"How many people are there?" NOT "How many people are you?" I'm only one person last time I looked. XD

Bufet is spelled Buffet..

Could you bring some snacks to start is not an expression used here.

Bufet is spelled Buffet

How do you serve this food= This is really vague. If someone asks this, they're usually asking about things that come with the food (side dishes) but I think you mean "How is this cooked/How is this prepared"

Would you like to order any dessert: The "any" sounds awkward.

Give me the check please= sounds rude. "May I have/could you bring the check please?" sounds nicer

Do you need an invoice?= I think you mean receipt, not invoice.

@Chloeteaches Great feedback!!! Thanks for helping us improve.

Many of these phrases were rather awkward, or used words that weren't quite right:

We'd like to ask from the menu==> We'd like to ORDER from the menu

How many people are you==> How many people are there?

bufet= buffet

could you bring some snacks to start?= You wouldn't say this unless you were at a bar. In a restaurant, you would ask for bread or appetizers (small dishes before the main meal)

Thanks for watching and for your positive feedback :)

Isn´t " I want the menu" a rude expression? Isn´t it necessary to say: MAY I HAVE THE MENU instead¿

What does Bon Appetite means.. at last...

[dollyfig]

It's a french expression that is used in english nowadays, it means we hope people enjoy their meal.

It means: "Buen provecho" in spanish.
