Where is Bob Belcher on the Capitalist spectrum?

There is discourse surrounding Bob's Burgers and whether the protag can be labeled as Working Class or Petite Boujie. One side says that Bob is working class because he sells his labor through cooking and he doesn't own his means of production (he rents his shop and his equipment is loaned). The other side says he's Petite Boujie because even though he works, he also has employees through his family, and he still owns a business. How do we make the distinction between small business owners and workers, or is it even important as a distinction at all?
