Tony M Nov 17, 2013:
@ Asker Sandra has just drawn my attention to the word 'bier' — is this some kind of German 'biergarten'? Or is that just a typo?
Tony M Nov 17, 2013:
@ Asker Since your text is clearly directed at catering professionals rather than the general public, it is important to note that 'check' takes on a different meaning whether it is used in the informal, everyday sense as with the customer ("Could I have the check please?", "Here's your check, madam" etc.) or in the specific technical sense of 'the amount spent per capita' (and note that in a similar technical usage, we often refer to 'a spend' in EN too, albeit not necessarily in catering).
As a working restaurant professional myself, I am very familiar with the correct technical jargon used in the industry.

neutral Tony M : As I have said elsewhere, 'ticket' is more usual jargon in the industry; and do note that it isn't 'your check' but 'your average' — it is of course the customer's check / Unconvinced; it is still the customer's check ;-)

but this is seen from the restaurant owner's point of view : "your check" = the average amount the customer pays in your restaurant, hence "votre note".
agree Daouda Gassama : Cette traduction est plus fluide et mieux adaptée.

addition moyenne

en proposant cela, ils pourront vendre des plats plus chers ou supplémentaires et faire augmenter le montant qu'un client dépense en moyenne au restaurant
Peer comment(s):
neutral Tony M : Although 'addition' is the word likely to be used with customers, I don't believe it is the normal 'insider jargon' used within the industry in this quite specific technical context.

chèque moyen

'
Peer comment(s):
disagree Tony M : 'check' is US EN for 'bill', as well as for a banking cheque. Referring to the latter would really make no sense at all in the stated context. / Of course not! And very few people still pay by cheque these days. 'check' (AE) also = 'note/addition/ticket'
11 mins
"check " is "chèque"! it refers to the amount spent by the customer

la moyenne des additions

Une autre façon de tourner les choses.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Tony M : Surely that would be 'check average', though? / Agree with you on that point; but I don't think this is the usual way it is expressed in the industry. 'average check' is a quite specific concept, and the same exists in FR. Spec. ? term is technical
10 mins
In this context, the two phrases are quasi synonyms. Cf the fact you could say "l'addition moyenne est dans la moyenne des additions."/I see your point but the vocabulary isn't technical ("amazing Dessert Bier Pairings" as a technical concept? Really ;-))

ticket moyen

This is the term we use in the FR restaurant industry; 'check' is US EN for a 'bill' in a restaurant, hotel, etc. In the specific context of catering industry calculations, this is referred to as a 'ticket' — though please note this would NOT be the word used to customers!

In our restaurant, my financial calculations required us to have a minimum of 20 covers / day with a 'ticket moyen' of €35; by dint of improving sales training for our staff, we got the 'ticket moyen' up to €40 and over.

Note that strictly speaking the 'ticket moyen' refers to the bill for the whole table, whereas 'couvert moyen' is the more correct term to refer to the average bill per head; however, in practice, the 'per head' figure is the one usually referred to, as being clearly more informative!

There are over 47,000 Ghits for "ticket moyen" + restauration, and many more if one broadens the field to marketing and sales generally.

Sadly not! I run a restaurant, I use these terms all the time, and of course it has nothing to do with a 'Ticket Restaurant' voucher! / This is specific technical terminology in the industry, not lay-person's language.
