Going to a Restaurant

Going to a restaurant doesn't have to be tough, it can be fun! This social story goes over what your child can expect in a restaurant to help them prepare for a fun meal out!

Going to a Restaurant Today we're going to eat a meal at a restaurant!
Sometimes, we eat meals at home or school, and other times, we go to a restaurant.
Restaurants are where people go to have a meal cooked by a chef.
When I get to the restaurant, there might be a wait for our table.
Once our table is ready, the host will take us to our table and give us menus.
In the restaurant, there might be:
Tables with people talking
Servers carrying food
Many delicious smells
Dinner music playing
If I need help, an adult can help me pick what I want to eat as my meal.
I can let the server know my choice when they come to the table to take our order.
We might enjoy some bread or an appetizer while we wait for our meal.
Once our meals are ready, the server will put my plate in front of me.
I can say or sign, "Thank you!"
During our time in the restaurant, I will have a calm body and calm voice as we sit at the table and enjoy our meal.
Once we finish eating our meals, we will pay for the food we enjoyed and head home.
Going to a restaurant can be a fun way to spend time with friends and family while enjoying delicious food!Download Now!
