ごめんなさい、土曜日は既に予約でいっぱいです。って英語でなんて言うの？

When we say, "I'm afraid that," we mean it in an apologetic way, because we are "afraid" that the person will be disappointed by what we are about to say. It's a polite way to tell the customer or the client that we cannot accommodate their wishes. Furthermore, when we use the phrase, "booked up," we mean that there are no reservations left for that time period.

Keeping your response polite and short is the key to managing a busy workload. You could of course also suggest that the customer come another day when you are less busy.

The two sentences you see provided above are excellent ways to express to someone calling your restraint that Saturday is all full of reservations. In the first sentence you will notice the word book. Although this word has different meanings in this sentence it means to make a reservation. This is a word that is common, especially if we work at a restaurant or a hotel. This word would make a great addition to your vocabulary.

Apologies, we are completely booked that Saturday. A good way to begin delivering unfortunate news to someone, is by saying sorry. This lets them know that although all the bookings have been taken, you are still sorry for inconveniencing them. They are likely to view you as polite and consider coming back another time.

Sometimes people need to be provided with an alternative option, so the last sentence could be modified slightly to suit the person you are speaking to and offer them another opportunity to book in at your restaurant. For example you could say - "Many apologies sir, we are fully booked this Saturday, but we do have availability through the week." "Unfortunately we are completely booked in the restaurant, but I can offer you a seat at the bar?" Of course any of these sentences offer an apology (Unfortunately, Sadly, Apologies) and also three different ways of explaining that the restaurant can not take any more bookings. (fully booked, completely booked, full)

You can say the phrases listed above to tell a potential customer why you are not able to accommodate them. If you say these phrases with sincerity, the customer will appreciate that you are trying to be polite and helpful. After saying "I'm sorry, but we are fully booked that day," you can try to offer another available time. For example, you can add, "We do have an availability for either Friday or Sunday. Will these work for you?"

When the restaurant has reached its maximum reservation capacity for Saturday you could start or end the sentence with saying sorry. You should apologise and explain politely that your restaurant has no more spaces available in the same sentence. "Sorry we are fully booked this Saturday." But you could offer your customers an alternative date to visit your restaurant, "Sorry we have no spaces left for Saturday but we have tables available on Sunday if you would prefer to come then instead?''

When a customer is trying to make a booking for Saturday and the restaurant is fully booked on that day, then you can explain this in the following ways: -I'm sorry but we're already fully booked on Saturday -I'm sorry. We're fully booked for that day
