I remember that when this movie came out in theatres, people didn't really know what to expect. And of coarse the movie bombed in the theatres. Well when I bought this movie, I watched it and realized that it is accurate, very funny and over really good. I have worked in a restaurant myself and I know all the sick things that some chefs would actually do. This movie just goes in depth on a day-in-the-life, of normal people working in a small restaurant. It shows when the day begins, all the way to the end of the shift. Another thing about this movie that made it so funny was a game that the men of the restaurant played. This game involves making somebody "unwillingly" look at their package down below. Well as you can see, the movie is hilarious and I definitely recommend it.
Plot summary
Employees at a Bennigan's-like restaurant (called, creatively enough, Shenanigan's), kill time before their real lives get started. But while they wait, they'll have to deal with picky customers who want their steak cooked to order and enthusiastic managers who want to build the perfect wait staff. Luckily, these employees have effective revenge tactics.

Accurate, Funny, and Good
Done that...
In my early 20s, I worked at a pizza/sandwich restaurant (fun but low wages); then an upscale restaurant (tolerated the BS as a server); then worked at a small dinner club, cocktail waitress (so-so but not my thing). Joined the Air Force, which helped landing a great GOV job.) In my 50s tried the dish washing as a side hustle to pay off some debts, but quit after one night (when I was asked to mop and clean the fryers, which I refused to do, given the pay).
We all can use these life lessons. PS: I'm very good at tipping (generous).
"Don't f*<k with people who handle your food." should be noted on all menus...just saying.
Gave 8 Stars for some of the really disgusting stuff. (I personally never witnessed any of that.)
Far more realistic than you think
Having spent over 30 years running bars in several countries, I can say hand on heart that there is so much in this movie that is either spot on or even sometimes understated. It reminded me so so many different times and places. A big word of advice, being nasty to your waiter will get you more than you bargained for in many countries, not just the States. You have been warned.
