The restaurant - Restoran

Updated: Sep 22, 2023

- All settled

- Sve je rešeno


- Good. We try to favor customers who are worthwhile, those who spend, and if the usual poor people arrive, put them in the internal room, never in the external one. Did you understand?

- Dobro. Trudimo se da damo prednost kupcima koji vrede, onima koji troše, a ako dođe obična sirotinja, stavljamo ih u unutrašnju, a ne u spoljašnju prostoriju. Razumeš?


- Sure, I understand. And how much spare time do we have between tables?

- Svakako razumem. A koliko slobodnog vremena imamo između stolova?


- 45 maximum 50 minutes, no more. Those who order two things, you see them immediately in the face. They arrive immediately for the coffee, dessert and go. You know what I hunted the other night?

- 45 maksimalno 50 minuta, ne više. Oni koji naručuju dve stvari, vidite ih pravo u lice. Dođu odmah da popiju kafu, desert i odu. Znaš li koga sam lovio te noći?


- Ah yes, yes, I remember.

- Oh, da, da, sećam se.


- Exactly. That's what I mean. If not, how do I pay your salaries?

- To je to. To je ono na šta mislim. Ako ne, kako ću vam isplatiti platu?


- Sure, all clear.

- Naravno, sve je jasno.


- Hi, Rosario, tell me everything. Sure that's fine. I always enjoy having guests of a certain caliber in my restaurant. Don't worry, we will treat him like God, rather tell him to come at the time that is most convenient. All right. Bye, thank you, bye. … A friend called me - the owner of a nearby hotel. Today for lunch we will have the writer Mario Rinaldi. I recommend that we treat him properly and give him the best table. These are people who spend

- Zdravo, Rosario, reci mi sve. Naravno, ovo je normalno. Uvek uživam da ugostim goste određenog kalibra u svom restoranu. Ne brini, tretiraćemo ga kao Boga, bolje mu reci da dođe u najpovoljnije vreme. Dobro. Ćao, hvala, ćao. ... Zvao me prijatelj – vlasnik obližnjeg hotela. Danas ćemo na ručku imati pisca Marija Rinaldija. Preporučujem da ga pravilno tretirate i da mu date najbolji sto. To su ljudi koji troše


- I'll handle that

- Mogu to da izdržim


- Good. And remember the internal room only for simpletons. Let's focus more on the external one for the people who spend, okay?

- Dobro. I zapamtite da je unutrašnja soba samo za prostake. Hajde da se više fokusiramo na spoljašnju prostoriju za ljude koji troše, u redu?


- All right. I go

- Dobro. Ići ću


- Okay.

- Dobro.

______


- The outside room is full

- Spoljna prostorija je puna


- Optimal. I recommend it for when Rinaldi arrives. Eh

- Optimalno. Preporučujem isto kada Rinaldi stigne. eh...


- Be calm. As you told, I kept the best table in the outside room free for him….

- Smiri se. Kao što si rekao, ostavila sam najbolji sto u zadnjoj prostoriji slobodan za njega...


- Good day!

- Dobar dan!


- Good day. We are ready to eat, even though I realize it's a bit late.

- Dobar dan. Spremni smo za jelo, mada razumem da je malo kasno.


- In fact. Okay, wait a minute, I'll check availability for a table.

- Zapravo. Ok, čekajte, potražiću sto.


- Thank you

- Hvala.


- Thank you

- Hvala.


- What do I do with these?

- Šta da radim sa ovim?


- Did you see them in face?!

- Da li ste ih videli lično?


- Well, yes.

- Pa da.


- Put them in the inner room and tell them to hurry

- Odvedite ih u unutrašnju sobu i recite im da požure.


- Yes, that's what I thought too. I go

- Da, i ja sam tako mislila. Ići ću


- Go.

- Idi.


- So, I only have one table left in the inner room, if that's okay with you.

- Dakle, ostao mi je samo jedan sto u unutrašnjoj sobi, ako nemate ništa protiv.


- Yes, it doesn't matter

- Da, nije bitno.


- Yes, thanks

- Da, hvala.


- Among others, one last thing, in an hour the kitchen closes. So, I would advise you to hurry

- Uzgred, još nešto, za sat vremena, kuhinja se zatvara. Zato vam savetujem da požurite.


- But, yeah, okay.

- Ali, da, u redu.


- Okay, thanks.

- Dobro hvala.


- Okay, then, follow me, please.

- U redu, onda za mnom, molim vas.


_____



- Check it out, please

- Pogledajte molim vas.


- Yup. 42.50

- Da. 42,50


- I don't understand, sorry.

- Ne razumem, izvinite.


- 42.50

- 42,50

- Look, say goodbye to the gentleman because we don't have time to waste

- Vidite, pozdravi se sa gospodinom, jer nemamo vremena za gubljenje.


- Look, the gentleman was recounting me

- Vidite, gospodin me je prebrojao.


- Look, look at the bill and do yourself a favor, next time, go to a pizzeria, so you will surely find prices there that suit your standards.

- Pogledajte, pogledajte račun i učinite sebi uslugu, sledeći put odete u piceriju, tamo ćete sigurno naći cene koje odgovaraju vašim standardima.


- Look at that ...

- Vidite ovo ...


- Martina, have you heard anything about Rinaldi?

- Martina, jesi li čula nešto o Rinaldiju?


- No, still nothing, no calls, and he still hasn't shown up

- Ne, još ništa, nema poziva, i još se nije pojavio.


- Mario Rinaldi is me. And the extra money is a tip to apologize because consuming only two appetizers, we have occupied a table for an hour.

- Mario Rinaldi sam ja. A dodatni novac je napojnica za izvinjenje, jer smo nakon što smo pojeli samo dve užine, zauzeli sto na sat vremena.


- Excuse me, surely there was a huge misunderstanding. I'm desolated ...

- Izvinite, naravno, došlo je do ogromnog nesporazuma. Shrvan sam...


- Do not worry. The tip, I leave it to you anyway. For the service even if it was inadequate, as it proved rude and conceited as if my nameless face and my scruffy attire authorized you to treat me this way, I never say and never took advantage of my status and my name for favored treatment. I also advised the director so that he wouldn't say I was passing by. For me, authenticity is a great value. In all fields, and I see you don't even know what it is. Remember that you work with people and not with appearances. I hope you will remember this when you spend this tip to make good. Are we leaving, love?

- Ne brinite. Napojnice - svejedno to ostavljam vama. Za uslugu, koliko god bila neadekvatna, koja se pokazala grubom i sujetnom, kao da su vas moje bezimeno lice i moja neuredna odeća ovlastili da se tako ponašate prema meni, nikada ne govorim i nikada nisam koristio svoj status i svoje ime za privilegovan tretman. Takođe sam savetovao direktora da ne kaže da sam u prolazu. Za mene je autentičnost velika vrednost. U svim oblastima, a vidim ni ne znate šta je to. Zapamtite da radite sa ljudima, a ne sa izgledom. Nadam se da ćete zapamtiti ovo kada budete koristili ovaj novac za napojnicu za dobro. Idemo li, ljubav?


- Off we go

- Idemo.
