Errr. the main subject, the uncle in stripes doesn't seem to be in hard work. A better choice of subject might be the cleaners cleaning the table.

2nd: This scene doesn't tell us it's beyond midnight.

Maybe if shoot from outside the coffeeshop, a worker working under dark environment (at night outside is dark right?) might illustrate your objective better.

Just some 2 cents opinion.

Seems abit too snapshot. Might need to go wider as its not that easy to establish that this is a food stall. Maybe can show the signboard of the stall, as even though the eggs are there we cant see what the man on the left is really doing (pouring the food?) Agree with gundam picture does not tell the title.
One possible alternative if you are trying to show hardworking cooks at night, is go pasar malam and find those ramly burger stall. Can blend in with the crowd and get closer to the food, although I've not tried this myself

No feeling, no story.

The subject needs to be more interesting, or engaging in some way. Reading the title I would expect some more 'action' in the shot. Also there's no hard in post-processing, what matters is the end result. In this case, the BW result seems rather flat out of the camera.
