Retired pancake restaurant manager (never managed a Dennys) here. We are constantly drilled about immediately removing filming press. It's in every managing training that filming on premises is an immediate refusal of service, verbal request to leave with press liaison phone number and trespassing charges if they push in through you.

Earning a red tag usually means closure. Quarterly reports in the restaurant industry are run through cost analysis. If any quarterly report shows that permanent closure is less expensive than operations closes your doors for good. Red tags mean district managers now live in your store. A VP shows up and runs books. Other GMs call you and give you shit. It's unbearably stressful. Of course, it's why you run a clean shop.

Dennys run clean. I cooked at one for a few months. Lots of in store prep, good knife skills. As a restaurant manager of a lot of different restaurant levels, their cooks are immediate hires. Without good management, prep goes bad. Day dates have to be checked every shift.
