Spanish term or phrase: Retirar la silla
When the customers arrive in the dining room, the Waiter will see them to their tables and "retirar la silla a las señoras".

My guess is "remove the chair for the ladies" or "take away the chair for the ladies". Do these expressions sound fluent enough?

Thank you.
