How Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service transformed Marvel Ranch in episode 5

Gordon pointed out to Cheryl that her staff didn't respect her, nor did they have the zeal to fight for the business. They didn't even want to set standards. He brought to light the dead mouse he found in the basement and the grill tray that hadn't been cleaned for over a week. Initially, he thought he couldn't change the restaurant because the staff seemed like they would never change.

But then he recognized the potential for change and implemented it. He helped Kenny, the cook, understand what Cheryl was experiencing and how that would impact the business, making Kenny more willing to adopt a disciplined approach.

Gordon also took the staff to a boxing match to unwind and rethink their updated roles. He explained to Cheryl that she needed to act like their boss, not their mother, which she understood and accepted.

The interior team transformed the restaurant into a 1970s diner theme, complete with new kitchen equipment. Gordon also showed the cooks how they could make an omelette within 90 seconds and got the restaurant up and running.
