Ordering food

Hi, im just wondering..if im ordering food from a shop..and i want to take the food back to the hotel to eat..how do you say "take out" in japanese?
like..

by shop do you mean a convenience store (7-11, Lawson's, Family Mart) or a restaurant? int he first case they automaticaly give you a bag, napkins etc.
in the second case, if you do not sit at a table but stay by the counter and show them an empty shoping bag and wave it towards the door they get the picture. It works for me anyway!.

"Take out (TE-I-KOO A-OO-TOH) wo onegai shimasu. " (Take out, please)
"...wo onegai shimasu" is a convenient phrase. "MIZU wo onegai shimasu (water, please)" "Spoon (soo-poon) wo onegai shimasu (Spoon, please)" and so on :)

If you mean like at McDonald's, I think I can help you. I had to learn this one pretty fast. At such restaurants you can say "koko-de tabemasu" (I'll eat here, i.e. eat-in) or you can say "o-mochi kaeri" (not really sure what it means literally, but it definitely is understood as an English speaker's version of "take out").

The last post was right. If you are going to eat in the restaurant you say "koko de taberu," which means I'll eat here. If you want to take it with you, you say "o mochi kaeru," which can be translated as I'll carry it home.

I asked this very same question to a Japanese person. Her response was:

For here: Ten nai de

Take out: Mochi kaeri de
