Booking a Table in New York: Fifteen or Five?

Hi there! Welcome to Rosie's. Have you booked a table?

Not yet. I was hoping to book one for tomorrow night.

Sure thing! How many people will be joining you?

There'll be five of us.

Fifteen? Wow, that's quite a big group!

Ha, no! Just five. I should've spoken more clearly.

Oh, five! Phew, that makes things much easier.

And what time were you thinking of?

Would it be possible to come at 7:30?

Hmm, I'm afraid we're fully booked at 7:30.

But I could fit you in at 7:15 or 8:45.

7:15 sounds perfect. We'll be starving by then!

Great! Could I get a phone number, just in case?

Of course. It's 07700 900 128.

Oh, that's not a US number, is it?

No, it's British. With the code, it's +44 7700 900 128.

Okay... +44, 77...

Sorry, what does double oh mean?

Ha, sorry! It means two zeros. Zero, zero.

Oh, I get it! So it's 7700. Got it!

Let me read it back: +44 7700 900 128.

That's it. You've got it exactly right!

And whose name should I put the booking under?

Hughes. That's H-U-G-H-E-S.

Perfect. A table for five, tomorrow at 7:15.

Thanks so much. See you tomorrow!

See you then! Give us a call if you're running late.

Will do. Have a good night!
