His staff consists of manager Rich, eccentric waiter Nuts, callous Guy, pre-med Tara, ballet student Mia, aspiring actor Connor, angry chef Dave and his busboy twin brother Donnie.

Cleon informs Rich that the restaurant needs to make $20,000 by the end of the night so that he can pay off a wager he made with the yakuza.

Rich initially offers the top selling waiter two tickets to an upcoming Norah Jones concert.

Connor is approached by movie star Marlon Specter who asks him to hide an engagement ring for his girlfriend in her dessert.

Meanwhile, Nuts begins acting strange while serving and Mia suffers a first-degree burn after Guy trips over Donnie and spills a piping hot soup in her face.

Rich informs them they are at $12,000 and an angry Cleon demands that the entire wait staff gather in his office immediately.

The rest of the staff grab Zongo and force him to take his medication, transforming him back into Nuts.

Rich gathers the wait staff and announces the top-seller as Tara, who is shocked to find out that Donnie gave her his $1,000 tip so that she'd win.

Rich finally confronts Cleon, taking the waiters tips back and demanding he pay Tara.
