>> let's start the video. Are you ready? Okay, let's begin. Good morning. I'm here for breakfast.
Good morning, sir. Welcome to our restaurant. May I have your room number, please? Sure, it's room 512.
Room 512. Let me check that for you. One moment, please. Of course, no problem. Thank you
for waiting. I can see your reservation here. You are staying for three nights. Is that correct? Yes, that's right.
Three nights. Great. And breakfast is included in your plan for all three mornings. So, there is no extra charge.
Oh, wonderful. That's good to know. I wasn't sure if breakfast was included or not. No worries. Many guests ask the
same question. Breakfast is served from 6:30 in the morning until 10:00. Until 10:00.
Got it. And what time is it now? It's about 8:15 right now. So, you still have plenty of time to enjoy your meal.
Perfect. I woke up a little late today, so I was worried I might miss breakfast. Not at all. You're just in time. Let me
show you to your table. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. This is my first morning here, so everything is new to
me. Don't worry. I'll explain everything step by step. Please come this way. Where would you like to sit? We have
tables by the window, and we also have tables in the center of the restaurant. A window seat would be nice if one is
available. Let me check. Yes, we have a window seat open right now. Please follow me. This way, please. Oh, this is
lovely. I can see the garden from here. The flowers look beautiful. Yes, our garden is especially nice in the
morning. The sunlight comes through the windows, so it's very bright and warm here. I can see why this spot is
popular. It feels so relaxing. I'm glad you like it. Now, let me explain how breakfast works. The buffet area is
right over there, on the left side of the restaurant. You can see the long table with the food. Yes, I see it. It
looks like there's a lot of food. Where can I get drinks? The drink station is on the right side, just next to the
buffet. You can find orange juice, apple juice, water, and different kinds of tea there. We also have fresh milk, both
regular and low-fat. What about coffee? Is coffee at the drink station, too? Actually, for coffee, we bring it
directly to your table, so it's always fresh and hot. Just let me know when you'd like some. That's great service.
Thank you for explaining everything so clearly. You're welcome. Please take your time and go to the buffet whenever
you're ready. Excuse me, Erin. Could you tell me a little more about the buffet? I'd like
to know what's available today. Of course. Let's start with eggs. Today, we have scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, and
fried eggs on the buffet table. We also have a cooking station where the chef can make eggs fresh for you. Oh, a
cooking station. That's nice. What about meat? Is there bacon? Yes, we have crispy bacon and pork sausages. They are
very popular every morning. Sounds delicious. And what about bread? I'm a big fan of bread. You'll love our bread
choices then. We have white toast, whole wheat toast, and croissants. We also have fresh bagels today. Right next to
the bread, you'll find butter, strawberry jam, orange marmalade, and honey. Wonderful. I love croissants with
butter. How about fruit? Do you have fresh fruit? Absolutely. We have bananas, oranges, watermelon, and
pineapple today. Everything is fresh and was cut this morning. That's great. Everything sounds wonderful. Is there
anything special today? Like a local dish or something unique to this area? Yes, actually. Today, we have a local
specialty that I really recommend. It's a rice porridge made with fresh vegetables from a nearby farm. It's
seasoned simply with salt and herbs. Many guests say it's delicious and very healthy. Rice porridge with fresh
vegetables. That sounds really interesting. I don't usually eat porridge for breakfast, but I'd like to
try it today. I think you'll enjoy it. It's light and easy on the stomach, so it's perfect for the morning. You can
add a little pepper or soy sauce if you like. Thank you for the recommendation. I'll definitely try it.
Have you decided on your drink? Would you like to get something from the drink station yourself, or shall I bring
something to your table? I'd love a cup of coffee, please. Could you bring it to my table? Of course. Would you like
regular coffee or decaf? Regular coffee, please. I need coffee this morning. Could I also have some milk on the side?
Of course. Would you like hot milk or cold milk? Cold milk, please. I like to pour it in myself. Sure. I'll bring cold
milk in a small pitcher. Also, would you like me to order eggs for you at the cooking station? The chef
can make them fresh right in front of you. Oh, yes. You mentioned that earlier. What options do I have? You can
choose from scrambled eggs, sunny-side up, or an omelet. We can also add toppings like cheese, mushrooms,
tomatoes, or ham. How would you like your eggs? I'll have scrambled eggs, please. And could you add cheese and
mushrooms? Great choice. So, that's scrambled eggs with cheese and mushrooms. Would you like anything else
with that? No, that's perfect. Just the eggs, please. All right. I'll place the order now. I'll bring the eggs and the
coffee together to your table. It should be ready in about 5 minutes. Sounds great. I'll go to the buffet and get
some other food while I wait. Perfect. Take your time and enjoy. Excuse me, Erin. I have an important
question about the food. I forgot to mention this earlier. Of course. What is it? How can I help? I have a nut
allergy. I'm allergic to all kinds of nuts like almonds, walnuts, and peanuts.
