"In Jacksonville, Fla., Robert strives to save The Secret Garden Caf\u00e9, a failing breakfast\/lunch locale owned by partners Zack and Michael. From the get go, it's obvious that this restaurant has no clear direction or theme, less-than-thrilling dishes, disorganized staff, and haphazard d\u00e9cor. Robert spins into action by putting staff through the wringer, creating new dishes, updating the d\u00e9cor in massive ways, and marketing the restaurant while working tirelessly to ensure all is set for a successful grand re-opening. With countless ups and downs throughout, this mission could prove impossible."

Robert has his hands full on this mission teaching her everything there is to know about managing a restaurant, updating the menu, brightening up the d\u00e9cor and getting the word out about the restaurant on live TV.

Christine and Jeffrey Spencer have been running this restaurant for less than a year and, at this rate, may not make it another year. Christine's father bought it for her in hopes that Sweet Tea would be the break she needed to be able to take care of her family.

The downtrodden diner has been in existence for 5 years and is now on the verge of bankruptcy due to mismanagement, a lack of identity and an overall cleanliness issue. The owner, a former Marine, has sunk his lifesavings into the restaurant and is now in jeopardy of losing everything.

With two days to get this place back on its feet, Robert kicks into high gear - interviewing new chefs, overhauling the d\u00e9cor and updating the menu.

After many successful years, the Italian restaurant has fallen on hard times and is now only 4 to 6 months from closing forever. Adding to the difficulties, Bill recently fired his head cook, who happens to be his oldest son. Customers are now complaining about a noticeable decline in the food quality.
