Plot
Molly introduces herself to the audience while sitting at a dinner table. She is about to say, "it's time for Bubble Guppies" but Gil comes over to keep asking her if she wants anything to eat or what she'd like. Molly keeps telling him no before the pans lid is lifted to reveal the little fish! They then say, "It's time for Bubble Guppies!"
The episode begins as Deema and Oona are on their way to school when they hear people nearby and see few pancakes being tossed into the air. They watch the crabs cook, examine, and serve the dish when a very cranky customer suddenly comes in. Deema remarks how unhappy he looks and the crabs explain that the unhappy, grumpy customer is Mr. Grumpfish. He's rude and never has liked anything they have served.
Oona and Deema continue on to school and then they arrive they begin to explain their visit to the restaurant when Deema decides she wants to open one too! And so, Mr. Grouper begins to describe the many types of foods you can find at restaurants, then Molly sings "Go Down to a Restaurant".
Deema runs a fast-fruit restaurant with Nonny when Molly comes in to ask for a Banana Dish. Goby wants a Strawberry one. Nonny then asks the viewers for help trying to figure out the right buttons to press to make sure the requested treats turn out right.
Molly is giggling about the joke when something suddenly runs on by! She sees Gil chasing the wild, loose fruit he is struggling to catch. Eventually, he tires out and comments, "Fast Food".
In class, Oona and Deema pretend to make a pizza using clay, while Mr. Grouper is their customer. The pizza resembles Bubble Puppy, inspiring them to make this their restaurant's special and talent. Mr. Grouper then begins to tell the guppies what else restaurants can/will do. And then Deema decides to sing.
The guppies go outside to play. Gil pretends to be Super Waiter! With his sidekick, Nonny as Bus-boy!
Once upon a time, Super Waiter (Gil) and his sidekick, Busboy (Nonny), were working in a very fancy restaurant. Deema ordered mixed vegetables, specifically peas, carrots, and corn. Gil insisted on venturing into the "Garden of Doom" to retrieve these ingredients. Nonny suggested they could find everything they needed in the kitchen and that Molly, the chef, could prepare the meal for them. However, Gil dismissed his suggestion and they flew off. Upon arrival, Gil and Nonny noticed a foul smell. It was Rotten Tomato, the guardian of the Garden of Doom! Utilizing his pickle powers, Rotten Tomato transformed Super Waiter into a pickle, who then worried that they might never get the order to their customer. But Nonny reassured him that he could handle it himself and quickly returned to Molly, hoping she could still prepare the meal.
Nonny then went to tell Deema that the order would be prepared soon. However, upon returning to the kitchen, he discovered that the chef had also been turned into a pickle! Rotten Tomato was there and he mixed up the ingredients, preventing them from finishing the dish. Molly managed to tell Nonny that carrots are orange, corn is yellow, and peas are green. Nonny found the accurate ingredients and prepared to deliver the meal to the customer, but Rotten Tomato attempted to turn him into a pickle. Nonny blocked the ray with a plate, and the ray bounced back, turning Molly back to normal. Rotten Tomato attacked, but Molly quickly tossed the ketchup bottle to Nonny, who used it to capture him. 'You got me. But I'll get you next time, Busboy!' Rotten Tomato shouted from inside the ketchup bottle. Nonny responded, 'If you can ketchup!' He delivered the meal to Deema, who complimented him as a Super Waiter, and everyone lived happily ever after.
Molly sees Gil dressed as a waiter and asks him why he's dressed like that. He sits there humming as she asks what he's doing, and Gil replies that he's a "Waiter," so he's "waiting."
The guppies opened a restaurant titled "Picture Pizza Parlor," where they made pizzas with pictures shaped from the ingredients. The crabs from earlier come by and ask for a boat pizza, which Deema makes and Mr. Grouper puts into the oven to cook. Then, Mr. Grumpfish shows up! Everyone begins to worry because he can't decide what to order. Gil suggests the special, and everyone heads back to the kitchen to try to figure out what to make for him. Deema suddenly gets an idea, and Molly brings out a pizza corresponding Mr. Grumpfish himself!
This makes him begin to smile and laugh and he's so happy, he even sings thanks to the pizza. He's not grumpy anymore! The guppies sing also as the episode comes to an end...
Molly sees Gil with a box he drops trying to grab a loose pickle. As he chases it however all of them escape and he's forced to chase after the food as Molly laughs.
