She was right though "we didn't fail, you did." As an OWNER it is YOUR responsibility to make sure YOUR employees are properly trained and keep safety in mind.
@@TheAnimeAtheist I get your point but honestly, if the owner doesn't know what to do, neither will the staff. Worked for a guy that never worked in the industry before, never in food or sales but opened up a bar. It's doing well because we are in a college town and campus is a few blocks away but honestly, the staff is just a revolving door. It got to the point one time where I didn't even bother learning anyone's names because of how often they just stopped showing up or we got a new hire.

@@HarrisonBowman the reality tv show was invented to bypass the need for writers. they're exaggerated but they don't write much into the show, these incompetent freaks do enough to bring drama.
Bar owner Ed was a patron in his own bar. Never open a bar if you're an alcoholic. I've seen many alcoholics, and that's one of em, a barely functioning one at that.
Right? Like I have absolutely zero experience with managing let alone owning an entire bar or restaurant but this and Kitchen Nightmares make me feel like I could be at least decently successful
O’Face might be the worst bar in Bar Rescue history but Ed is easily the worst owner in Bar Rescue history. This guy lacks common sense, blames everything on everyone else except himself, got Jon Taffer to give up on him, he was lazy, treated his failing business as a joke, and worse of all he was a drunk.
Jon didn't give up on anyone who really want his help. That owner showed clearly that he only used the team to upgrade his bar for free, so Jon had to do it cuz of the contract but there's no reason to actually help him knowing that he's not gonna appreciate your help at all.
I would say Steve from Headhunters in Austin, Texas was the worst bar owner. Completely dismissive of the health hazards his bar had, deflected any and all criticism, and ripped off his employees. Steve should be in jail especially since he STILL hasn't paid them their dues.
@@mila6589 It sure does. And any adult who still doesn't realize that is either delusional or hasn't yet grown up mentally and psychologically. He/She doesn't like you in that way. Suck it up, deal with it, and move on with your life, FFS!
At 4:00 I do kind of understand her anger with the sharing tips. If she's a hard worker providing great service and her coworker doesn't, sharing tips wouldn't be fair.
Sometimes it takes a lot of people supporting in silence so 1 can shine, cuz no way anyone can operate a business by himself/herself. I understand that sometimes there's people who do nothing but still get tip, that's surely not fair, but management have to fix that. It's also not fair when the others who also put bricks on layers so a few can have all the glory but they have no tips for what they contributed. Without the bricks there's no way you can build a extravaganza villa.
I work in a casino and we share tips. It helps cover the poor guy dealing to a table of fleas, or in high limit with no players, or a dumb carnie that rips its players off. The difference is that a bartender can overpour in order to induce a higher tip. Now that bartender is profiting while shafting the owner. Then the other bartenders have to do the same to compete. It's a downward spiral that, with the wrong people, will get out of control in a real hurry.
The moment that owner said "you know what's funny is that Jessica never even liked you" I knew Brandon was making the right choice. People in the comments calling him a simp or saying he's stuck in the friendzone aren't understanding it seems Brandon left because he felt like the owners were throwing him under the bus too. He thought the situation with Jessica was handled poorly and already stated he had worked on and off at this place for four years so it wouldn't be the first time he's left. He felt like he was also being called a liar and a thief by them and didn't want to stand for it. Seeing the way those owners ran the bar, I say he made the smart move.
No your just easily impressed. Judging by his body language and behavior he was being a follower and I question his motives. I don't think she was lying or hating on Jessica.
That was unbelievably sad to watch. That guy is completely broken inside, something or a series of things really shitty has happened to that man. i felt bad all around, for the bar tenders but also for him. Hes just Miserable with a capital M.
13:31 "I've never stolen a dollar in my life" You don't need to physically take a dollar out of the drawer, and put it in your pocket, for it to be stealing. Not ringing up a sale for lost product is unaccounted money, which is stealing. Giving away free shots or drinks or free anything, is stealing.
