“Hi there! Do you need help with something?”
“Do you need some help?”
“Need a hand?”
嗨!有什么需要帮忙的吗?
1. 打招呼 + 问人数
进门后要确认几位,以便选合适的桌子。
最标准、万能:“How many?”/“How many in your party?”(“Party”在这里是“同行的一行人”,很专业)
更日常随意:“Just you?”/“Just the one?”(看到一个人时) //“How many people?”/“What's the number?”
非常礼貌:“How many are in your group?”
2. 确认位置 (靠里面/靠窗)
“Is this table OK?”(这张桌可以吗?)
“Would you like a table inside or outside?”(您想要室内还是室外?)
“How about by the window?”(靠窗的位置怎么样?)
3. 引导就位 (关键动作)
语气用“这边请”,配合伸出手掌引路的手势。
万能金句 (必会):“Right this way, please.”(请这边走)
简短有力:“Follow me.”/“This way, please.”
告诉对方目的地:“I’ll show you to your table.”(我带您去桌子那儿)
4. 让他入座
“Please have a seat.”(请坐)
“Here you go.”(就在这儿,请坐)
“You can sit anywhere.”(如果店很空,让他随便坐)
5. 叫其他服务员 (结束任务)
“Someone will be right with you.”(马上有人来服务你)
“Your server will be here in a moment.”
转身对同事说:“Table for one.”(一位)
情景模拟 (当时你帮老外带位)
如果你当时是服务员,或者想显得专业一点:
你:(微笑) “Hi!How many?” (几位?)
老外:“One.”
你:“Right this way, please.”(伸出手)
(走到空桌子旁)
你:“Is this table OK?”(这张行吗?)
老外:“Yes. Thanks.”
你:“Have a seat. Someone will be right with you.”
全程非常顺畅,完全没有你担心的“先尴尬地冒出要不要吃点食物”那句。
总结一下服务员必备的 5 句短语
问人数:How many?
请跟我来:Right this way.
这儿可以吗:Is this OK?
请坐:Have a seat.
有人来服务:Someone will be right with you.

场景一:开场 + 问口味偏好(缩小选择范围)
中餐菜单太厚,一上来就给菜单老外会晕。先问两句,直接帮他筛掉一半。
服务员问
1. 问能不能吃辣(最重要)
"Do you eat spicy food?"
能吃辣吗?
"Can I ask — do you like spicy food or something mild?"
问一下,您喜欢辣的还是清淡的?
2. 问忌口(素食/过敏)
"Do you have any dietary restrictions? For example, no pork, no seafood, or vegetarian?"
您有什么忌口吗?比如不吃猪肉、不吃海鲜,或者吃素?
3. 问想吃什么类型
"Are you looking for something with chicken, beef, pork, seafood, or tofu?"
您想吃鸡肉、牛肉、猪肉、海鲜,还是豆腐?
场景二:推荐招牌菜(客人主动问)
客人可能问
"What's your most popular dish?"
你们最受欢迎的菜是什么?
"What do you recommend for a first-time visitor?"
第一次来,您推荐什么?
服务员回答(分情况)
如果他说能吃辣:
"I'd recommend our kung pao chicken. It's a classic — diced chicken with peanuts, vegetables, and a spicy sauce. Everyone loves it."
我推荐宫保鸡丁。经典菜——鸡丁配花生、蔬菜和辣酱。大家都喜欢。
如果他说不能吃辣:
"Then go with the sweet and sour pork. It's crispy pork in a sweet and tangy sauce. Very kid-friendly and mild."
那就点糖醋里脊。脆皮猪肉配酸甜酱,非常温和,小朋友都喜欢。
如果他想吃素:
"Our mapo tofu is great, but it's spicy. We also have stir-fried seasonal vegetables — very light and healthy."
我们的麻婆豆腐很好,但是辣的。我们也有清炒时蔬——非常清淡健康。
场景三:详细解释一道菜(原料 + 做法 + 口味)
这是你最需要的部分。老外看到中文菜单上的“宫保鸡丁”会懵,你要能拆开解释。
客人问:"What's in kung pao chicken?"
宫保鸡丁里有什么?
服务员回答
"It has diced chicken, roasted peanuts, dried chili peppers, and scallions. The sauce is made with soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and a little cornstarch to thicken it."
里面有鸡丁、烤花生、干辣椒和葱。酱汁是用酱油、醋、糖和一点点水淀粉勾芡的。
逐词解析:
diced chicken = 鸡丁
roasted peanuts = 烤花生
dried chili peppers = 干辣椒
scallions = 葱
soy sauce = 酱油
vinegar = 醋
cornstarch = 水淀粉
客人追问:"Is it very spicy?"(很辣吗?)
"It's medium spicy. You'll feel the heat, but it's not overpowering. The peanuts and scallions balance it out."
中辣。能感觉到辣,但不会盖过其他味道。花生和葱会平衡辣味。
场景四:解释麻婆豆腐(老外最好奇也最怕的一道菜)
客人问:"What's mapo tofu? Is it vegetarian?"
麻婆豆腐是什么?是素的吗?
