The movie shows a racist customer harassing the black waitress Andrea while her white colleague gets treated fine. It features a gay waiter getting groped by drunk American customers. The black sous chef Carly steps up to hold the kitchen together while the white head chef unravels from his own messes. These identity elements run through the one night of chaos but stay secondary to the personal and professional pressure.
