One of the things I love about the show is that nobody in it is actually profit-motivated. Everyone is motivated by belonging, status, excellence, meaning, the satisfaction of delivering transcendent experiences, etc. The viability of the restaurant as a commercial enterprise is merely instrumental.
Not only pro-capitalist -- it is unabashedly pro elite-dining, one of the most easily mockable aspects of our unequal economic system. And it makes the case for such dining being a profoundly decent and human endeavor!
