The first few minutes with the family purchasing and fixing up the restaurant and interviewing employees was easily the highlight of the episode-- several funny moments, in fact I wish they showed even more bad interviews. The rest of the episode was...meh. There was just nothing that exciting in the episode otherwise, easily on the bottom of the list of specials. I think it would've been better if they made the focus more on things going wrong opening night instead of focusing on the results of all the kids' promotional ideas. Would've been nice to have scenes with Lynn Sr leaving the Aloha Comrade and thanking Sergei for getting him started and have Timothy McNeil (who's supposed to be a big name culinary personality) there or at least mentioned since he invested in the restaurant for continuity if nothing else. The scene with the kids coming up with ideas in Lori and Leni's room wasn't really necessary since they introduced them 1 by 1 in the restaurant anyway IMO, the only funny part was Lily's artwork pitch. The interview scene with the family puppeting Lynn Sr was good but it's a pretty overdone gag.

Other things: -Lisa's idea being to offer bottomless fries was kinda odd, I thought she'd suggest some high end or it would be something more intelligent or scientific to fit her character. -Lynn Sr should've hired a couple of cooks... At least everything is freshly made though. -"watch out for the tree monster, especially if he offers you candy" sounded like a child molester reference. That took me by surprise to hear.
