His mood varies depending on the number of tables being occupied then, his dimple would be beaming a lot. Otherwise, he would shake his head and stare flatly at the vacant vicinity.

The newly promoted Jung Yu Mi as the Executive Director is also the gimbap master! Admiringly, she was one of the busiest in the front kitchen as different flavors of orders swarmed on the board beside her and she still control the busiest hours.

He moves swiftly around the kitchen like a pro. With the help of his lectures and knowledge of how to do the recipe helps Taehyung very well. Their tandem was ideal.
Park Seo Jun would just laugh at the moments whenever the other members would complain about how their day went and how tired they are.
- Senior Intern: Choi Woo Shik
Choi Woo Shik is the senior all-around assistant! Tagging him as an all-rounder because- he occasionally washes the dishes, adds tables and chairs if needed due to the long queue of customers, prepares the drinks, is in charge of the trash, deals with the customer using Spanish words and phrases that he learned, and giving out of flyers.
It seems like he was naturally having conversations with different individuals but an “I” in his MBTI. He was Choi Woo Shik after all!
On the other hand, Woo Shik loves to delay the opening hours as he was drained from all of the works that happened the other day.
- New Intern: Kim Taehyung
The newly recruit intern Kim Taehyung is passionate with the work that was given to him. He was the human grater, the dishwasher, he was also flipping the open & close signage, and his signature dish with the supervision of Seo Jun is the fricken and hellamyeon.
One fact about Taehyung is that loves to eat a lot of ramyeon! He was a big eater wherein he could finish about 3-5 packs of it in just 1 meal. Also, he would crave Seo Jun’s corndog.
Aside from aiming another job title which is the sous chef, Seo Jun would tell him to do more. Taehyung would sing his heart with emotions depending on the current situations they are in plus, the lyrics that they can relate into it. He was the back kitchen vocalist and the dancing machine.
Witness how the staffs manages the different circumstances to reach their quotas throughout the day!