I had the best GM at my old job. She would always be there working her ass off, helping everyone she could, and take on any role. When I see owners and employees who don’t give a shit I just think, “Amanda would never let this happen, she’d be kicking someone’s ass”
I don't respect him cause if you watched that entire episode Lee was a shitty ass bar owner his friend was fucking around behind the bar counter and when he was asked to leave he started a fight with the bouncer... Lee FIRED the bouncer for the fight and then during the pressure test he was not doing his job properly as an owner and blamed his employees for his failures... I can clearly see why Nikita (the girl who was shouting at him) had acted the way that she did because I would've cussed his ass out too because how can you expect your employees to respect you when all you do in your restaurant is come in every day, drink alcohol, play pool, and let your "best friend" goof off behind the bar 🙄🙄🙄
I ain't sharing tips. My money is MY money that the customer gave to ME! So the slacker on the 'team' makes as much tips as I do because that's 'fair'? Bull. Shit. A real man accepts personal responsibility and doesn't blame everything on his employees that he never bothered to empower OR train. Now you're gonna take my hard work and give an even split to all the employees? Hell no lol
I didn't feel like they were portrayed as thieves and liars. I felt like they were portrayed as people who didn't realize or accept that giving away drinks is considering stealing money from the owner's perspective. It may not have been malicious in nature, but the end result is the same, the bar losing money. And if they don't understand that, then yes, they are a threat to the business.
True. But a conversation about it to give them a chance to modify their behavior could have been more helpful. Then they wouldn't have to be shocked that the last employee they had didn't want to do the job by himself lol
@@sitcomchristian6886 Well like the owner said she's asked multiple times why something isn't rung up should make you remember "Hey I need to ring this up". Things were glossed over because people are "like family".
Yeah I think a lot of people who do this sort of work only look at stealing as in cash. They don't look at other ways a business can lose money. It's the owners fault, they should have trained their staff better in the first place.
Taffer: "I've never worked with an owner like Ed. If he doesn't step up and embrace his future, he's not gonna have one." I'm afraid you're already too much, too little, too late for that, Jon. His pathetic excuse of a bar was shuttered by the city's Health Department for repeated violations of COVID-19 laws. Ed didn't get a grand opening. Now Ed has no bar no more. EVER. Then again, I might be wrong on that last part.
Jon and the girls did the right thing. Just to walk away from someone who was not willing to change or listen to Jon's advice. It's too bad that one of the girls was not picked as the new owner of the bar, then they would be making money, and not have to worry about a big dumb ass who was not happy with the chance and all of his employees leaveing him high and dry.
If Yvette saying that Jessica never liked Brandon is true, then Brandon was a simp. There is no way I would quit a job just because a woman was fired, especially if she was stealing from the company. Also, I really felt for the bartenders of Dugout. You can hear the pain and frustration in Emily's voice. If Dalila, the bartender who was the closest to the owner, was fed up with him, then you know that Ed was an awful owner.
Given the attitude of the owners, I'm more inclined to believe Jessica's take on things. Those two owners circlejerking themselves into oblivion after losing their entire staff made them look clinically delusional, and the woman trying to manipulate Brandon into staying by smearing Jessica's character only made the owner look sleazier and borderline sociopathic
@ 18:00 always cracks me up to see random cameos, Delilah from the old show “bad girls club” (and damn her very short appearance on BGC was ROUGH, that’s the only reason I remember her!!)
We've seen the worst of the worst on this show, but Ed is probably the biggest let down ever. I mean, he literally showed up drunk to the grand opening, embarrassing himself and the girls working for him. He deserves his failure. Its harsh, yes, but he never even made an effort to correct himself.
"I can tell he's drunk by the way he's acting." Aside from the fake show in front of the customers outside, he seemed to be acting the same. I guess he's always drunk.
The blonde owner firing Jessica even when she didn’t have to was so stupid. It looked to me like she just wanted to prove to Jon that she could fire people so she fired the wrong person and then when they guy quit she instantly started saying “she never even liked you” like girl please you’re just mad that your plan backfired and it’s your fault.
That server stood there like a Deer in headlights, with both hands filled with food, looking TOTALLY lost. If anything, she wasn't the best of employees either.
15:02 What the heck are they laughing for if Jon said they fired 2 employees and Brandon quits, it's not a joke this is serious, Jon has no one to train with. How is he going to rescue a bar Jon asked?
