If you plan to arrange a colleague dinner with the chef in the canteen, you can directly find the chef and politely ask him your request. You can say, "Hello, there are several colleagues here who want to eat here. Can you help us prepare some dishes? " .

When communicating with the chef, it is best to consider the time, place, number of people and approximate budget of the dinner in advance. This information can help chefs better understand your needs, prepare suitable food for you, and ensure a smooth dinner.

At the same time, if you have some special dietary needs or restrictions, such as vegetarian food, allergies, etc., you should also inform the chef in advance so that they can prepare suitable dishes for you.

In short, when communicating with the chef, you should be polite and friendly, and explain your own requirements and needs in detail as much as possible to ensure the smooth progress of the dinner.
