In season two, the format changed. Three concept teams of hopeful restaurateurs prepare their signature dish for four potential investors. By majority vote, the investors select one team to open a two-day pop-up restaurant in Manchester, England. (Investors can drop out at any point). Once in Manchester, the concept team runs a soft-launch dinner service (where customers pay 50% of the normal price). The investors dine with each other during this service. On the morning of the second day, the concept team has one-hour business meetings with each investor. Afterwards, the team conducts a full-price lunch, where the remaining investors dine alone and also interview customers. Afterwards, the investors are given a deadline of 7pm to return to the restaurant to present an offer. If multiple investors make offers, the team picks the investor they want to work with.
