A specific explanation helps the server identify the item to review.

The idea

Say that there may be an error, identify the item listed twice and explain that your group ordered one. Politely ask for the amount and corrected bill to be checked.

Examples

  • Creo que hay un error en la cuenta.I think there is an error on the bill.
  • Esta bebida aparece dos veces.This drink appears twice.
  • Solo pedimos una.We ordered only one.
  • ¿Puede revisar el importe, por favor?Could you check the amount, please?
  • ¿Podría traerme la cuenta corregida?Could you bring me the corrected bill?
  • Gracias, ahora está bien.Thank you, it is correct now.
