Restaurant reservations Part 3: Asking about any ongoing promotions or special menus.

💬 [～したいです] attaches to the action part of a verb to mean "I'd like to do ...": [食べたいです] for "I'd like to eat," [予約したいです] for "I'd like to reserve." Here the verb is tucked into the noun-verb combo [予約する], so [予約したいです] means "I'd like to make a reservation."

💬 [予約したいです] uses [～たいです] for "I'd like to ...," which is handy for requests without sounding too direct. You can swap in other actions the same way, like [確認したいです] for "I'd like to confirm."

💬 [名] is the counter for people in formal service Japanese, and [様] makes it extra polite. So staff often ask [何名様] instead of casual [何人].

💬 [でしょうか] softens a question and makes it more polite than a plain [ですか]. You'll hear it a lot in customer service, like [お名前は何でしょうか].

💬 [何名様でしょうか] is a very polite way to ask party size. In restaurants and hotels, [何人ですか] would be understandable, but this is the service-staff version you'll often hear.

💬 [4人] is said [四人] (yo-nin), not [yon-jin]. For people, [一人] and [二人] are special too: [ひとり], [ふたり].
