Projekt: Unser Restaurant

Projekt: Unser Restaurant
Tag 1 am Computer: fällig am 5. März (Donnerstag)
DO NOT USE GOOGLE OR ANY OTHER ONLINE TRANSLATION.
Everything needs to be phrased in your own unique German for this project.
This stage of the project may be old-school (hand-written) or computer-generated. If
computer-generated, submit via google docs.
Schritt 1: Was für ein Restaurant wollt ihr?
Wollt ihr ein Familienrestaurant, einen Schnellimbiss oder ein elegantes
Restaurant mit Terasse/Garten? Was für Kunden wollt ihr? (Familien?
Schüler/Studenten? Touristen? Senioren?) Wann ist das Restaurant geöffnet? Täglich
oder habt ihr einen Ruhetag? Von wann bis wann? Keep in mind that you will be required
to have at least 3 „Gänge“ on your menu: Vorspeise, Hauptspeise, Nachspeise +
Getränke
Schritt 2: Wie heiΒt euer Restaurant?
Brainstorm a short list of adjectives in German that would describe your
restaurant and attract the type of customers you seek. Work with your partner to invent a
clever German name for your restaurant.
Schritt 3: Wo ist euer Restaurant?*
Wollt ihr euer Restaurant lieber in der Stadt oder auf dem Lande aufmachen? An
einer See oder am Fluss? in den Bergen? mitten im Wald? in der Stadtmitte?
Transport: Wie kommen die Leute in euer Restaurant? Gibt es eine Haltestelle
für einen Bus oder die Straßenbahn in der Nähe? (Is there a stop for public transit
nearby?)
Gibt es Parkplätze? Wieviele?
*Important: you must find a specific (real!) site within the German-speaking countries for
your restaurant and include a map showing its location. Never mind if there’s already
another business there. Assume they are going out of business and are ready to sell.
Schritt 4: Die Spezialität des Hauses
Many restaurants have a few specialty items on their menus that are customer favorites.
Locations near a forest, for example, may feature mushroom dishes and game, such as
venison and wild boar. Decide with your partner on a “specialty of the house,” taking into
account your restaurant’s location and traditional specialties for that region. Do be careful
with more exotic vocabulary, however. Your classmates will need to order from your
menu auf deutsch.
Hausaufgabe (fällig am 5. März):
- Integrate or even draw a map of your restaurant’s location, labeling landmarks,
geographical features, streets, and (if applicable) nearest subway, bus or tram
stop—all in German of course! Mark the exact location of your restaurant.
- Write a brief description in German of your restaurant’s location, including
important geographical markers. Explain why you chose the location--auf
deutsch!
Projekt Restaurant
Tag 2-3 am Computer
Die Speisekarte: fällig am 10. März
Schritt 1: Was wollen wir servieren?
Consulting your Speisen vocab lists and the web, come up with 2-4 dishes for each
category on the menu. Keep in mind the type of restaurant and location you have chosen.
You must include at least two regional specialties (typical of your
German/Austrian/Swiss area) and a minimum of 9 food items spread among the three
food categories +3-4 Getränke. Although online menus often give elaborate descriptions,
you should list items as simply as possible. Remember that your classmates are going to
be ordering off of the menu, and they will not want to look up umpteen words.
Die Kategorien sind:
(1) Vorspeisen und Beilagen (including at least one non-potato veggie) (2)
Hauptgerichte/Hauptspeisen, (3) Getränke, (4) Nachspeisen
Bonus: Speisekarten including all major food groups. Das sind: Getränke,
Brot/Getreide (=grain), Obst, Gemüse (mit Farbe),
Fisch/Fleisch/Nüsse/Bohnen.
Schritt 2: Preise festlegen. To appeal to tourists or business people from the U.S., provide
prices in both U.S. dollars and the local currency—euro or Schweizer Franken.
- Consider how much you want to charge for your food and beverages, and assign
prices in dollars to your menu items.
- Using an international currency converter on the web (www.xe.com), determine
the equivalent prices in Euro/Schweizer Franken
- Round up to the nearest tens of cents to set the local price.
Example: round € 1,589 up to €1,60.
Schritt 3: Speisekarte schreiben!
- Make a menu using papers, pencils and markers, or design it on the computer.
Remember to include the various categories as in Schritt 1 above, the items within those
categories, and the prices both in the appropriate foreign currency and in U.S. dollars.

For examples of traditional (German) menus, try searching in google.de, combining
“Speisekarte” with one of the following: Gasthof, Gaststätte, Imbiss. Use these just as
examples. Your menu should draw as much as possible on the core vocabulary (packets)
that you share with the class.

Restaurant Realistic Role Play
Your role play MUST be realistic to get any points. Your job is NOT to make it cutesy
and funny. You will be graded based on how many of the realistic points you cover. The
more realistic you are, the more points you get. Your role play may not be read from a
script. You will prepare a script for the purposes of practicing the scenario, but you will
need to improvise when it comes time for the performance.
Three characters are needed: one server (with own menu), two customers.
1. Ask the server appropriate questions to narrow down your choices.
2. Server serves the food.
3. While you eat, take the time to catch up on your dining companion’s life.
Scenario: you’re good friends who have been too busy to get together in the past
month. Was hast du gemacht? Make things up if you have to but keep it in
German.
4. Pay and tip the German way.
5. The server must be realistic. Don't leave the customers alone--check their
beverages, how the meal is, etc.
