[chicken clucks]

[grunts] Mmm!

Hmm... Mmmwah!

- Yah!
- Comin' right up!

Enjoy!

[slurps, smacking lips]

This new cafe is perfect!

The service, the coffee,



the music, the ambiance!

Oh, my gosh, Terry,
leave a review, already!

[gulping]

[ding]

We did it! The cafe's
a perfect A+.

Congratulations, Gloria!

That's a testament
to your leadership.

You mean, our leadership?

You're not the boss.
You don't "lead" anything.

OK, fine, but my gramma
co-owns the place.

That must make me somethin'!

You should be happy
you're not the boss.

It's a lot of pressure.
I don't even think

I can handle it sometimes.



But apparently, I can!
A+ rating, baby!

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have a perfect cafe to run.

And I've got
a garden to mulch!

[giggling]

Gloria doesn't know
what she's talkin' about.

I bet I could run this place,
no problem!

- ['80s music playing]
- [Bill] Great job, boss!

- We did all the work!
- While you sat there and did nothin'!

Yep, bein' the boss
sure is great!

[grunting] Hey, boss!

I finished counting
the bean inventory,

and we're at 1,287,003!

Thank you, Gloria. However,
it seems like ya missed one.

- Ope!
- [all laughing]

Get back to work!
[laughing]

[laughing] Classic me!

B+?! Why?

"The crepes
are too spongy"?

What do you mean,
the crepes are too spongy?

Are they crazy?!

Yellin' at technology?
Been there.

Someone left a bad review
and ruined

the café's perfect record.

Oof, in all caps. Savage.

What can I do about this?

Hey, Gloria? We're gettin'
a line out front.

Not now, Cricket, I'm busy.
Can't you handle it?

Hmm... [gasps]

Ya mean...like a boss?

- Yes, whatever.
- [squeals]

All righty, my first order
of boss business is...

Um, can I get
a coffee, please?

Yeah, yeah, that'll be
my next order of business.

- But first... Hey, Tilly.
- [accordion playing]

Now, I know you've been
playing music for Gloria,

but as the new boss,
I'm gonna need ya to--

Sorry, Cricket.
But nobody tells

Alouette Pomme Frites
what to do.

- Who the what?!
- My stage persona.

Alouette is
an independent contractor

and thus outside
your boss-man purview.

[groans] Well, then, who am I
gonna get to do my work for me?

Wait. I know!
I'll hire somebody!

- [snickers]
- It seems the hierarchy of power has shifted,

which gives me
the perfect opportunity.

- [accordion plays]
- Alouette Pomme Frites

can finally introduce
her stage persona...

Angelina See-Saw
McFeatherhat.

This is bad, this is bad!

Calm down. People only
write those reviews

because they got
nothin' better to do

and wanna feel good
about themselves.

- That's why I write 'em.
- You don't understand!

This isn't just about me.
Oh, no-no-no-no-no!

These reviews are public.
Everyone in Big City

is gonna think
we're a mediocre café

with spongy crepes!

You mean people read those?!

I just invested in this dump!
We gotta do somethin'!

I know! If only
we could figure out

who "CommunitySue72" is, and--

Oh...!

Wasn't even hidin' it.

Sue! Come on, Mrs. Green.

Let's take a little trip
to the community center.

- [tuning guitar]
- Hello, everyone.

I've got a very special
song I wrote

with a very special message.

Listen close, and maybe
you'll hear it.

♪ Goat got an office job
Got himself a white shirt ♪

- ♪ Then got laid off... ♪
- I don't get it just yet,

but maybe I gotta hear more.

All right, let's see,

- Mr. Reminald R. Remington.
- [whimpering]

I see you have a middle initial.
Very impressive.

Thank you, Cri-- I mean,
Mr. Green, Jr.!

Excuse me, you've got a line.

Please, ma'am. Can't you see
I'm in the middle of something?

[sighs] Forgive me.
Uh, "Reymold," was it?

It's whatever
you want it to be!

Well, Remily, what would you say
is your greatest weakness?

Oh, jeez, well, probably
rambling on too much

about my weaknesses...
or my indecisiveness...

Aah! You're doing
the thing, Remy!

I like what I'm hearing!
Welcome aboard!

Nailed it.

All right, Sue has the power
to make her review even worse.

- We need to handle this gently.
- Mm-hmm.

We know what you did, Sue!

I'm not responsible!
That kid signed a waiver!

What? We're talking about
the review you gave my cafe.

- Oh. Yeah. Ya got spongy crepes.
- I do not!

You're just taking
your anger out

on a successful
young businesswoman

because you're stuck
in this dead-end job!

I'll have you know
that this has been

my dream job
since I was a child!

[young girl]
♪ C-O-M-M-U-N-I-TY ♪

Why would you leave
such a negative review, then?

- It's just the truth.
- Well, if that's what you think,

perhaps my colleague and I
could change your mind.

By any means necessary!

Bring it on, Grandma!

No! I meant Sue
should come back to the cafe

and try my crepes again.

- I'm open to that.
- Yeah, that's more reasonable.

