Situations
Choose from 5 conversations to practice
Initial Brainstorming & Preferences
Colleagues casually discuss what they're in the mood for, offering initial suggestions and stating their general food preferences (e.g., 'something light', 'Chinese food', 'not too expensive').
Navigating Dietary Restrictions
One or more colleagues mention specific dietary restrictions or allergies (e.g., vegetarian, gluten-free, no spicy food), and the group tries to find options that accommodate everyone.
Suggesting and Vouching for Restaurants
Colleagues suggest specific restaurants they've tried and liked, providing brief descriptions or reasons why they recommend them, and perhaps checking their availability or popularity.
Deciding on Group Order vs. Dining Out
The group discusses the pros and cons of ordering delivery/takeout versus going out to a restaurant, considering factors like time, cost, and convenience.
Consolidating Orders and Logistics
For a group order, one person takes the lead to collect everyone's specific orders, clarify details, and organize the payment and delivery logistics.
