It could mean "his" , "her", "your" singular formal, "their", or "your" plural, both formal and informal . I always thought it was "in your mouth" , like talking to the customer(s) directly.

a strange formality considering the phrase... surely one has achieved tu by that point? But considering the history, perhaps not

Part of me is just hoping it's NOT "in his mouth". Given how usted a lot of Latin American can be, maybe they don't wanna offend? Or it's an in joke and they want conversations like this to happen

Given we live in a city that probably has more Latino restaurants owned by white people than Latinos, you're probably right
