Hey! So, picking a cuisine that you wanna eat for the day
there's kind of a lot to choose from.
Do you want Chinese? Japanese? Mexican? Italian?
The list goes on and on.
When you're picking out a restaurant online,
you can think about the different type of cousine that you would like to have for the day.
But you can also think about the actual menu itself
and how many offerings and what kind of variety they have at each restaurant.
Ok, friends! We still have a lot of options to consider
when we're booking a restaurant online.
There are so many things to consider!
Lots and lots!
Well, like money!
Prices! Price points!
You're always about the price points!
Well, you know, I'm frugal!
I know! I like to save a buck whenever I can!
You like to save a buck. Yes!
Yes, so we can have the nicer and the finer things in life
when we want them. True!
What I find most important is that I need to read reviews.
And... so, here are the reviews.
But before actually start reading the reviews,
let's remind that there are a lot of options out there
when it comes to review sites.
You find the one that you like,
and a lot of times, they'll deal with, like, stars.
One star to five stars,
five stars of course being great, one star not being so good.
They also talk about price points with dollar signs
so one dollar sign would mean very cheap, very low cost.
And up to five dollar signs
would be the most expensive places that we have available.
There's some keywords to look out for,
look out for anything that qualifies service.
Like "It was really delicious!"
"Really good!", "Really great!"
And then you, of course, have negative, as well.
"Yuck! Awful! Gross! Stay away!"
Ok, that's enough! Why don't we read this review?
In the reviews it said that this restaurant
gets a little busy during peak hours, so you might want to make a reservation.
So we're gonna go through those steps of making a reservation right now.
We know that it might be a little overwhelming at times,
but don't worry!
We're gonna make it nice and easy and simple for you.
So what you're gonna do, you call in to the restaurant,
they're gonna ask you if you would like a reservation,
and they'll ask for your name,
and they'll wanna know what time you're coming in,
or what time you prefer to come in
and how many people are in your party.
It's ringing.
Hi, is this Grilled Corn Café?
Yes, I'd like to make a reservation please.
For two, at 1 p.m.
It's for Roger Smith.
Ok, thank you! We'll see you then.
Ok, so I called in. I made a reservation,
and now we're ready to go! Yeah, we're ready!
Oh, one more thing! Say you call in to the restaurant
to try and make a reservation, but no one answers.
What else can you do? You can go online!
Most places that take reservations allow you to do it online nowadays.
Just go on, you do the same thing that you would do
if you were making a phone call.
Put in your name, how many are in your party,
what time you would like to arrive.
And there's usually a special section
where, if you have any requests or, you know, dietary restrictions.
Or you wanna sit on a patio, or if you wanna seat by the fireplace.
Let's go! Alright, let's do it!
After you! Thank you!
