I thought I posted this before but couldn't find it in the thread. The review was clearly mixed. I think the author here is probably right, it praises Carmy as an obvious genius but criticizes the staff for failing to execute consistently, including with service. His concern is that he's going to have to address that the staff he's put together isn't good enough. Because they are key characters they aren't going to be fired, but there is going to be serious drama in how to make them better and he's going to struggle with how to do that without becoming a complete asshole like Joel McHale's character.

I can see that.  Going back to folding boxes again (iirc it's been a part of 3 scenes) may be analogous to how the staff "didnt get it" wrt to the standards.
