I have a part-time job at a English restaurant.
All menu are written by English, paying with dollars is okay!

Almost all customers are American people living in Okinawan bases.
Of course I'm doing my best all time, but I sometimes face language problems.
So, I need your help!!

At first, how do I say "Welcome." when guests come in?
I always say "Welcome. Good evening, sir/madam. How many people are you?"
I don't know it's good or not.
Let me know!

"Welcome" works and usually restaurants say: "How many people are in your party?" When asking how many would be seated at the table.

Thank you for your comment!
I see, I'll try to use that expression.
It's really important for us to know head-count.
