Staged/10

No one would work that hard to flop a four when there's a six sitting at the same table.
>>
The pirate bar had to be the worst overall. Then, they went and turned it right back into a pirate bar, except with an even more retarded name after Taffer fixed it. Granted, he went out of his way to make his theme a giant fuck you to the owner, but still.

It makes me sad that people like that exist.

Honourable mention goes to the bar owned by the angry hippie lady.

Pirate one was flipped into a goldmine but the retarded owner changed it back cause muh pirates and doesnt like money

The one where the horse rolls in and shits on the floor and no one does anything about it. Even a child would know thats not right. Come to think of it, was probably staged
>>
The one where the bar doesn't have a fully liquor license, so they let people bring their own liquor in and drink it then wonder why they aren't making any money
>>
>>7716215

The pirate actually did very well after they changed it back. They took his business advice and got their fans back. He's never gone back because he's pissed that he was wrong.
>>
Watching the Pirate one now. Some nice tatas in this episode.
>>
>>7716215
>probably staged
This show gives me a staged vibe A LOT, but that was most likely fate. Animal rights groups would have had a shit fit if it came out that the producers willingly sent a horse into a building where it could so easily hurt itself. Even Taffer himself spat "WHAT IF THAT HORSE HAD BROKEN A LEG??!!!!!"

It's just too risky.

Wasn't that only because under their local law if they didn't have a liquor license they could allow smoking inside?

No it was because they were too fucking cheap, not realizing that the upfront cost would pay itself back in no time.

I hate the "back to the bar" episodes. Like, I'm cool with revisiting past bars, but he's gotta have a live audience that boos whoever he tells them to boo, and douches DJs (that fucking all-in guy), and all the other dumb shit.

Can't watch those episodes, they just make me cringe too hard.
>>
>>7716906

And he doesn't actually go back like Ramsey does. So it's all one-sided.
>>
>>7716908
That too. He sends one of his "experts" back, then just drags the owners out and let's the mob boo them for 8 minutes or so.
>>
I can't stand when the epilogue wants to seems positive but it'll be something like
>profits are now up 18 percent!
Haha, WHAT? Are you talking about the same bar where they haven't been able make payroll half the time for three months?

Remember this, folks, because it may be important one of this days: 18 percent up from "fuck all" is still pretty much "fuck all."
>>
>>7716954

Up 18% in a few months is a huge increase.
>>
>>7716957
It is when you're making a profit in the first place. When your business is doing diddly dick before, it's still impressive I guess, but it's still not enough. It's why a lot of these places end up closing, because they were about to close anyway and didn't stand a chance of catching up.

>is john taffer legit?

Yeah he actually does know what he is talking about. He really did pioneer "bar science" and consults with massive bar supply/management groups.

I think he is half-acting in the show most of the time, honestly. It must be immensely frustrating to have all that worked out and see retards with cockroaches in their liquor insisting they've done nothing wrong.
>>
>>7717656
What pisses me off are the people who clearly should have thrown in the towel long ago. He'll come to a bar where the owners are saying, "We're $100K in debt and if we don't do well this weekend, we won't make payroll." There is no fucking excuse to get to that point.
>>
>>7716276
Seriously, his dream of running a pirate themed bar was in the wrong location. He was surrounded by office parks, if he was in a resort town or some shit it could of worked, but not fucking there.

Corporate Bar was a far better fit for the location.

Over the top and very dramatic. The host is not relatable.
>>
>>7717681
I'm from MoCo, and you're right since that part of Silver Spring has been gentrified, but the location was also shit because it was off the main drag, but the corporate theme was a cash cow
>>
>>7717783
>Over the top and very dramatic.
American reality shows are like that. Even the US Kitchen Nightmares breaks out the violins and cymbal chimes for those "shit just got reality" moments.

>The host is not relatable
Sure he is. If you've ever owned a business you get where he's coming from most of the time.
>>
>>7717689
This. Everything on that show is so fucking scripted and fake holy shit.
>>
>>7717822

Not all of it. Going out of business certainly isn't in the script.
>>
>>7718046
Right. Basically the company tours different parts of the country allowing owners to audition for the show under the premise that it'll be good for business. It's not entirely scripted according to the below source, but it's close enough. The people are coached and things are made to happen the way the producers decide they should.

>>
>>7717822
I watched a few interviews with taffer and he said they don't create anything, they work with what they have. That being said, they spend a lot of effort during the screening process to make sure they have plenty to work with.
>>
>>7718046
>Going out of business certainly isn't in the script.

From whose perspective?
It's certainly not in the script for the bar owner.
On the other hand, it might very well be for the producer of the TV program--who, quite frankly, doesn't give a rat's ass if the bar succeeds or not.

They do that with cuts in the edit room and that shitty music/sound FXXX. They probably prime the people too, taking advantage of their personality and manipulating them unknowingly by setting them up in certain situations.

Can confirm. I live in Wisconsin and Packy's Pub employees have talked about some of the things they were asked to do on camera ( like drink in excess ) for the sake of the show/in order to get their rescue. Mind you, a lot of the things they do are real and a lot of the things the show says are valid but I'm under the impression that a lot of the rescues rescues are staged ( the bar is made to look dirty; employees are asked to act roles, etc. ) much like the matches in the WWE.
>>
>>7716076
Tafferty's wife is a solid 6.5, senpai.
>>
The one near my house was an out and out scam, the bar was NEVER struggling, biggest problem it had was the town board and getting cited for overcrowding, place was poppin and the staff were high as balls at all times. They completely staged the Bar Rescue thing, got a $100000 sound system and a makeover that didn't change much for than the name and put a three story big tiddy bitch on the outside.

they wited three months and changed the name back and took down all the retarded new decor so it's basically the exact same place with a world class sound system/karaoke stage.

Very proud of my cheap and surly hometown niggaz for that. and the pizza is GREAT when that one kid is working, hit or miss when the bitches are running the kitchen.

the other one they did in my town closed down afterward because the original owner sold it to incompetents, Bar rescue didn't do shit one way or the other
>>
>>7723415
>like drink in excess

That's setting yourself up for a lawsuit if something ever happens.
>>
>>7723470
Which makes it so hard to hear and believe. A few of my bartender friends ( that is very successful/that I trust ) went with her co-workers. When I spoke with her later she mentioned that the staff had told them ( and others who were asking questions at the recently-relaunched bar ) had been told Guppy ( the person the show pegged as a potentially suicidal alcoholic ) drank as much as he did because he was asked to by the producer. After seeing what >>7723435 said I'm even more inclined to believe it now.
>>
>>7723494
So fucking retarded.
>>
SO i definitely get how the show is staged

no way you worked at a bar for years and can't make a single drink happens every time

>she's been her from the start 5 years ago
>can't make a martini

but what about all the dirt? is there an elaborate way they fake how dirty the places are?
>>
>>7723514
They go in with buckets and spread it around.
The raccoon poop in that one episode was probably that fake shit you buy at the dollar store
>>
>>7723494
Yeah brah, they stage as much as any other American reality show. I've been turned on by /ck/ to the UK version of Kitchen Nightmares and can't believe the difference.
