Hi there, It's likely they're saying 'ca y est' - meaning 'that's it, then', 'all done' or (in some circumstances) 'here we go again!) - a lot of regional accents chop this down to something sounding like 'sa ye' which could be what you're hearing. As for the restaurant expression - sounds like they're asking 'ca a ete'? how was it (lit: has it been). Hope this helps Allan www.lingolanguages.com
