Restaurant おそろい and 「先生も行かれますか」

御注文の品はおそろいになりましたでしょうか

Input

御注文の品はおそろいになりましたでしょうか

Natural Japanese

御注文の品は、そろいましたでしょうか／御注文の品は、以上でよろしいでしょうか

お〜になる is sonkeigo. おそろいになる elevates the *dishes*, which feels odd. Ask if everything is ready / if that is all — without treating plates as people.

Manual scripts exist to keep service wording at a baseline. They work only if staff and trainers keep thinking about what each form actually elevates. Form-only keigo with no eye contact still fails — the guideline’s point is stance, not karaoke of polite strings.

先生も行かれますか — OK-ish, but weaker in Tokyo

Input

先生も行かれますか

Natural Japanese

先生もいらっしゃいますか

行かれる is valid sonkeigo, but in Tokyo-area habits いらっしゃる often feels higher and more usual toward a teacher. Regions differ — some places 行かれる already carries enough care.
