In the UK the same question is usually Eat in or take away?, and the answer is Eat in, please. or Takeaway, please. The American form is understood almost everywhere, but the British word for the food and the shop is takeaway, not takeout.
If you are staying, some cafes hand you a table number or a tray instead of calling your name, so answer before you go and choose a seat. If you are leaving, spell your name when they ask: the shortest version is the one they will call out. When the question arrives as a shorter form asking whether you are eating in, the answer is still yes, please, or to go, please.
