Bringing 100 Customers to an Empty Restaurant

Steven Schapiro visits small, struggling restaurants in Arizona like “Kiss Poos” and “MVP.” These restaurants have been empty since the pandemic and are barely surviving.

What He Does:

First, Steven eats at the restaurant to make sure the food is actually good. Then, he does something amazing – he brings dozens of people from social media and the streets to fill up all the empty tables. And here’s the best part: he pays for everyone’s meals himself!

Why You Should Watch This:

Touching Moments One owner named Christian had just prayed for customers because his restaurant was so empty that weekend. Minutes later, Steven showed up with a huge crowd of people. The owners get very emotional when they see their restaurants suddenly full.

Real Business Struggles The restaurant owners explain how hard it is to run a small business. They have to do everything – cook, clean dishes, handle money, pay taxes. It’s not easy at all.

Better Than Big Chains The video shows why small local restaurants often have better food than big restaurant chains like McDonald’s or Applebee’s. It encourages people to support small family-owned businesses in their own neighborhoods.

Crazy Generosity Steven doesn’t just bring customers – he also leaves huge tips! He gave $300 at one restaurant and $400 at another to help the owners keep their dreams alive and stay in business.


This is what true support looks like – not just words, but real action that makes a difference!

Watch the full video below to see the owners’ reactions and feel inspired.
