Just minutes before his annual review with his boss, the auction ends and to his surprise Mark WINS the online bid to take ownership of the business! He is now an entrepreneur and it's time to tell his boss how he really feels.

Mark intends to take over the restaurant the next day, but he must inform his wife of his risky, new opportunity. Her lack of support does not slow him down and he is anxious to be large and in charge!
The next morning, Mark approaches his new business to find complete chaos...fire, smoke, people scattering and a crew of misfits who are less than welcoming to their new leader. |

Just when Mark thought things couldn't get any worse, the store mascot - Bunzo the Clown, makes his way into the restaurant for "Bunzo Day." Meanwhile, a mob of customers and their children begin to arrive for the lunch hour, chanting "BUNZO! BUNZO!" Because of an unspeakable "incident," the clown is over medicated and in no condition to be around kids, so the incompetent staff quickly attemps to come up with a plan to avert the crisis.
Momentarily Mark pulls it together and believes the restaurant is operating smoothly. But his restaurant has a dark, infamous past and has been under pressure from the Health Department for quite some time. While Mark attempts to charm the female Health Inspector, he learns she is his former boss' wife, who he had just "told off" yesterday. Now things really get interesting.
Can Mark stick with the restaurant? Stay tuned...

Like it or not, everyone eats it. It's something we can relate to and is a natural fit for comedy. Yet we've never seen it featured on our TVs. This pilot is just the beginning of the hours of outlandish adventures we have planned for Fast Food.
