Kanji in this phrase

食後に: しょくごに
お飲み物は: おのみものわ
お食事と: おしょくじと

Why this phrase

A family restaurant or cafe at lunch. Hana plays the server, Kōfuku plays the customer. Set lunches come with a drink, and staff genuinely ask when you want it, so the answer decides whether your coffee goes cold beside the rice. Hana asks 「お飲み物は、お食事と一緒にお持ちしますか？」 and Kōfuku answers 「食後にお願いします。」 The same slot takes 「先にお願いします。」 for before the meal. Keep the b-roll on a table-service set lunch, not a self-serve drink bar. Hook and payoff stay in English so this reads at survival level.