I need to be very careful about what I eat. I want to make sure the food here is
safe for me. Thank you very much for telling me. That is really important and I want to make sure you are safe. Let me
help you choose the right food. Thank you. I was looking at the granola over there
near the yogurt. Does the granola contain any nuts? Yes, I'm afraid the granola does contain almonds and
walnuts, so please avoid that one. I'm sorry about that. I'm really glad I asked.
What about the bread? Are the croissants safe to eat? Yes, the croissants do not contain any nuts. The white toast and
the bagels are also nut free, so you can enjoy those without any worry. That's good to hear.
Okay, and what about the rice porridge you recommended earlier? Is that safe for me, too? Yes, the rice porridge does
not contain any nuts. It only has rice, vegetables, and a little salt. Great. I'll have the porridge and the
croissants then. I feel much better now. Those are excellent choices. Oh, and one more thing I should tell you. The
chocolate cake on the dessert table may contain traces of nuts. It's made in a kitchen that also uses nuts, so it's
best to skip that one just to be safe. Oh, I was thinking about having some cake later. Thank you so much for the
warning. I really appreciate you looking out for me. Of course, your safety is our top priority. If you have any
questions about any other dishes, please don't hesitate to ask me anytime. I will. Thank you, Erin. You've been so
helpful. Excuse me, sir. How is everything going? Is the food to your liking?
Everything is really delicious. The scrambled eggs with cheese and mushrooms were amazing. I tried the rice porridge
like you suggested. It was so good. The vegetables were fresh and the flavor was really gentle.
I'm so happy to hear that. The rice porridge is actually one of my favorites, too. I eat it almost every
morning before I start work. Really? I can understand why. It's light, but satisfying. You were right, it's really
good. By the way, could I have another cup of coffee, please? Of course. Would you
like the same as before? Regular coffee with cold milk on the side? Yes, exactly the same, please. The coffee here is
really smooth and rich. I like it a lot. Thank you. We're proud of our coffee. We use freshly ground beans every single
morning. I'll bring your refill right away. Thank you. No rush. I'm just enjoying
the view. Here you go. One regular coffee with cold milk. Is there anything else I can bring you? Would you like
some more toast or maybe a plate of fruit? Actually, yes. Could I have a small plate of fruit? Just some
watermelon and pineapple, if you don't mind. Of course. I'll bring a small plate of watermelon and pineapple right
away. You're so kind. Thank you very much. It's no trouble at all. I'll be right
back with your fruit. Excuse me, Erin. I'm done now. Everything was really wonderful. Now,
how do I pay for breakfast? Do I pay here at the restaurant? I'm glad you enjoyed everything. Since breakfast is
included in your room plan, there is no extra charge for the buffet or the coffee, so you don't need to pay
anything today. Really? Even the eggs that were made at the cooking station? Yes, the cooking station is part of the
breakfast buffet. Everything at the buffet is covered by your plan. However, if you order anything extra like a glass
of wine or a special cocktail, there would be a small additional charge for that. I see. I only had the regular
coffee, the buffet food, and the fruit. Nothing extra. Then everything is fully covered. There's nothing to pay at all.
That's great, but I noticed some guests at the front are signing something on a piece of paper. What is that for? Good
question. That's for guests who ordered extra items that are not included in their plan. When they order something
extra, they sign to confirm the charge. The charge is then added to their hotel room bill. We call it a room charge. Ah,
I understand. So, they don't pay cash here. The charge is added to their hotel bill and they pay everything at
checkout. Exactly right. It's very convenient. You just sign your name and your room number and that's it. That is
convenient, but I don't need to sign anything today, right? That's correct. You're all set. No signature needed
today. Wonderful. Well, thank you so much for everything this morning, Erin. The food was excellent and your service
was truly wonderful. You made my morning really special. That's so kind of you to say. Thank you very much, sir. We are
really glad you enjoyed your breakfast. It was a pleasure serving you. I really did enjoy it. I'll definitely come back
tomorrow morning. Maybe I'll try a different egg style. That's a great idea. We have many choices, so you can
try something new each morning. Breakfast is available every day during your stay from 6:30 to 10:00. We look
forward to seeing you again tomorrow. Thank you, Erin. Have a great day. You too, sir. Enjoy the rest of your day.
