I believe it’s a normally a combination of careless management/hiring and incompetent owners. My dedication to being a good employee is entirely dependent on the willingness of the company to facilitate that. Situations like 5:55 are overwhelmingly common in jobs i’ve worked at: Everyone who actually has to do the work knows the problems and makes it known constantly, but the higher ups are the only ones who can make the decision to fix it but refuse to because they’re so disconnected from the labor
Probably because they know they don't have to, and bad work ethic. Mostly I think its hard to care when you're establishments owner doesn't but also it gives you that safety net that either you'll never be fired if you fuck up, or be given a "second chance" On the other hand though with self accountability, some people have the ability to take a job seriously even if the owner or bosses don't, Ashley being a great example of that.
Don't wanna be a hipster-like, but I've been a fan of this show ever since it first aired all the way back on Spike. Surprised it's lasted this long tbh, but I can understand the appeal, as I am also a fan of Kitchen Nightmare and (less so) a fan of Restaurant: Impossible.
Cutting French fries into a container of water without rinsing the starch out of the fries will result in the water turning that color. While there is a lot of gross stuff on this show, those fries were probably fine.

I got to say thank you to you Jon and all the shelves and bartenders you bring into the show thank all of you for your hard work and dedication.
@@FryingTigerYup, I was going to say, it reminds me of certain troublemakers that would come in in pairs (man and woman) and order ONE sandwich, eat it down to a 1/8th inch, then b*tch how it was "bad." Going through that shite all the time, I'd just go, we'll, let's get the cops down here to discuss, because if it was bad, you wouldn't have EATEN it, ya cheap b*stard...and it WASN'T BAD.
Btw, you aren’t supposed to seat everyone at once like the “Confetti Party” scene. It helps to stagger seating so that bartenders and cooks don’t receive 20 orders at once. That’s why it helps to have hosts.
Yes but John wanted to see if the staff handle a busy bar just in case if they do get busy soon because if they handle a slow bar that has 5 or 6 but can they handle of 50 people?
As someone who’s worked in restaurants for decades, hosts aren’t the control center of the joint. They’ll triple seat ya just to get buggy customers outta their face. It’s the server’s responsibility to stagger tickets.
@@drlcubsfanNot true, used to work at a busy hot dog stand. The tour bus for Chicago would come in and order 60 hot dogs. Then, Cubs games. It was called Demon Dogs. But you're probably too young to know about it.

WE really need server cams. The amount of bullshit we deal with the general public is insane. Sexual harassment, being treated like slaves, expecting the server to only take care of you. Would make for a great show.
ohh my gosh the best statement “ i dont know anything about a kitchen”. Looks like she knows how to cook unless she eats out every day or does not have a kitchen at home
I know as a bartender with 10 years experience owners don't care ... and the best staff can't change the place . I love seeing him call them out so satisfying
Some inspectors get paid off, some don't give a shit, others are just overworked. I think in some other series of this type it was mentioned that some states have 3 or 4 health inspectors for the whole state and a few thousand establishments in their territory.
I can answer that from a very brief stint working in a hotel breakfast with hot food. The inspector schedules the inspection...Idk how it is in a dedicated restaurant but if bars are anything like hotels with free breakfast buffets they let you know well in advance so you can clean up your shit. Thats why I was even working at the place when I was a night auditor. The girl who was hired to do the breakfast wasnt up to date on her food safety and had open sores she wasnt instructed to cover (not sure if it was a hazard but it didnt look nice). So they pulled me who had a recent food safety cert (which is incredibly easy to get) and didnt have weeping sores..plus if something did go wrong I suspect they could claim I was just new to the position though I have no evidence that would help or that was the plan.
Having just watched this I do have to say the "kitchen" in that hotel chain was way way cleaner than any of these. It did have standards and was taken down and cleaned and sanitized daily.
Because there's a severe lack of health inspectors, and these places you refer to haven't been on the news, exposing the filth and unhygienic practices.
Happy holidays and happy new year to everyone and the people at Bar Rescue, especially Jon Taffer, his family and his staff. Don't drink and drive, be safe and have fun.
This is why I don't want to be in the restaurant business. Don't get me wrong, I know how to cook, and I know how to clean a kitchen, along with changing the oil every now and then. But I'm too afraid to meet someone like Jon Taffer. And If I do something completely wrong. I'm going to be the one paying for it, cause I know better.
