First of all,
Im not sure if I can use "play" for this.
We do this at our classroom, so it's not like we are going some real shop to work there or any thing like that, but we actually make some and eat!
Is "Play" ok to use for this?
This may be too complicated, but I would call it "performing a skit". A skit is like a play but it is a more formal way of referring to it.

Q1. What's the titles of the workers there?
*manager
*sub manager or vise manager????
*kitchen hand? or cook?
*shop assistant??? (the person getting the order at the counter?)
*and any other workers?
Manager, Assistant Manager, Cooks, and Registerperson would be my guesses. Registerperson is the one in front taking orders from customers while the other three positions are responsible for the food preparation and keeping the business running smoothly. I also seem to remember the employee who takes orders from the customers simply being called "front personnel".

Q2. How do you order drinks?
(Can I have)... an orange juice small size?
or is it better to say ONE orange juice to make sure the number?
you don't say a (paper)cup of orange juice do you???

We are not sure about this...
2 small size orange juice? or juices?
2 orange juice small size?

Can you tell us the natural way to order?
The usual way to order is "I'll have two small orange juices, please."

Q3. About take away

When I was in Australia, they say like....
"Eat here or take-away?" or "Have here or take-way?"

I heard that there are other ways to ask.

Can you tell us how they'd ask you in your country?
They usually say "Is that to eat in or take out?" (North America)

Q4. some kids want to make crape.
but is it crEpe? or crApe? the thin pancake ones?

How can we ask the customer what they want in it?
The kids want to wrap around.
There will be some kind of jams... whipped cream...some fruits.

So the shop assistant(??) should say

"What would you like for your crepe?"
"What would you like for the toppings??"
"How would you like your crepe?"
"What fruit would you like for your crepe?"
"Would you like some jam in your crepe?"
It's "crepe". The best way for a customer service employee to ask would be "What would you like in your crepe?"

Sorry I have too many questions!
No problem. I'm just hoping my advice is of some use.


Fortunately, there is one woman in this world who can control me.

Unfortunately for you, she is not here.
