It couldn't have been too much of a disturbance by the customers before being doused, the other employee in the kitchen doesn't seem to take notice that anything is going on.

Here’s a longer sequence of events video…
[youtu.be]
Clearly edited somewhat, as camera feeds being shown changes.
That makes it a bit clearer that they didn't get doused until they pushed their way behind counter.

…seems like a bad idea if one’s life is not in imminent danger or great bodily harm or death.

For discussion…
What if it’s imminent moderate “bodily harm”?; getting thrown to the floor, a broken nose, a napkin dispenser to the side of the head?
What if there’s a legitimately not-ignorable verbal threat of “great bodily harm”?
What if the aggressor’s size/strength exceeds the employees’ capabilities to intercede in a like manner?

All of this speculation is pointless without the audio.
There was a heated conversation. Sure, throwing the hot water was over the top. Unless... the woman crossing over into the employee area was saying something like, 'I'm going to grab that knife and put it through your eye', then the hot water doesn't seem so outrageous.
more info needed...

Just prior to the water throwing, both women had moved all the way past the counter and into the work area.

This is a civil suit now, the criminal case, if any, would seem already been adjudicated.
Verbal threats are most often considered no threat at all.
A customer crossing behind the counter is barely any crime, mainly simple trespass.
The criminal case would boil down to use of force, and was the water slinger justified.
In a civil case the standard of guilt is much lower, so a jury could easily find the water-slinger innocent or guilty.
Agreed, without audio it's difficult to know if the water-slinger can made a case for there being a credible threat to the staff, and if the hot shower was justified.
Without an actual physical assault, or significant threats of bodily harm from advancing couple, it doesn't seem likely that Taco Bell would prevail.
Casually dipping a pitcher into hot water while on the phone, strolling over to what appears to be unarmed trespassers, doesn't show any sense of urgency or danger, that I can see.

If someone yells "I'm going to kill you" and runs at you, do you have to wait for them to hit you for it to be self defense?