I know. I suffer from depression, but I always put on a happy face in front of customers. If a customer sees the workers are happy then they're going to feel happy.
I remember an episode where he took a white towel to the drink fountains🤢🤢🤢after seeing this show I poke my head from time to time under an ice machine or fountain spout to check for grime! Lmaooooo thanks Jon😂😂😂
I wanna know what those fries were sitting in. That water substance is taking away the opportunity to put out good food. Water makes them soggy, and when it's soggy, just takes them longer to put crispiness on them and cook.
1:45 how tf do you eat an entire burger before noticing it's raw???? like obviously it's the cook's fault but I can't help but question that customer's intelligence 😭
I have not and never will work in the food or drink industry but is it normal for bartenders and other employees to drink while they are working? That just seems absolutely absurd to me 😮
No, it’s not normal for bartenders to drink while working. And if I remember, it’s illegal to do so. They are allowed to drink non alcoholic beverages while on duty.
I’ve been a bartender on and off for the last decade whenever I want to make extra money. The main one I work at is kind of a hole in the wall and the the owners don’t care as long as they made money. Personally, I wouldn’t drink on the job, but I also wouldn’t turn down drinks and shots that were bought for me. I’d make apple juice shots for myself and virgin “drinks” when that happens though. That way, nobody is losing money whatsoever and I’m not drunk as shit behind my bar.
Depends on the bar. The nice establishments you usually don’t see it. But I’ve always enjoyed “dive bars” and it’s pretty common in those places. But not to the extent of a lot of the people on this show. In other words maybe they have a shot here or there but not drinking the entire time and getting tanked
4:36 I love that he kicked the bucket of fries (or whatever the hell that was) at her. She doesn’t know shit, but got the nerve to be running a bar. Hell, what DO you know? 🙄
Uh no it's not. Every bar serves vodka, gin and whisky. The only times bitters are used that I'm aware of are in lemon lime and bitters which not all bars do.
It never ceases to amaze me owners who know zero about running a bar. I sure wouldn't try as I don't even drink alcohol so I'm aware I have almost no clue how it would work but these folks dive right into it and go "learn as we go."
They should make a video game out of this, and use REAL unskippable clips from the show all throughout the video game. I would pay a premium for that. Would you?
If you were the legal owner of a public business, what would you want to do? Because whatever you can think of is apparently not at all what these people are doing.
My wife works at a bar/restaurant that should be on this show. She makes good tips. They fail health inspections. The owners are in real estate so they know nothing on how to properly run it. Their new rules they roll out to save money are ridiculous. It's sad, but she is working there until she finishes school.
I always find it fascinating that people ask the dude to help them and then push back at it. If you don’t wanna change shit seems pointless to ask him for help
I don’t drink very often but this show remind me of how not stupid I am and how bars have made me feel. For instance if I do decide to not get a beer and get a cocktail I get a vodka gimlet. There have been more cases than not where the bartender has no clue what that is and makes me feel dumb for ordering it. This show proves that it’s one of the most common drinks that a professional bartender should know how to make. It pisses me off when I order it and the bartender asks another what it is n they laugh cuz either one knows. As if I’m the stupid one or somehow inconvenienced them by ordering one of the most common drinks in America. For a moment I sometimes think “is it that rare of a drink that I like?” And second guessing myself. But nope. This show shows that a lot of bartenders are just dumb and should know.
It really blows my mind how many people I’ve seen on this show that don’t know what or how to make a Gimlet, especially with how simple and old the damn drink is. I’d understand newer and inexperienced bartenders, but it happens to always be the 10+ year veterans saying that ignorance.
According to Jon Taffer, the pulled pork marked 10/8 was “almost 5 weeks old”, immediately after Jon claimed the portion of food marked 10/27 was 6 weeks old?!? You might call Jon Taffer to save your bar, but it would be a wise decision to keep him away from your taxes/finances

I once saw someone at a fancy restaurant put her own hair into the last piece of food on her plate, call over the waitress and complain - the waitress saw her do what she did, but with no proof she had to give the lady a brand new burger. This lady tried to do it a second time, but the chef looked at her when she plucked the hair from her head (it was a long red one, and the cooks all had hair nets on and were all short black haired)
I love how Jon walks in and the owner is immediately like "oh sh-t"
She was scared to be Taffer'd. After Taffer knock down the fried with oil, the female owner will clean it up. Taffer is a savage and we viewers find this funny.