Sometimes people will laugh, but it's not a haha one. But a oh shit this went up a chit creek with out a paddle. It's just everyone handles stress differently.
The last guy. If he should loose his business I just hope he doesn't take any one down with him. I glad his staff left. Other business owner would be glad to hire employees so caring.
That last one was so sad, clearly an alcoholic who hasn't excepted responsibility for himself. It's everyone else's fault smh. I am in my 2nd year of culinary arts, and am thinking about going into mixology as well. On my profession, I promise to keep things sanitized, and safe.
Respect has to be earned and it's going to take more than a few days to earn your staff's respect when, just a few days ago, you had your staff leaping over the bar to get away from a brawl, that happened because you didn't have the spine to ask your friend to stop being a dick and leave. It's baffling for someone to do that and then turn around and blame the staff for his failier. It's no wonder they had no faith in him. It's obvious he let them down time and time again.
@@MsAli0 That doesn't mean her statement is a lie. His demeanor and body language told me he more focused on the relationship with the girl. She got caught stealing and giving away free drinks. The owner ain't have to put up with that. That detrimental to her business. I felt she was telling the truth about the girl not liking him.
6:11 Holy hell, I'm not normally one for women with lots of tats but Ashley is looking FINE in that outfit. She's a great addition to the show with her skill, look, and attitude. She's a natural.
my question is how they expect them to be pros w one day in training then fill the place up with a bunch of people out of nowhere and expect them to not get flustered make it make sense ☠️😭
unfortunately the rough start for a lot of businesses dealing with customer interactions has these teething issues. You gotta be mean and get right into it if you have a fresh staff, and those who make it based on their ability to adapt and their training will have some good solid skills for their future employments in the industry. Those who don't typically are not really good for a chaotic industry hub rush. While I admit, they like to force a really heavy situation in on the owners, managers, and new employees, it often helps show WHERE the problems are and who the problems are. It's sometimes just one or two major issues that cause the entire system to come to a crash.
That’s not what he does. It’s a stress test, meaning he’s checking how they work in a stressful environment. If you want to work a bar you can’t get jittery or cowardly, you gotta be good under pressure. He does the training after.
During the part with cassy and Amanda they tried to blame almost everything on everyone else despite the fact that everyone else was doing their job while sat around or did the exact opposite what they were supposed to do. Althea nerve of some people.
He ask, "who's ordering food?" Literally 3 hands go up. He walks into the kitchen, 15 hands went up. No wonder he's got a pa ked bar. He's seeing 4 times the amount of of people a sober person would see 😂😂😂
That bar where everyone quit or was fired. As a manager what I would have done is shut down the business for a couple days. Put up an advertisement on indeed, do something to pull in new hires. Train them right away ON THE TASK THEY NEED TO DO. What I saw with that bar was that they had one person doing three jobs. I worked in fast food for over 4 years and that's not what you do. One person needs to have their own task and if they need to do another test, make them do it for 5-10 minutes and then go back to their original task. That's how the service industry needs to be structured by a manager, in order for everything to run smooth and everything to be set up for success. Don't make a cashier go in the back and cook, don't make a bartender also have to be a server.
Update to this Bar Rescue compilation- Lee from the Fogline is now in prison on drug and drug smuggling charges from the US Dept. Of Justice- he is serving 10 years. Ed Cressy from the Press Box/Dugout was in the news for having his bar operate beyond established closing times near Wrigleyville in Chicago during the COVID pandemic. The authorities were investigating fining his business taking legal action against him and others who were operating the bar at the time. On a personal note- I know what it is like to heavily clean a business off the clock and to get nothing to show for it. Especially when it is not your fault and you didn't start it in the first place. In the episode "How To Train Your Goldfish"- Brandon quit because of the fact of what happened with his co-workers but the key element that stuck out for me- was when he mentioned that he spent all night cleaning off the clock for the owners when their responsible for the mess they have made. I know what that is like- because I have done it at my former work without so much as a thank you or any recognition when I was off the clock doing it for my former employer. So did the owners take a step forward- in some sense for the other two employees being fired- Yes. But for putting Brandon in this position for what he went though- NO. They took a step backward by losing a good employee that would have stayed.
