The Boss Is Coming to Dinner is an Australian television series created by Shine Australia for the Nine Network, based on a British original format.
This program showcases three job applicants who each host dinner events at their residences with the aim of impressing a prospective employer. After these gatherings, the candidates face a professional challenge, which leads the employer to reduce the contenders from three down to two. The final two then participate in a concluding dinner held at the employer's home for ultimate assessment.
Channel Nine discontinued the series on 1 October 2010 due to poor viewership, resulting in some episodes remaining unaired.
