Dialogue10
Okay, let's figure out dinner. What are you in the mood for tonight?
I was thinking maybe some Italian? Or that new burger place we looked at last week?
Hmm, Italian sounds good. Let's check out 'Alfredo's Pasta Palace' again. I remember their lasagna was pretty good.
Good call! I'll open up the app. Are we getting anything else with it? Maybe some garlic bread?
Definitely garlic bread. And oh, can you add a side salad too? No croutons for me, please.
Got it. Lasagna, garlic bread, and a side salad, no croutons. Anything else? A drink maybe?
Nah, I'm good with just water. Are you all set on your end? Maybe a 'notes to restaurant' for extra cheese?
Always extra cheese! Good thinking. Let me just add that note and double-check the address. Looks good. Confirming order now.
Perfect! Can't wait! How long is it saying for delivery?
It says 30-40 minutes. We'll get a notification when it's on its way.