♪ Have you ever seen a hawk
playin' soccer with a sparrow ♪

♪ Hawks always win but
the point spread is narrow ♪

I'm trying
to hear the message,

but these lyrics
don't make sense!

[grunting]

Hiya! Can I get a large
mocha latte, please?

One large mocha latte,
coming up!

Ahh, now this
is the boss life.

Excuse, me boss. Quick Q!

What's a mocha latte,
and how do I make one?

What?! You don't know?
What'd I hire you for?

I don't know! I thought
you'd train me or something.

[groans] Come on.

- Here.
- Aah! Oof!

Man, this isn't
saving me work at all!

I didn't think I'd have
to train anyone.

Wait! I got it!

Congratulations, Benny!

You are now head
of employee training!

Benny's a cog in the machine!

All right, here you are.

This is the best seat
in the house.

Now prepare to eat the best
crepe you've ever tasted!

Heh-heh, what she said,
but less aggressive.

Un moment, s'il vous plaît.

All right, Gloria.

Time to show this lady
what's up.

[growling]

"Eh, oh, it's a spongy crepe."

I'll show her!

- Oh, hey, Glor--
- Crepes!

Heh-heh, well, keep it up.

Everything's
smooth sailing here!

Mr. Cwicket? Wemy won't
stock the pastwies.

Benny won't tell me
where they go!

Guys, guys, remember--
I'm the boss.

This isn't supposed
to be my problem.

- That's why I hired-- Kiki!
- Hm, what's up?

You're supposed to keep
these two on task!

Uh-huh, yeah.
Good work, you two.

- [giggles, gasps]
- Gabriella!

You're supposed to keep
Kiki from slacking!

Oh, word? I thought I was
just here to play pranks.

[exclaims, coughing]

Ugh, this is a disaster.

Weezie! You'll fix this!
Want a job, buddy?

Ha-ha! So nice,
got hired twice.

- What?
- You already hired me, bruh.

Aah! Nothing's working!

Perhaps the problem
is my employees

don't see me as a boss,
so I gotta look the part.

You! Gimme your suit!

- Why?
- 'Cause I'm the boss!

Well, OK!

One plate of perfect crepes!

I'll be the judge of that!

Hmm... [loud munching]

- [whimpers]
- I'm so sorry for all

the bad things I've done,
and I promise never to--

Hmm... [gulps]

Nope. Still spongy.

[both]
What?!

Look!

Oh, no. It is spongy. [sobs]

It's spongy!

Welp, my investment
has crumbled.

- Time to skip town for a while.
- What the--?

This cafe deserves
a "D" for "Disaster"!

Time out! [blows whistle]

Look, I'm a coach.
To get the best out of people,

I gotta be honest. You're doin'
a lot of things right,

but there's always room
for improvement.

Take these ants.
Come on, team,

your line's
all over the place!

[fanfare]

See! Constructive criticism!
Your crepes'll get better.

You're probably just using
too much flour.

[whimpers] Really?

Sue, please wait here.

[grunts]

Careful...
a little less.. Mm!

Mm... Mmm...
Yeah!

OK, listen up, the reason
I have called this team meeting

is somehow I, the boss,
keep having to do

all the work around here!
Luckily, I've come up

with a system
that will solve everything!

Right now, all the problems
are funneling to me.

It don't work!
It's useless. It's chaos!

But now... it's perfect!

- It's a circle?
- [Cricket] Exactly!

You see, when one of you
has a problem,

you find where you are
in the circle,

follow the arrow,
and pass it along!

But won't it just
loop back to--?

The circle, Remy!

Trust! The! Circle!

And the circle will trust you.

Hello? Can I get a coffee now?

Hmm...

Hey, Gabwiella,
we need a coffee!

Sure thing, Benny.
Hey, Weezie, we need a coffee.

When it's a table, it turns!
We need a coffee.

Remy! Uh... need coffee,
or whatever.

- [overlapping chatter]
- Yes...

It's working beautifully.

Um... Ugh.

Here. I hope you like it.

[loud munching]

[whimpering]

Much better!
This deserves an update.

A...minus.

All that, and you won't part
with a lousy "plus"?

- What's it take?!
- It's OK.

There's always room
for improvement. Thanks, Sue.

[slurps] Ahh,
the taste of leadership.

Guess who's not afraid
of bad reviews anymooo--

What is going on?!

I still don't know
where to put these!

Won't somebody help
this poor child?!

Uh--?! Wha--?!

♪ Oh, steam ship, sea ship ♪

[sobbing] I don't understand!

[sighs] This can't
be good for--

- [phone beeping]
- My score!

Huh. Looks like I made
a mess of everything.

Sorry, Gloria. I had no idea
being a boss was so hard.

Well, now there's just a lot
of room for improvement.

[deep breath] All right!
If you were hired by a child,

you do not actually
work here! Please go home!

[all]
Huh?

Wow. What a mess.

Yup! And you're
gonna clean all of it.

Yeah, OK...boss.

Please... Please...

I just wanted a coffee...
