Serve a busy dining room with Rody while the relationship between waiter and chef starts to cast the restaurant in a different light.
Before your first run
Compare the demands of serving a table with the cost of leaving a problem unattended. Here money is not the only thing that makes a shift uncomfortable.
A practical first attempt
Separate the service task from the story clue. During a busy shift, note which table needs attention before crossing the room. Between shifts, give conversations your full attention rather than reading them as another order.
What to watch on a first run
Treat the dining room as a sequence of unfinished tasks. Before leaving a table, decide what brings you back: another request, a delivery, or a chance to check on the guests. Walking across the room without a destination makes service feel more frantic than it needs to be.
A controlled second attempt
The restaurant works in two registers. A detail can be a practical cue during service and take on an entirely different significance in a conversation afterward. Once the pressure eases, slow down. Notice who describes a problem, whose account you are hearing, and what that person stands to lose.
After the opening scene
A full-endings video is a poor first aid for a missed order. If you need help with service, watch only the relevant early shift and pause before a scene change. If you want to compare story outcomes, finish your first run independently and keep a note of the point where your experience differs.
