The team then reveals themselves to the owners and staff, much to their surprise. Chef Ramsay takes control of the situation and begins to transform the restaurant. He first tackles the menu, pushing for fresh and local ingredients, while also simplifying dishes where necessary. Then he moves to the kitchen, where he identifies the need for better appliances and tools, and also a better-trained and organized team of chefs.

Simultaneously, the design team begins to work on renovating the restaurant's interior. They strip the interiors of the old decor, which is reminiscent of a 70s-style beach bar and give it a more contemporary and modern look.

Throughout the episode, viewers are treated to some behind-the-scenes footage of the team working tirelessly to bring the restaurant back to life. Alongside the renovation process, Chef Ramsay takes the time to instruct the restaurant owners and staff on various aspects of running a successful restaurant, from food preparation to customer service.

After the 24-hour transformation, Chef Ramsay finally presents the new restaurant to the public. The owners and staff are thrilled with the renewed energy in the restaurant and work hard to maintain the new standards set by Chef Ramsay. It is a night of joy and celebration as customers come back to the restaurant, brimming with enthusiasm for the freshly prepared food and renewed ambiance.
