* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Mary the woman who [[spoiler: takes an allergic reaction to the food]] goes to the bathroom shortly before TheReveal.

And the sequence of Andrea going back inside to look for Mary's jacket likewise was to give the chance to have more make-up applied off camera.
* {{Tuckerization}}: The protagonist Andy Jones is named after a head chef friend of Philip Barantini.

* ProductionPosse: Philip Barantini and Stephen Graham had worked together on ''Series/BandOfBrothers''. Producer Bart Ruspoli had also starred in that.

to:

* ActorInspiredElement: Stephen Graham contributed several ideas for his character.
* HarpoDoesSomethingFunny: Due to the single take format, there was very little specific dialogue scripted. The screenplay just had bullet points of what needed to be said, and the dialogue was developed by the actors in rehearsals.
* IronyAsSheIsCast: Philip Barantini lampshaded the irony in the casting; the [[WaitingForABreak stereotype of most actors having worked in restaurants in the past]], and none of his cast ever had.
* TheOtherDarrin:
** Freeman had been played by Jonas Armstrong in the original short, and is played by Ray Panthaki here.
** Tahlula Krosschell played Andrea in the short, while she's replaced with Lauryn Ajufo.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: There were four planned filming days, filming two takes per day, hoping to have eight takes to work with. But filming was happening in March 2020, just as the COVID-19 pandemic happened. They had four takes at the time they decided it was too risky to have so many people filming together at once, and the third is the one that's used in the final film.