I wanna know what those fries were sitting in. That water substance is taking away the opportunity to put out good food. Water makes them soggy, and when it's soggy, just takes them longer to put crispiness on them and cook.
Yup, we used to hand cut fries. They were in wire baskets in the fridge. NO water.
I feel soo bad for the vlack chef. You know he's been trying to tell the owner to repair it forever
Poor guy had very little to work with.
1:45 how tf do you eat an entire burger before noticing it's raw???? like obviously it's the cook's fault but I can't help but question that customer's intelligence 😭
I have not and never will work in the food or drink industry but is it normal for bartenders and other employees to drink while they are working? That just seems absolutely absurd to me 😮
No, it’s not normal for bartenders to drink while working. And if I remember, it’s illegal to do so. They are allowed to drink non alcoholic beverages while on duty.
I’ve been a bartender on and off for the last decade whenever I want to make extra money.
The main one I work at is kind of a hole in the wall and the the owners don’t care as long as they made money. Personally, I wouldn’t drink on the job, but I also wouldn’t turn down drinks and shots that were bought for me. I’d make apple juice shots for myself and virgin “drinks” when that happens though.
That way, nobody is losing money whatsoever and I’m not drunk as shit behind my bar.
@@Jarlaxle_BaenreTry union bar. They make 60k+ a year.
Depends on the bar. The nice establishments you usually don’t see it. But I’ve always enjoyed “dive bars” and it’s pretty common in those places. But not to the extent of a lot of the people on this show. In other words maybe they have a shot here or there but not drinking the entire time and getting tanked
Why he kick the fries over like that? 😂😂😂
Cuz people were gonna pay there hard earned money to get sick dumb ass
@@Siptoseina obviously lol. It’s just funny because he’s always throwing shit
4:36 I love that he kicked the bucket of fries (or whatever the hell that was) at her. She doesn’t know shit, but got the nerve to be running a bar. Hell, what DO you know? 🙄
That bitch got told 😂
When John gets to pointing and yelling mannn I lose it! 😂😂😂😂
“Oh, he’s getting pissed” is the biggest understatement of all time
I didn't notice him or the camera crew or the waivers we all signed to be on the show we don't notice we're on.
when john walks into your restaurant he owns it until you can prove to him you will be successful lmao
"We don't have bitters."
That's like not having vodka, gin, or whiskey.
No it's not... 😂😂😂 what kind of comparison is that
Uh no it's not. Every bar serves vodka, gin and whisky. The only times bitters are used that I'm aware of are in lemon lime and bitters which not all bars do.
2:47 I love when people get offended when John yells at them
His face on this thumbnail 😂😂😂
4:37 4:38 when he said "Figure out what it is!" I fully expected her to taste the liquid
John is like Darth Vader when he walks into the bar.
The perfect music for him to enter the bar to .
3:55 even me, just after seeing one show I know that a "Godfather" drink is scotch with a touch of Amaretto! 😂
It never ceases to amaze me owners who know zero about running a bar. I sure wouldn't try as I don't even drink alcohol so I'm aware I have almost no clue how it would work but these folks dive right into it and go "learn as we go."
They never TASTE their own food!
Absolutely love this show, I hope it never ends
Me personally, I would cook my own food, instead of going to a bar that doesn’t know how to take freaking orders.
I love how John just randomly says some angry shit like he’s king of the world
Tell me why I can't watch a single full episode on RUclips but I can watch the entire kitchen nightmares series on youtube
Hulu and Peacock also has KN. On Hulu it's censored but Peacock has it uncensored!
3:40 ahhh i love johns calendar logic.
10/8 is 5 week ago
but, 10/27 is 6 weeks ago?
That's what I was wondering too. Maybe he meant 9/27
10:36 John’s boss music starts playing
😂
@3:01 the man thinks he’s the avengers 😂
Dude just goes in these places and says fix yo shit 😂😂
Man the last one was a train wreck i mean that actively avoided Jon and how gross the kitchen was it’s amazing how it’s still running
50 people come in at once and expect them all to be served in 15 minutes??
A well managed restaurant/bar can easily get at least drinks out to 50 people in 15 minutes.
Done it. Yup. Worked post Cubs games and tour busses.