Every time I see these shows the bar is failing but the bartenders always have nice new cars, stealing from the owners giving away drinks gives them all that under the table tip money.
Anyone can get a new car and be leveraged up to their eyeballs. I grew up in a wanna-pretend-we’re-rich suburb. McMansions and sports cars everywhere, yet people can barely afford food if they miss a paycheck.
@@Robynhoodlum There it is! I used to think someone driving a fancy car was rich. Then I thought, well, they USED to be rich. Now I realize even that probably isn't true lol
@@sitcomchristian6886 Yeah, new cars are the worst depreciating “asset” anyone can buy. You lose 20-25% just driving off the lot. You’d do better to set the money on fire.
Am I the only one who wanted to smack that smile off of Ed's face? I mean, he had a cash camel right across the street in one of baseball's oldest ballparks (Wrigley Field in Chicago, built in 1914), and he blew it! I'm glad Jon saved the employees of the bar though.
If any subordinate walks out on me during "crunch time" or when I'm speaking to them, they can stay gone. You are not fly only during the summer weather. It isn't Burger King; you can't have it your way.
ed got in trouble with the city of chicago for violating social distancing guidelines and that's about it. dug out was never in any real danger of failing due to ed owning the building. the only way it was ever gonna go under is if either the building burns down or ed loses the liquor license.
@@xsoultillerx no wonder Why that smuck is so overconfidently cocky, cuz he owns the freaking building 😂 He didn't even hide the fact that he just used Bar rescue team as a chance to upgrade his bar for free...What a dick!

This guy lacks common sense, blames everything on everyone else except himself, got Jon Taffer to give up on him, he was lazy, treated his failing business as a joke, and worse of all he was a drunk.
Jon didn't give up on anyone who really want his help. That owner showed clearly that he only used the team to upgrade his bar for free, so Jon had to do it cuz of the contract but there's no reason to actually help him knowing that he's not gonna appreciate your help at all.
I would say Steve from Headhunters in Austin, Texas was the worst bar owner. Completely dismissive of the health hazards his bar had, deflected any and all criticism, and ripped off his employees. Steve should be in jail especially since he STILL hasn't paid them their dues.

Any update on that bar?
Friend zones are different atmospheres for both genders. For women it seems more toxic.
At 4:00 I do kind of understand her anger with the sharing tips. If she's a hard worker providing great service and her coworker doesn't, sharing tips wouldn't be fair.
Sometimes it takes a lot of people supporting in silence so 1 can shine, cuz no way anyone can operate a business by himself/herself. I understand that sometimes there's people who do nothing but still get tip, that's surely not fair, but management have to fix that. It's also not fair when the others who also put bricks on layers so a few can have all the glory but they have no tips for what they contributed. Without the bricks there's no way you can build a extravaganza villa.
Sharing tips is absolute bullshit
@@Luluandbebe this is the reason no other country has their servers make most of their money from tips
I work in a casino and we share tips. It helps cover the poor guy dealing to a table of fleas, or in high limit with no players, or a dumb carnie that rips its players off. The difference is that a bartender can overpour in order to induce a higher tip. Now that bartender is profiting while shafting the owner. Then the other bartenders have to do the same to compete. It's a downward spiral that, with the wrong people, will get out of control in a real hurry.
@@arashink then fire the shitty bartender. Don’t make the others suffer with you.
The moment that owner said "you know what's funny is that Jessica never even liked you" I knew Brandon was making the right choice. People in the comments calling him a simp or saying he's stuck in the friendzone aren't understanding it seems Brandon left because he felt like the owners were throwing him under the bus too. He thought the situation with Jessica was handled poorly and already stated he had worked on and off at this place for four years so it wouldn't be the first time he's left. He felt like he was also being called a liar and a thief by them and didn't want to stand for it. Seeing the way those owners ran the bar, I say he made the smart move.
Plus he probably figured that he would eventually get the shaft too, if he stayed.
Agreed, she really showed her nasty, manipulative side. He made the right call leaving that bar
Homeboy said he was there cleaning until 6am, OFF the clock.
Power to the People
@@joshDammmit I don't do that off the clock shit so more power to him to get the hell outta there.
No your just easily impressed. Judging by his body language and behavior he was being a follower and I question his motives. I don't think she was lying or hating on Jessica.
