educadamente
Aparece varias veces:
“I’d like to order some food for delivery.”
“I’d like to order for two people.”
“I’d like one portion of chicken fried rice.”
“I’d like…” (I would like) es más suave y cortés que “I want…”, sobre todo al teléfono.

Uso de “WOULD YOU LIKE…?” para ofrecer opciones
“Would you like it spicy or mild?”
“Would you like that with boiled rice or noodles?”
Patrón fundamental: “Would you like + opción A or B?” Es preferible a “Do you want…?” en contexto de atención al cliente.

Uso de PRESENTE SIMPLE para hechos y normas
“We don’t have a set menu for two.”
“You can choose the dishes you want.”
“We will prepare everything without peanuts.” (aquí mezcla presente y futuro).

“It will definitely arrive this evening.”
“Your order will be ready and sent out as soon as possible.”
“Will” aquí comunica compromiso y seguridad.

Estructuras con “CAN / COULD” para pedir y ofrecer
Cliente: “Could you tell me the total price…?”, “Could you repeat my order and address…?” (más formal/educado).
Restaurante: “You can pay by card or cash, whichever you prefer.”
“Whichever you prefer” es una manera muy suave de decir “como tú quieras”.

Uso de NÚMEROS Y DIRECCIONES
“42 Oak Street, third floor, apartment 3B”, “612 345 789”.
En la práctica real, conviene pronunciar los números uno a uno al teléfono.

Énfasis en alergias y seguridad alimentaria
La pregunta sobre alergias (“Do you have any allergies we should know about?”) es muy típica en países anglófonos; se toma muy en serio y se espera una respuesta clara. En muchos sitios se considera responsabilidad compartida restaurante–cliente.

Dirección completa y teléfono siempre
Es muy habitual pedir dirección completa + teléfono y “any special instruction for the driver”. Es casi parte del protocolo del pedido, sobre todo en ciudades grandes.

Tiempo de entrega como rango
En lugar de dar un tiempo fijo, se da un rango: “around 35 to 45 minutes”. Esto gestiona expectativas y es culturalmente muy común para evitar quejas si el reparto se retrasa unos minutos.

Pago al repartidor con varias opciones
La frase “You can pay by card or cash to the driver, whichever you prefer” muestra la costumbre de ofrecer varias formas de pago al llegar, no solo online antes del pedido.

Confirmación final
Pedir que repitan el pedido y la dirección (“Could you repeat my order and address…?”) se ve como prudente, no como desconfianza. Es muy recomendable en inglés para evitar malentendidos y suena educado.
