hey guys. I checked Google translator and double-checked each word, but i need to make sure...is the following sentence grammatically correct?
"OK, yo vuelvo cuando ustedes son listos ordenar."
I't's supposed to mean "okay, i'll come back when you're ready to order."
I may have written it down wrong as the speaker was saying it though. I need this to be an absolutely grammatically correct, Native-speaker-worthy sentence!

Nope, never trust those on-line tranlators
Ok (or "de acuerdo"), regresaré (or regreso or vuelvo) cuando estés* listo para ordenar
* use "estés" if you're addressing one person you know
* use "esté" if you're addressing one person you don't know
* use "estén" if you're addressing more than one person (Latin America)
*use "estéis" if you're addressing more than one person (Spain only)
Hope that helps ;)

The correct translation is: Muy bien, yo vuelvo cuando estén listos para ordenar.

The correct translation is "Ok, yo vuelvo cuando ustedes esten listos para ordenar" or "Regreso cuando ustedes esten listos para ordenar".

I wouldn't say "ordenar", but "pedir". I guess that you mean order your meal, or something? In that case, in Spanish we say "pedir".
I'm native Spanish and I would say: "De acuerdo, volveré cuando estén listos para pedir"
More fluently, in Spanish we would say "Muy bien, volveré cuando sepan lo que quieren pedir" (I'll come back when you know what you want to order). It is not litteral, but it is more natural.
Besos!

"Okay, I´ll come back when you´re ready to order" in correct Spanish would be "OK, yo vuelvo cuando ustedes estén listos para pedir."

This is useful too:
Muy bien, volveré cuando tengan lista su orden.
Muy bien, volveré cuando alisten su orden.