The entire staff quit on that owner... ouch!!
"You don't pick s**t OUT OF THE SKY THATS WHY YOUR FAILING" honestly best advice ever lol
The Last owner has brain damage from all the drinking he does, can't even talk properly anymore and common sense reasoning is beyond him now.
That's why an alcoholic is the worst kind of bar owner.
That was unbelievably sad to watch. That guy is completely broken inside, something or a series of things really shitty has happened to that man. i felt bad all around, for the bar tenders but also for him. Hes just Miserable with a capital M.
To me, he sounded like that one guy from Red Letter Media. Mr. Plinkett, I think his name was...
@@crazyluigi6664 Oh god he does lmaoo
@@SouthernOregonOrgani Agreed, that dude is a black hole. It's really sad, but you can't make him get help, you can only save yourself.
To the crew from The Dugout/Press Box you deserve a better employer then one that is going to drunk all the time and not appreciate you. GOOD LUCK!!
And the biggest kicker is that Ed didn't even want the bar in the first place.
@@NerdyHippy True, then why did try to rent out the space as a bar?
@@kevinwright7931 It wound up falling into his lap when the original owner wasn't paying the rent, or something of that sort.
Taffer giving help to the workers is so awesome. Ed's employees deserved better!
13:31
"I've never stolen a dollar in my life"
You don't need to physically take a dollar out of the drawer, and put it in your pocket, for it to be stealing.
Not ringing up a sale for lost product is unaccounted money, which is stealing.
Giving away free shots or drinks or free anything, is stealing.
I had the best GM at my old job. She would always be there working her ass off, helping everyone she could, and take on any role. When I see owners and employees who don’t give a shit I just think, “Amanda would never let this happen, she’d be kicking someone’s ass”
Lee is a boss!!! He said it ain’t about you, it’s about all of us. That’s how a real mean talks. The business works when everyone works as a team.
Fr, mad respect for him taking his role seriously and not letting his staff run him
I don't respect him cause if you watched that entire episode Lee was a shitty ass bar owner his friend was fucking around behind the bar counter and when he was asked to leave he started a fight with the bouncer... Lee FIRED the bouncer for the fight and then during the pressure test he was not doing his job properly as an owner and blamed his employees for his failures... I can clearly see why Nikita (the girl who was shouting at him) had acted the way that she did because I would've cussed his ass out too because how can you expect your employees to respect you when all you do in your restaurant is come in every day, drink alcohol, play pool, and let your "best friend" goof off behind the bar 🙄🙄🙄
I think you need to use the edit button homie I think you mean that's how a real man talks
No he’s not. He blames shit on everyone else when he doesn’t have control and something goes wrong😐
I ain't sharing tips. My money is MY money that the customer gave to ME! So the slacker on the 'team' makes as much tips as I do because that's 'fair'? Bull. Shit. A real man accepts personal responsibility and doesn't blame everything on his employees that he never bothered to empower OR train. Now you're gonna take my hard work and give an even split to all the employees? Hell no lol
I didn't feel like they were portrayed as thieves and liars.
I felt like they were portrayed as people who didn't realize or accept that giving away drinks is considering stealing money from the owner's perspective. It may not have been malicious in nature, but the end result is the same, the bar losing money. And if they don't understand that, then yes, they are a threat to the business.
True. But a conversation about it to give them a chance to modify their behavior could have been more helpful. Then they wouldn't have to be shocked that the last employee they had didn't want to do the job by himself lol
It’s really not rocket science they knew what they were doing lls
@@sitcomchristian6886 Well like the owner said she's asked multiple times why something isn't rung up should make you remember "Hey I need to ring this up". Things were glossed over because people are "like family".
Yeah I think a lot of people who do this sort of work only look at stealing as in cash. They don't look at other ways a business can lose money. It's the owners fault, they should have trained their staff better in the first place.
How can you NOT see it as theft? Now, that just sounds like making excuses for them giving free drinks away.
Taffer: "I've never worked with an owner like Ed. If he doesn't step up and embrace his future, he's not gonna have one."
