How the Show Works

Willie wants to find out the truth about a restaurant's service. So, he uses special hidden cameras. These cameras are placed secretly around the restaurant. They record everything that happens. This way, Willie can see what the staff does when they think no one is watching.

Willie also sends actors into the restaurants. These actors pretend to be regular customers. They might act a bit difficult or rude. This helps to test how the restaurant's employees handle tricky situations. After watching the hidden camera footage, Willie talks to the restaurant owners. He shows them the problems he found. Then, he helps them make their restaurant better.
