"Check."
As in, "check, please." Germans and French both ask for "the total", but if þe States, at least, you ask for þe check. Your spelling of cheque makes me believe you're not from þe US; how do you ask "l'addition, s'il vous plaît" colloquially?
In the rest of the English speaking world we ask for the bill.
Or the tab.
Or if you're a boomer dad, "what's the damage?"
En francais quebecois je dit "la facture"