I'm afraid you're already too much, too little, too late for that, Jon. His pathetic excuse of a bar was shuttered by the city's Health Department for repeated violations of COVID-19 laws. Ed didn't get a grand opening. Now Ed has no bar no more. EVER.
Then again, I might be wrong on that last part.
Yay!!
Good riddance.
I'm surprised it took him this long to close down, from COVID-19 violations of all things!
@@TravisBroski dude is in a high traffic high money spending area.
Nah you right bbn they did close it because of a violation of health codes
Jon and the girls did the right thing. Just to walk away from someone who was not willing to change or listen to Jon's advice. It's too bad that one of the girls was not picked as the new owner of the bar, then they would be making money, and not have to worry about a big dumb ass who was not happy with the chance and all of his employees leaveing him high and dry.
From what I've seen another comment say 2 of the girls went back i guess
That "you do" was so powerful and timed perfectly
Can’t beat a Jon rant.
If Yvette saying that Jessica never liked Brandon is true, then Brandon was a simp. There is no way I would quit a job just because a woman was fired, especially if she was stealing from the company.
Also, I really felt for the bartenders of Dugout. You can hear the pain and frustration in Emily's voice. If Dalila, the bartender who was the closest to the owner, was fed up with him, then you know that Ed was an awful owner.
Given the attitude of the owners, I'm more inclined to believe Jessica's take on things. Those two owners circlejerking themselves into oblivion after losing their entire staff made them look clinically delusional, and the woman trying to manipulate Brandon into staying by smearing Jessica's character only made the owner look sleazier and borderline sociopathic
What's a simp? Also, I don't know why Ed didn't just sell the bar. He doesn't like doing it. The bar was failing. Why be miserable?
@@pollypockets508 A simp is a person who tries way too hard to impress the person he or she likes even though the feeling isn't mutual.
I came here for this. That was such a white knight move🤣
Let's see Jessica help Brandon pay his bills
@ 18:00 always cracks me up to see random cameos, Delilah from the old show “bad girls club” (and damn her very short appearance on BGC was ROUGH, that’s the only reason I remember her!!)
I hope they help that girl pay rent. I definitely understand how she feels and he screwed up everything smh
We've seen the worst of the worst on this show, but Ed is probably the biggest let down ever. I mean, he literally showed up drunk to the grand opening, embarrassing himself and the girls working for him. He deserves his failure. Its harsh, yes, but he never even made an effort to correct himself.
Owner: Jon my God! How are you?
Jon: You're drunk aren't you?
Owner: no, not at all😐
Yeah😕
Very convincing...
The owner is a jerk. 😠
Liar, liar. Pants on fire...
"Jon, my guy!" he said.
"I can tell he's drunk by the way he's acting."
Aside from the fake show in front of the customers outside, he seemed to be acting the same.
I guess he's always drunk.
"Pineapple stormed out" followed by the lemons, limes and oranges...
Don’t forget banana and coconut they left with them
And the pears and tangerines
Quitting because somebody else got fired for what legally is considered theft, is crazy to me
For real that guy was such a chump. He probably had a crush on that girl tbh and saw no reason to continue working somewhere she wasn't
How do we get food out?
Jon: You pray😐…
That man funny asf 😂
"I feel like I'm jumping through hoops like a pony and ina dog show"
Dude you didn't even jump, let alone look at the hoop to make the effort
8:04 “How exactly do you get food?”
Jon Taffer: *You pray*
Ed: "He poisoned my staff against me."
Obi-Wan: "You have done that yourself."
You make my day every time I see and read this comment - May the Force be with You, my friend
Lisamarie is just looking at this Worldstar moment and she's just mad chill LMAO
she’s probably seen actual fights with drunks so verbal is a step down lmaooo
The blonde owner firing Jessica even when she didn’t have to was so stupid. It looked to me like she just wanted to prove to Jon that she could fire people so she fired the wrong person and then when they guy quit she instantly started saying “she never even liked you” like girl please you’re just mad that your plan backfired and it’s your fault.
That server stood there like a Deer in headlights, with both hands filled with food, looking TOTALLY lost. If anything, she wasn't the best of employees either.
15:02 What the heck are they laughing for if Jon said they fired 2 employees and Brandon quits, it's not a joke this is serious, Jon has no one to train with. How is he going to rescue a bar Jon asked?
