special request
Personalized service demand
A special request is an appeal for accommodation beyond standard service or procedure.
Hotels field special requests for room preferences, dietary needs, or early check-in.
The phrase implies asking for something not automatically provided: I put in a special request for a window seat.
In restaurants, special requests modify dishes: no onions, dressing on the side.
