（飲食店で）「いらっしゃい」って英語でなんて言うの？

"Good (morning/evening/afternoon)? What may I help you with today?" "Welcome! What may I offer you today?" - A good way to great a new customer would be to ask how you can assist them or help them or what you can offer them. "Thank you for coming from so far! I hope you enjoy your meal today!" -One way to thank them for coming from far away. You can also add that you hope they enjoyed the food.

It is sometimes difficult to find the right words or expressions to welcome a customer. However, I suggest the following: Welcome to our restaurant. Please enjoy the food. You are politely requesting the customer to 'please enjoy the food'. This will set his/her appetite in motion. or Welcome to our restaurant. Please take a seat and enjoy. Here, you have politely requested the customer to 'please take a seat and enjoy'. It's not just the food you are asking the customer to enjoy, but also the comfort and scenery if the seat is close to a window. or Welcome to our restaurant. Please browse through the menu. Here, you have used the verb to 'browse', which has several meanings, but, in this context, it means 'to look through the menu with intention of making a choice of which meal to buy'.

Whens someone enters a restaurant their first concern would invariably be about finding a nice, comfortable table in either a secluded or street-view position. They are not interested in small talk at this stage, though later they may be more amenable to it. So the most useful think you could ask would be something like: "Hi, would you like a seat by the window or further inside?"

If you want to show some hospitality you can say "Welcome. I hope you will enjoy the food."Please note I didn't say "Welcome to our restaurant" but "Welcome" because it sounds natural when you say it that way. There is no need to mention restaurant. *Welcome. If you don't mind me asking. Where are you from? For example: You: Welcome. If you don't mind me asking. Where are you from? Customer: We are visiting from America and we had you serve the best Japanese food here.

We want to make you feel welcome, so if there is anything we can do to make your meal more enjoyable please don't hesitate to ask! - This is meaning that you want people to feel 'at home' in your restaurant and that they can ask for anything to make their meal better Thank your for your custom! Please come again soon- This can be said as people are leaving. Thanking someone for their custom means that you are grateful that they came to your restaurant and spent their money there. You are most welcome here at Zizi's (for example)

"The Customer is King" is an adage that holds a great deal of merit:-D Those in the service industry should always make their customers feel at ease and welcome ! There are many simple phrases to help with his: "how may I be of service today? "/" If ther are any questions about our menu... please just ask" etc The first immpression is usually very important and so a hearty welcome and a thank you for coming is always a good idea..."We were greeted by the manager who said...Welcome & thank you so much for coming"

A good restaurant manager always builds rapport(a connection) with his customers to put their minds at ease and make sure they are as comfortable as possible. If you are operating a restaurant in a place that is frequented by tourists or foreigners in general, you can ask 'where are you from?' and they will tell you their country of origin. However if the person is obviously a local, you can always ask 'where are you coming from?' and they will tell you where they were before coming to the restaurant. Always greet customers with a smile, a simple 'hello, and welcome' will do. Maybe even ask if someone has taken their order yet just so they feel like you are a good host.
