sorry kept you waiting

Hi,

sometimes people may wait a little more then expexted to get served and I would love to know how to apologize with them about this...

I usually go for this first: "I'm sorry, the food/the drink is on its way!"

then: "I'm sorry I kept you waiting!"

thanks

Someone will be along soon to tweak my politeness. But this should be OK for now.
