Sonoda, and it features Joe Dinicol as Max, the restaurant's newly appointed manager, John Bregar as Trevor, a chef with anger management issues, and Kristen Hager as Amy, Max's ex-girlfriend who also works at the restaurant.
The plot revolves around Max, who is determined to turn the restaurant around and make it a success. However, he must first deal with the various problems that arise, including a health inspector who threatens to shut the restaurant down, a rival restaurant owner who poaches his customers, and a staff who are less than motivated to help.
As Max tries to improve his financial situation, he has to deal with Amy, his ex-girlfriend who he learns is now seeing the one person he hates most in the world. Max's efforts to win Amy back or to forget about her altogether, puts a strain on his friendships and threatens to derail his management efforts.

Together, they provide a series of comedic moments that keep the audience engaged throughout the movie.
As the staff works together to keep the restaurant afloat, they also strive to overcome their personal problems, including Max's unrequited love for Amy, and Tony's attempts to outdo Trevor in the kitchen. However, they soon realize that they need to pull together to save the restaurant, and they do so in a way that is both heartwarming and hilarious.
