Restaurant Etiquette

Teenagers are becoming young adults, and must start to take on the adult role in everyday activities. If they are eating out without their parents, they need to know how to make reservations, approach hosts, ask for the check, and handle a variety of mishaps.

Social Skills Worksheet Restaurant Etiquette by Speech Language Pathologist Lisa Flowers

Social Skills - Restaurant Etiquette

This material is one of our “Real-World Communication” resources, targeting every aspect involved in dining out, including such skills as how and when to make a reservation, how to speak with a host(ess), getting the attention of your server, ordering your meal, paying the check, handling issues like dropped utensils and order mistakes, and treating restaurant staff with respect.

This activity covers a pivotal life skill many adolescents haven't had much personal experience with yet, especially for aspects like making a reservation or obtaining and paying the check. Dining out is an inherently social experience even if dining alone, as it involves interaction with hosts/hostesses, servers, cashiers, and busboys. As a result, it requires thorough perspective-taking. With this in mind, discussing how behaviors (like arriving at a restaurant close to closing time) affect others is vital.
