Conversation 174 (Listen and Read)

Thanks for calling Shade on the Canal.

How can I help you?

Good afternoon.

I was calling to inquire about renting out your private room for a retirement party for a coworker.

We will have forty to fifty people.

No problem.

My name is Hannah and I will help you with that.

We have held many retirement parties in the back.

You will need our larger room, which can fit up to sixty people and costs $200 per event.

That should be okay.

Is there a deposit I need to pay?

Well, we will take your credit card details

but we won't charge you until thirty days before the event.

Okay, I will give you the corporate credit card.

I was hoping to have the party on November 23rd,

beginning in the early afternoon, around 1 P.M?

We were hoping to bring a celebratory cake and her favorite bottles of beer.

We do have that date available,

and the cake won't be a problem,

but we don't allow any outside alcohol.

If you let us know the brand, we will be able to provide it for you.
