How To Order Fast Food

The worker will ask you:

“Can I help you?” OR “May I take your order?”

You need to say:

“Yes, I would like a ________ and some ___________ and a ____________ to drink.”

The worker will usually repeat your order back to you with the total. If the order isn’t right, you can say:

“I’m sorry, I ordered a _________ not a __________.”

The worker should repeat the correct order to you. If it’s not okay, try again: “No, I said a _______, not a _______.”

If it is okay, pay the worker and wait for your food to be ready.

If you need ketchup or some other item, just say:

“Can I please have some ____________?”

Some fast food restaurants have “value meals” that can be ordered by only saying a number. If you want a value meal, just say:

“I would like meal number _________.”

If you have a special order, you can say:

“I would like a plain hamburger.” OR “I only want ______ on my hamburger.” OR “No _________ on my hamburger, please.”