He is laughing because he thinks the whole thing is crazy
@@kadencekeys9092 Hmph I bet it is.
Sometimes people will laugh, but it's not a haha one. But a oh shit this went up a chit creek with out a paddle. It's just everyone handles stress differently.
I really hope the ladies in the last clip got a job somewhere else and ended up okay, and Jon didn’t abandon them once the show was over :(
hate to say it but knowing Taffer he did.
'A hungry dog is a loyal dog'
Am I the only one that uses Bar Rescue to hyper focus and finish college projects due to massive burn out!? Lol the vibe helps
Finally. A new Bar Rescue compilation that I am watching. Thank god for Bar Rescue’s TH-cam channel. 👍😀
The last guy. If he should loose his business I just hope he doesn't take any one down with him. I glad his staff left. Other business owner would be glad to hire employees so caring.
“What you going to do about it” still my favorite line from him
That’s so sad that last owner was drunk and didn’t care when that bar could have went to someone who was willing to try
Guys a clown and a pos
That last one was so sad, clearly an alcoholic who hasn't excepted responsibility for himself. It's everyone else's fault smh. I am in my 2nd year of culinary arts, and am thinking about going into mixology as well. On my profession, I promise to keep things sanitized, and safe.
Jon does his best love it when a bar is turned round an takes off successfully same bar can't be saved
"If you need me come get me" while bar is packed. -Bar Manager
"Why can't you just stay at ur own bar " then proceeds to say that he's also gonna go home and someone else needs to deal with it
How can you be called a thief when you work off the clock doing your boss a favor for FREE...yet you are a "thief?" LOL
Respect has to be earned and it's going to take more than a few days to earn your staff's respect when, just a few days ago, you had your staff leaping over the bar to get away from a brawl, that happened because you didn't have the spine to ask your friend to stop being a dick and leave. It's baffling for someone to do that and then turn around and blame the staff for his failier. It's no wonder they had no faith in him. It's obvious he let them down time and time again.
Brandon quitting in solidarity with the thief girl he had a crush on at ynot and the owners telling him that the girl doesn't even like him 😭😭😭
Did he have a crush on her? I just thought he didn't like how the owners handled the situation, and didn't want to be the only employee.
Oh man I died when I heard that 😂🤣.
@@sitcomchristian6886 that's how I saw it to and he called her family like
Idk why people are pushing this weird narrative
I thought that was really spiteful of the owner and they are all well out of it.
@@MsAli0 That doesn't mean her statement is a lie. His demeanor and body language told me he more focused on the relationship with the girl. She got caught stealing and giving away free drinks. The owner ain't have to put up with that. That detrimental to her business. I felt she was telling the truth about the girl not liking him.
Thieves have the audacity to play victim, it's astounding.
i love the girl Ashley, with the tattoos. She is so pretty and shes amazing at her job! She deserves a bar of her own!
Owner fires 2 people: Great job!
Only employee left leaves because doesn't want to be seen as scumbag
Owner: .....what?
6:11 Holy hell, I'm not normally one for women with lots of tats but Ashley is looking FINE in that outfit. She's a great addition to the show with her skill, look, and attitude. She's a natural.
You like butch biker chicks huh? Gross!
Ashley is a total rockstar.
Lmao she definitely thought she was going to say no when she asked if she wanted her to go home
20:30 If anything those ladies definitely did the right thing by quitting on that drunk bastard.
my question is how they expect them to be pros w one day in training then fill the place up with a bunch of people out of nowhere and expect them to not get flustered make it make sense ☠️😭
right im tryna figure that out-
unfortunately the rough start for a lot of businesses dealing with customer interactions has these teething issues. You gotta be mean and get right into it if you have a fresh staff, and those who make it based on their ability to adapt and their training will have some good solid skills for their future employments in the industry. Those who don't typically are not really good for a chaotic industry hub rush.
While I admit, they like to force a really heavy situation in on the owners, managers, and new employees, it often helps show WHERE the problems are and who the problems are. It's sometimes just one or two major issues that cause the entire system to come to a crash.
That’s not what he does. It’s a stress test, meaning he’s checking how they work in a stressful environment. If you want to work a bar you can’t get jittery or cowardly, you gotta be good under pressure. He does the training after.
