"What's On The Menu?" As soon as she took her seat, the waiter gave her the menu. The restaurant itself was deserted as not much customers came by. She thought nothing of it and started skimming through the menu only to find barely anything, but a special dish. She started looking around for the waiter to ask about another menu, or whether they had the restaurant's main menu.

Immediately, with barely any customers looking at her, she stood up and tried to get the waiter's attention, but she was being ignored

Immediately, with barely any customers looking at her, she stood up and tried to get the waiter's attention, but she was being ignored. It wasn't until she had heard a faint scolding from what she assumed to be the head chef or manager that the waiter rushed outside to attend to her needs. The waiter started apologizing and explained the situation as well as the event they're preparing for, which was why everybody was busy for the preparation. She sits back down on her seat as the two of them started talking.

Her: there's barely anything on your menu...
Waiter: our apologies miss, our staff are all busy in preparation for a big celebration
Her: oh, I understand... I guess that I'll just go to a different place then, if that's okay. I don't want to be rude in attending something I'm not invited to.
Waiter: actually miss, this celebration marks the opening of our newly opened restaurant, and we're extending our welcome to all new customers including you, miss.
Her: oh, in that case... I guess it's an honor to be the first?
Waiter: (buzzer starts vibrating) my apologies, miss, but I am being called back to the back.

As soon the waiter left, other customers started coming in few at a time. Without noticing it, customers came in at specific intervals, as she didn't took any notice at all. She paid no mind to the other customers and just glanced at the new designs of the newly opened restaurant, as they claimed to be...

Meanwhile, back at the kitchen...
Chef: (while looking back at the lady customer through the window of the door) she'll be perfect enough...
Waiter: we only have one customer...
Chef: (shakes in disagreement) not anymore... Look! she's perfect for the grand special anyways, since she's the first to come...
Waiter: what do you mean grand special?
Chef: we are going to serve her
Waiter: but there's barely anything on the menu...
Chef: don't worry, I'll take care of that. Leave it all to me...
Waiter: whatever you say, boss...
