8 roles

The Host: HenryMale18-24 y.o.All ethnicities

A Forensics Major who’s dangerously close to failing. His apathetic nature while at work causes him to take a final exam for his class, but he is quickly caught up in the chaos. Being the most rational one at work (just barely) the guy is just praying that life gets better than minimum wage.

The Head Chef: JorgeMale20-39 y.o.Latino / Hispanic

Artistically repressed and mentally depressed. After attending actual culinary school he had dreams to work at a well-respected establishment. Instead, he ended up at Benny’s where his soul was crushed. Being forced to cook shitty white people food for even shittier white people fills him with the desire to burn it all down. Note - Must be able to speak Spanish.

The Manager: MadelineFemale30-49 y.o.All ethnicities

Anxiety filled and asthmatic. She was made the captain of an already sinking ship, trying to fix the Bistro’s reputation and problems and being blamed for failing. Expected to hold it all together, if one more thing goes awry she might just snap.

The Server: SallyFemale20-29 y.o.All ethnicities

The sole Server and self-proclaimed psychic. In actuality she’s a loose lipped gossip with multiple side hustles. Selling inhalers to the Manager, peddling drugs to the Customers, she has to make ends meet somehow, and why not be high off your own supply while you do it.

The Sous Chef: EddieMale20-39 y.o.Latino / Hispanic

Sous Chef to Jorge. He highly admires his Head Chef with all his heart. Some may even describe it as love. At the same time he’s quick to anger, like a walking ticking time bomb in desperate need of therapy. The passionate Sous Chef is willing to do anything for his Jorge. Note - Must be able to speak Spanish.

The Health Inspector: DarrylMale30-59 y.o.White / Caucasian

As the Health Inspector he views himself as Justice within the food industry. The vaguely racist man loves to insert himself where he does not belong, and is convinced that the staff is full of psychopaths.

The Customer: Mason/BennyMale40-59 y.o.White / Caucasian

The Owner of the restaurant disguised as a customer. Undercover to investigate the loss of revenue at his business and firmly believes the staff are to blame. A proud misogynist ready to deliver justice to those he sees as beneath him.

The Critic: GuggenheimMale50-69 y.o.All ethnicities

A World Renowned Food Critic, not long for this world. He takes his responsibilities with the utmost focus and dedication. The pride he takes in tearing apart the minute details of each and every course is a joy he would die for.
