An anxious owner rallies his staff as they stand around ready in their new uniforms. It's not a big change, but it really pulls together the new identity and puts Tito's new look firmly in the minds of the throng of locals now starting to throng outside. Gordon reiterates the importance of getting this right, tonight, on what is arguably one of the most important nights of the married owners' lives. And so with a musical flourish and a expanding overhead establishing shot, the evening's service begins. 2, 3, 4 tables of starters orders come in thick and fast. 3 calamari,2 mushroom, 2 clams - Yes, Chef, and the kitchen hots up in a flurry of activity. Orders for wine, guests being seated - welcome to Tito's, anxious kitchen staff look out on a rapidly filling dining room - unused to having so many orders coming in in such a short amount of time. Luckily Gordon's new menu it full of dishes that can be quickly prepared and cooked - if only the chef was more familiar with them. If only dishes hadn't started coming back. Cold. Undercooked - come on ! Not tonight, guys, of all nights. Flustered sous chefs and servers exchange heated words and glances across the hatch. They're going as fast as they can. Unimpressed by this unfolding drama, Gordon pulls key staff into the back where after a rousing talk they emerge inspired and the next few minutes are peppered with vox pops from important looking dinner guests extolling the virtues of both the new food and the wonderful new decor. They would definitely being coming back again - what a wonderfully inspired change to the menu to reflect the new identity and brand positioning of the restaurant which was formerly a disused [industrial premises]. The wife can't believe the success of the opening night, and Gordon reassures her that they're back on track now. She sobs into his manly shoulder and he calls her 'my dear'. As the final guests leave, Gordon once again rallies the entire staff, and after sharing a quick joke, affirms his belief in them, the menu and the restaurant before expressing minor doubts in his solo piece to slightly-off-camera and walking off into a picturesque night-time street. Music plays.
