NEW YORK - s4story -- A table can sit through a long wait without saying a word. The server still has to know when the wait has become a problem.

SERVICE, an original television pilot from screenwriter Eric Valdivieso, follows a debt-ridden former restaurant prodigy who takes a job in a dysfunctional dining room. He clashes with its old-school owner as he tries to restore order to the floor and rebuild his own life.

Valdivieso draws on 33 years in New York City hospitality to tell the story from the front of house. A server needs help and has no time to ask. A guest says everything is fine and leaves half the meal untouched. Reading those signals is part of the job. Acting on them before the room feels the strain is what makes someone good at it.

The pilot puts that talent to a personal test. Its protagonist knows how to steady a room full of strangers. His own life is harder to read.
