Where shall we go this year?

Well, how about Ririco cafe near Ebisu station? I haven't confirmed its availability on fixed date, but it was so nice when I visited there in private. Since our president name is Ririco, the same name as the cafe's name, it becomes a good remarks.

Well, how about Ririco cafe near Ebisu station? I haven't confirmed its availability on a fixed date, but it was so nice when I visited it privately. Since our president's name is Ririco, just like the cafe's name, it would be a good remark.

1. Use the indefinite article (a) to introduce a non-specific noun that starts with a consonant sound.
2. Correct word choice here. The pronoun (it) is used as the subject of a verb, or the object of a verb or preposition, to refer to a thing, animal, situation, or idea that has already been mentioned.
3. The expression might seem unclear to your audience. Consider using the alternative to mean the same thing.
4. Change the noun form to possessive.
5. This is a more precise way of saying the same thing. The original sentence seemed unclear.
6. Consider replacing the word. The modal verb (would) is used to refer to a situation that you can imagine happening.
No, this is the first time I am hearing about it. According to what you are saying it sounds like a cool place. Tell me about your experience when you visited

Of course. I went there last week with my friend. I had lunch there, and it was so delicious, and also, the price was very cheap. I ask the staff about the possibility of having a party, and they responded that it was negotiable. We can charter the cafe if we guarantee a certain price.

1. Consider breaking up this sentence for a better flow of speech. In addition, (and) and (also) seem to imply the same thing here. Consider using one word at a time.
2. Adjust the tense here since you are indicating something that has already happened.
That's a great idea then.
Did you check if the place is big enough to accommodate everyone at the office?

Yes, I asked them about it. Actually, they have a experience to accommodate 60 people. You know, there are 40 people in our office, so I don't think there are problems if we invite some guests.

1. Consider using article 'the' in front of plural or singular nouns to describe something that is specific or unique.
2. The original expression might seem unclear to your audience. Here is an alternative that fits this context.
Oh, that's good! When do you think is the best day to hold the party at Ririco Cafe? Please check if they offer a discount for senior citizens because many of our staff are seniors already.

As for the date, we have to decide it after confirming the schedule of key persons. Considering the cost, I heard that weekdays are better that weekends. I haven't the discount for seniors yet, so I will ask them later.

1. Correct your spelling here.
2. Add the missing words for a better flow of speech.
I agree. Once everyone lets us know when they are available, we will be able to set a date. When should we ask them?

Well, we should do that earlier in order to secure their schedule and book the cafe. Let's decide up. Could you confirm their availability? I will list up invitees and try to ask their schedule. Is it okay with you?

1. (decide up) seems unclear. Consider making some adjustments here for clarity.
2. The preposition (about) is used to indicate concerning.
3. Use the plural form since (their) indicates the plural form.
