Waiting...
A crew of under‑paid waitstaff at a chaotic diner scheme, flirt and prank their way through endless shifts, battling boredom and the pressure to quit before their lives burn out.
“What happens in the kitchen ends up on the plate.”
Synopsis
The young employees at Shenaniganz restaurant collectively stave off boredom and adulthood through their antics.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 6.2× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