服务员回答
"Mapo tofu is soft tofu in a spicy bean-based sauce. It usually has a little bit of ground pork, but we can make it vegetarian if you want."
麻婆豆腐是嫩豆腐配上辣豆瓣酱。通常里面会有一点猪肉末,但如果您需要,我们可以做成纯素的。
逐词解析:
soft tofu = 嫩豆腐
bean-based sauce = 豆瓣酱
ground pork = 猪肉末
客人问:"How spicy is it?"(多辣?)
"It's quite spicy — maybe a 7 out of 10. It has chili bean paste and Sichuan peppercorns, which give it a numbing feeling. Very authentic."
相当辣,10 分里面大概 7 分。里面有辣豆瓣酱和花椒,会有一点麻。非常地道。
关键表达:
numbing feeling = 麻的感觉
Sichuan peppercorns = 花椒
场景五:解释鱼香肉丝(老外常被名字误导)
客人问:"This says 'fish-flavored pork'. Does it have fish in it?"
这个写着“鱼香肉丝”。里面有鱼吗?
服务员回答(一定要解释清楚,否则他以为上错菜)
"Good question. No fish at all. 'Fish-flavored' just means the sauce has the same seasonings used in fish dishes — garlic, ginger, pickled chili, and a sweet-sour sauce. It's shredded pork with black fungus and carrots."
好问题。完全没有鱼。“鱼香”只是指酱汁用了做鱼时常用的调料——蒜、姜、泡椒和糖醋汁。里面是肉丝、木耳和胡萝卜。
逐词解析:
shredded pork = 猪肉丝
black fungus = 木耳
pickled chili = 泡椒
garlic = 蒜
ginger = 姜
客人问:"Is it spicy?"(辣吗?)
"It's mild to medium. More sweet and sour than spicy."
微辣到中辣。酸甜味比辣味更突出。
场景六:推荐主食(米饭/面)
客人可能问:"What do you have for rice or noodles?"
你们有什么米饭或面食?
服务员回答
"We have steamed rice, egg fried rice, and Yangzhou fried rice. The egg fried rice is simple with just egg and green onions. Yangzhou fried rice has ham, shrimp, and vegetables."
我们有白米饭、蛋炒饭和扬州炒饭。蛋炒饭很简单,只有鸡蛋和葱花。扬州炒饭有火腿、虾仁和蔬菜。
别忘了一句特别有用的话:
"We also have fried rice or noodles. Would you like to add one to share?"
我们也有炒饭和炒面。要不要加一份大家一起分?
场景七:询问汤(结束一餐)
客人问:"Do you have any soup?"
你们有什么汤?
服务员回答
"Yes. Our hot and sour soup is very popular. It's spicy and tangy with tofu, mushroom, and egg. Or we have a lighter one — egg drop soup with tomatoes."
有。我们的酸辣汤很受欢迎。辣酸口味,里面有豆腐、蘑菇和鸡蛋。或者我们有更清淡的——番茄蛋花汤。
逐词解析:
hot and sour soup = 酸辣汤
tangy = 酸爽的
egg drop soup = 蛋花汤
场景八:点餐确认(防错)
点完后一定要确认一遍
"So let me repeat: you ordered kung pao chicken, mapo tofu, egg fried rice, and a hot and sour soup. Is that correct?"
我重复一下:您点了宫保鸡丁、麻婆豆腐、蛋炒饭和一份酸辣汤,对吗?
"Would you like anything else? Maybe some spring rolls as an appetizer?"
还需要别的吗?要不要来份春卷当开胃菜?
小抄卡片(中餐厅专用——快速查询版)
| 你要介绍的东西 | 可以直接这么说 |
|---|---|
| 宫保鸡丁(能不能吃辣都要会介绍) | Diced chicken with peanuts, scallions, and a spicy sauce. |
| 麻婆豆腐(重点解释“麻”和“素”) | Tofu in a spicy bean sauce with ground pork. Can be vegetarian. |
| 鱼香肉丝(必解释“没有鱼”) | No fish. Just the name. Shredded pork with veggies in a sweet-sour sauce. |
| 糖醋里脊(经典不辣菜) | Crispy pork in a sweet and tangy sauce. Not spicy at all. |
| 酸辣汤(说清楚“又酸又辣”) | Spicy and sour soup with tofu, mushroom, and egg. |
| 蛋炒饭(基础主食) | Rice fried with egg and scallions. Very simple. |
| 问能否吃辣 | Do you eat spicy food?/Spicy or mild? |
| 问忌口 | Any allergies or things you don't eat? |
| 客人让你推荐 | Try our kung pao chicken. It's a classic. |
最后两个实战建议
1. 对于复杂菜,采用“先说主料,再说口味,最后说辣不辣”的结构:
"It's chicken + peanuts + scallions in a spicy sauce. Medium spicy."
鸡肉 + 花生 + 葱,配辣酱,中辣。
2. 如果你不确定哪个单词,就换简单词:
“里脊”不会说?就说pork。
“勾芡”不会说?就说thick sauce。
“木耳”不会说?就说black mushroom(虽然不是蘑菇,但对方能懂)。