Pineapple screaming and the celebrity bartender is like "..........not gonna get involved."
Waitress -
"Do you want me to go home!?"
Manager -"Yes"
Waitress- "Omg why would you say that 😓😭"
Owner of the dugout never wanted to be a bar owner in the first place, by the time Jon got to the bar he already checked out and was depressed
The first clip: Honestly that's prolly the worst thing to do to a drunk, is get rid of all their friends, and leave them alone in a bar. LOL??
6:19 that's gotta be one of the best western dragon tattoos I've ever seen.
Love what you do John, but alot of these folks are not worthy of you, or your experts advice or expertise
During the part with cassy and Amanda they tried to blame almost everything on everyone else despite the fact that everyone else was doing their job while sat around or did the exact opposite what they were supposed to do. Althea nerve of some people.
He ask, "who's ordering food?" Literally 3 hands go up. He walks into the kitchen, 15 hands went up. No wonder he's got a pa ked bar. He's seeing 4 times the amount of of people a sober person would see 😂😂😂
If I was Jon Taffer I wouldn't let anyone who left comeback to whatever bar I'm trying to fix, I'd just bring new people in and get them trained.
16:22 he's so drunk, he doesn't even know he made a joke. 🥴
That bar where everyone quit or was fired. As a manager what I would have done is shut down the business for a couple days. Put up an advertisement on indeed, do something to pull in new hires. Train them right away ON THE TASK THEY NEED TO DO. What I saw with that bar was that they had one person doing three jobs. I worked in fast food for over 4 years and that's not what you do. One person needs to have their own task and if they need to do another test, make them do it for 5-10 minutes and then go back to their original task. That's how the service industry needs to be structured by a manager, in order for everything to run smooth and everything to be set up for success. Don't make a cashier go in the back and cook, don't make a bartender also have to be a server.
Jon has balls of steel
By angrily roasting, and have something to say to owners who don’t care. 😀
Update to this Bar Rescue compilation- Lee from the Fogline is now in prison on drug and drug smuggling charges from the US Dept. Of Justice- he is serving 10 years.
Ed Cressy from the Press Box/Dugout was in the news for having his bar operate beyond established closing times near Wrigleyville in Chicago during the COVID pandemic.
The authorities were investigating fining his business taking legal action against him and others who were operating the bar at the time.
On a personal note- I know what it is like to heavily clean a business off the clock and to get nothing to show for it. Especially when it is not your fault and you didn't start it in the first place. In the episode "How To Train Your Goldfish"- Brandon quit because of the fact of what happened with his co-workers but the key element that stuck out for me- was when he mentioned that he spent all night cleaning off the clock for the owners when their responsible for the mess they have made. I know what that is like- because I have done it at my former work without so much as a thank you or any recognition when I was off the clock doing it for my former employer.
So did the owners take a step forward- in some sense for the other two employees being fired- Yes. But for putting Brandon in this position for what he went though- NO. They took a step backward by losing a good employee that would have stayed.
Hope jon taffer doesn’t retire.

Every time I see these shows the bar is failing but the bartenders always have nice new cars, stealing from the owners giving away drinks gives them all that under the table tip money.
Anyone can get a new car and be leveraged up to their eyeballs. I grew up in a wanna-pretend-we’re-rich suburb. McMansions and sports cars everywhere, yet people can barely afford food if they miss a paycheck.
@@Robynhoodlum There it is! I used to think someone driving a fancy car was rich. Then I thought, well, they USED to be rich. Now I realize even that probably isn't true lol
@@sitcomchristian6886 Yeah, new cars are the worst depreciating “asset” anyone can buy. You lose 20-25% just driving off the lot. You’d do better to set the money on fire.
Am I the only one who wanted to smack that smile off of Ed's face? I mean, he had a cash camel right across the street in one of baseball's oldest ballparks (Wrigley Field in Chicago, built in 1914), and he blew it! I'm glad Jon saved the employees of the bar though.
If any subordinate walks out on me during "crunch time" or when I'm speaking to them, they can stay gone. You are not fly only during the summer weather. It isn't Burger King; you can't have it your way.