They should make a video game out of this, and use REAL unskippable clips from the show all throughout the video game. I would pay a premium for that. Would you?
If you were the legal owner of a public business, what would you want to do? Because whatever you can think of is apparently not at all what these people are doing.
Bro how you eat a whole burger and at last smallest bite you realize it wasn’t cooked all the way 😂😂Fooh 😂😂
My wife works at a bar/restaurant that should be on this show. She makes good tips. They fail health inspections. The owners are in real estate so they know nothing on how to properly run it. Their new rules they roll out to save money are ridiculous. It's sad, but she is working there until she finishes school.
I relate, I worked at a restaurant that 100% could've been on kitchen nightmares
I always find it fascinating that people ask the dude to help them and then push back at it. If you don’t wanna change shit seems pointless to ask him for help
Message to Jon Taffer and his crew. Come to Abilene, Texas to rescue these two bars: The Ugly Lime, Guitars and Cadillacs.
that hamburger on the grill that squished like a donut almost made me throw up
Taffer be like I can’t let them drink that and waddles his way over in no rush at all
@9:09. Please tell me who puts their hand on the right side of their head to yell to a crowd of people? Wtf is that? Lol
The second I see either him or Gordon Ramsay walk in with a film crew following them, I am out the door.
At the job I'm at just now which overall is very good, I was the first person to clean out the ice machine.. Now I clean it out about twice a month.
He is AWESOME!!!
What a leader.. woo whoo!!
If I had a job at a bar or restaurant, I'd take my job seriously. These jokers don't know customer service if you'd pay them $50.
I don’t drink very often but this show remind me of how not stupid I am and how bars have made me feel. For instance if I do decide to not get a beer and get a cocktail I get a vodka gimlet. There have been more cases than not where the bartender has no clue what that is and makes me feel dumb for ordering it. This show proves that it’s one of the most common drinks that a professional bartender should know how to make. It pisses me off when I order it and the bartender asks another what it is n they laugh cuz either one knows. As if I’m the stupid one or somehow inconvenienced them by ordering one of the most common drinks in America. For a moment I sometimes think “is it that rare of a drink that I like?” And second guessing myself. But nope. This show shows that a lot of bartenders are just dumb and should know.
It really blows my mind how many people I’ve seen on this show that don’t know what or how to make a Gimlet, especially with how simple and old the damn drink is.
I’d understand newer and inexperienced bartenders, but it happens to always be the 10+ year veterans saying that ignorance.
Real Boss, Need a boss like this
For me the moment when Taffer strolls in like Hitchcock, hands clasped together on belly, somebody is about to get schooled
According to Jon Taffer, the pulled pork marked 10/8 was “almost 5 weeks old”, immediately after Jon claimed the portion of food marked 10/27 was 6 weeks old?!?
You might call Jon Taffer to save your bar, but it would be a wise decision to keep him away from your taxes/finances
I love when jon just sit down and no one notice him.i want to know what he might be thinking about
baked brisket? they already messed up just on that alone
Smackies Jon's hands🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂!!! Can't wait to see what 2023 holds in store!!! #Happy2023🍾🥳🌟🍺🎆🎊🥂🎉 Jon, his wife, staff, crew, production team and everyone out there!!! Have fun on Saturday!!! Be safe and don't drink and drive!!!
Taffer is like a Dr Phil. It just looks good for the camera.
staff and customers : "y do i hear boss music?"
Ew, dude. I've been to Throwbacks in Sanford, FL! I set the high score on Asteroids in there and watched some guy try desperately to beat it lol
I would love to see John Taffer host a new game show called bar rescue trivia
1:25 “instant headache” 🙄 talk about dramatic.
How can you basically eat an entire burger just to now realize it's raw and expect a refund or make a new one 🤔?
Scam for cheap people. I wouldn't give them a refund if they ATE IT ALL.
I once saw someone at a fancy restaurant put her own hair into the last piece of food on her plate, call over the waitress and complain - the waitress saw her do what she did, but with no proof she had to give the lady a brand new burger.
This lady tried to do it a second time, but the chef looked at her when she plucked the hair from her head (it was a long red one, and the cooks all had hair nets on and were all short black haired)
Long story short the lady got kicked out and we all got a free desert
lol taffer and gordon ramsay would probably break the internet if they teamed up
