I wonder what Taffers success rate is for non Bar Rescue show bars where he cant just namedrop some company and dump 20k+ worth of free equipment/renovations into a place.

He probably just charges the owners for whatever renos he does; isn't that pretty much the restaurant consultant business model anyway? Here's a thing Taffer wrote about consulting fees - http://m.nightclub.com/q-what-average-management-fee-a-barrestaurant-consultant So just to get him to look at your poo poo, you're looking at five figures. He's probably not rescuing the kind of indebted shitholes we see on the show. FrozenVent fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Aug 4, 2014 |

For that much money there has to be some kind of guarantee that the business will be a success at some point or he only gets a smaller percentage of his fee. Maybe not but I would think that how it works.

There's percentage based fees afterwards, but just the first look and set up is 10-50k. I'm fairly sure that comes without any guarantees, but obviously his customers aren't the shirts how's we've seen on the show, there's no way Piratez could have shelled out 10k... And if they had they might have given it a fair try. It's similar to how consulting works in other industries as well, except most of them bill hourly. Generally if you can afford to hire a consulting firm to pull you out of trouble, you ain't in that much trouble yet.

Good businesses that want to grow seem more likely as customers than businesses that are failing. Or people just getting into it and want to do things right.

I was bored so I made a GIF of Taffer expressing a rare emotion: approval. (no caption version) (From the Sand Dollar episode, wherein this is Taffer's reaction when Dr. Wilkes manages to walk up to a group of women and not start sexually harassing them.)

In one of the episodes this season, Taffer resqued a bar where the owner was a sexual predator who tried to sexually assault Taffers recon girls, and Taffer also fired the owners little fucktoy girl so that he could rekindle his relationship with his wife. Can someone tell me why the show was even willing to come within 100 miles of the rape den bar? Why didn't the girl go and get every lawyer in the world and sued everyone involved for hostile work environment, sexual extortion and so on? Lawyers should be queuing up outside her door to represent her after seeing the episode.

Half the bars on the show have creepy sexual predator type employees/owners. Arm vagina guy, green mohawk guy, the old fat guy from the olive pit, ect

These places aren't attracting top notch employees to begin with. The odds of one or more waitresses sleeping with the owner are pretty certain.

This may shock you, but there are a whole lot of shithole bars run by drunken lechers and patronized by a wide spectrum of creeps. Some of them are in parts of the country where judges and juries would accept "she's a bartender with boobs, what did she think would happen when she took this tips-only job?" as a legal argument.

There's a dive bar in my area that "pays" employees that way. My wife picks up shifts bartending there from time to time when they need extra help just for the quick cash, though I'm sure she's gotten bigger tips there than anyone at Headhunters ever did, and believe it or not, the owner doesn't seem to be a complete rear end in a top hat (though he really should be paying something). E: My wife is a sous chef at a local country club, and literally just does the bartending thing for fun and extra money once or twice a month. empty baggie fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Sep 3, 2014 |

According to a commercial that aired during Hell's Kitchen (synergy?) the new season starts this Sunday, thought it might be available now in their IPad app.

Spike is showing Sunday's episode as Season 4, but with production number 340, so who even knows what seasons are anymore.

Will this be the season Taffer has a stroke? Tune in and find out. I don't think we have the business rescue catch-all thread anymore (?), but I know there's some overlap viewers here. Hotel Impossible's next season starts next Tuesday. It apparently involves NASCAR, the state of Florida, and ZERO TOLERANCE.

The catch all thread was basically hotel rescue shows, might as well make a new thread for them. I don't watch them and would rather not have them combined with bar rescue, that's just me though.

Yep, it appears to have fallen into oblivion. The Profit is coming back in a couple weeks, so your Lemonas desires will be fulfilled. And there's a show on Travel Channel called Resort Rescue that my wife saw a commercial for. The first episode aired already, but I'm picking up the re-run on Tuesday according to my DVR. It starts with hidden cameras and goes from there, so I'm not super confident it'll be any good, but I'm going to give it a shot.

Yeah, the rescue show megathread fell into the archives after everything went on break for a while. Also dammit Hotel Impossible, I have work that night and Scripps/Travel Channel are still butts about putting their shows on non-paywalled sites!

I like Hotel Impossible because it doesn't have a lot of fake drama and they focus on actually trying to fix the business as a whole instead of just focusing on interior decorating makeovers.

Pretty cool concept with the speakeasy and all. Although isn't the fact that it looks like an autobody shop a negative? I get that it ties into the theme and all, but there's nothing to suggest it's a bar, which has always been considered a negative (think Angry Ham's Garage.)

Only one other post for the new episode? I think their redesign is easily the worst one of the series. Did they not consider that since it's no longer the prohibition era, that a place that is named like an auto garage and looks like an auto garage might be passed up because people think it's an auto garage? This right after a rerun of the hookah place where Taffer was going on and on about how the outside is so important.

I guess if Huntington's bar scene is really as hot as they claimed, they would rely on word of mouth and promotion thanks to the one partner. And I agree, 18+ nights probably work better for dance clubs than bars with dance floors. raditts posted:I had to rewind that to figure out what the gently caress was going on. Was she just chasing the cameraman because she expected him to call her a cab for some reason...? I think it was the rare time where they aired footage of people reacting to the discovery they were being filmed. I've always wondered about that, like the people getting busted on COPS (I mean, it's not like the cameras aren't obvious.)

Id be surprised if that place turns into anything but the cities hipster hangout. Its up there with the steampunk bar in terms of odd makeovers. Why would he think an area with a bunch of early 20s type people care at all about a speakeasy?

I thought the makeover was cool, but it's a question of how practical it is. Theme bars only seem to work really well in really populated areas, and the biggest snag remains the fact that the exterior is hidden as part of the theme. Those TVs that turned back into bar mirrors were neat though, never seen that before.

Good to see the owner was rescued, he was a hopeless wreck at the beginning of the show. My favourite line was Taffer saying, "You know, I always wanted to do a genuine speakeasy concept" He's already worked with over 100 bars and not used that idea before - probably for good reasons!

He already did a "prohibition-themed" makeover with Moonrunners. I guess that wasn't going far enough because it didn't have a rotating mystery door?

I like the inside. But the outside I can't help but think will turn people away. They will just think it's an atuobody shop unless they already know what it is. I want to say this is one of the few episodes where the employees and the owner and promoter actually all got along and wanted to succeed. I don't think it happens that often all across the board.
