* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Lisa had never paid attention to her staff's behavior until Gordon's intervention, assuming that by hiring the right people, everything would fall into place. When she actually steps into the kitchen and sees how the place is actually being run and the how the food is actually being cooked, she becomes disgusted. Realizing this was the result of her own neglect, she resolves to leading more actively and does a 180 in her priorities.

* PercussiveTherapy: Gordon notices that the 30-year-old Point-Of-Sale system is the biggest headache in the restaurant, with him humorously pointing out that NASA engineers press fewer buttons to launch astronauts into space. He proceeds to bring the computer out and hit it with a baseball bat a few times, and proceeds to hand the bat to the employees to help them get out their frustration with the machine before presenting them with a brand new modern system that works much more effectively.

* CharacterDevelopment: At the beginning Lisa was an immature owner who hid in the bathroom, was dating one of her employees and hated/ignored Gordon. When Gordon revisited her, she had made some big changes. She took his lessons to heart and really wanted to impress him by remembering what he taught her. She was a much more successful, assertive professional whose restaurant had improved profits by 20%, and she was even actually launching her own brand of wine.

* BrilliantButLazy: Lisa was a business graduate, yet [[TheCobblersChildrenHaveNoShoes couldn't manage a restaurant]] and was too busy trying to be friendly with everyone.
