“An entitled man-child has one night to pay back a criminal debt, so he robs his own family’s restaurant.”

Agreed with the above, also why now? What made him need to pay back his debt at this point in time?

This feeds into previous comments, what is the inciting incident? You could use the inciting incident to create a ticking time bomb for the MC and add a sense of urgency.

Additionally as previously mentioned the MC needs a better character description and a good flaw to over come seeing as he is mostly un likeable to start off with. As DPG said he does't have to be likeable so in the case of this story the inner journey is vital for audience empathy. But best to give him an inner goal that overcoming will be an obstacle to achieving the outer goal.

Hope this helps.

As Richiev and Tony Edward said.

Except, it isn't always necessary to like the main character or sympathize with him. What is necessary is for the character to be compelling and interesting, his predicament urgent enough to keep us engaged even when we don't like him.

I personally find nothing in the character, or his predicament, or his choice to engage my interest. Certainly not my sympathy. He comes across as an immature weak character, lacking in scruples as well as cajones. Given the mistake he's made, gotten in the hock to a loan shark, this is his strongest choice?
