Can my employer sue me for lost revenue?

I work for a busy restaurant and a lot of our sales are through Uber eats. When employees are taking in orders, we have the option to pause any incoming orders or mark food items unavailable/available. Tonight, the boss screamed at us saying he’s losing thousands through Uber and if we mess up by marking items unavailable that we have/pause orders he would sue us and make our lives miserable. I’m sure it’s empty threats and he’s just an AH, but what are the odds of him successfully suing an employee for lost profits? (We all work for minimum wage so not likely the employees have many assets/money to fork over).
