How about an example? Let’s say you have been recommended a certain dish, perhaps a Santorinian specialty, which is not on the menu and you are keen to try it. A conversation with the manager and the chef should see that dish being served up for you later. Another day could see you wanting a chauffeur driven car or a private yacht plus its captain.
