About
A usual episode starts with a first acquaintance to a struggling bar suffering from different weaknesses: operational and professional ones. Team members together with the locals enter the place to order food and drinks and evaluate the quality of food and service. They express their opinion and share their impressions. This process is usually filmed with hidden cameras. At this time, Taffer, accompanied by his team companions, looks around the kitchen evaluating the quality of service provided.
Later, he gets introduced to the staff and the owners of the place and shares the impressions of what he sees negotiating on the possible alterations in the future. He changes the way the management works, the way the customer service is provided. He also checks if everything’s clean and comfortable. All of these things are supposed to change the place into a source of stable financial profit.
Next thing that Taffer deals with is a pricing policy and studies financial records. Usually these alterations help to get even more financial profit.
What makes the show a dramatic reality is Taffer’s behavior. He’s a brusque, straightforward man with confrontational attitude ready to get the goal he’s planning to get. His bold behavior helps to produce critical changes to the bars and pubs. What makes the show even more dramatic is firing of dishonest employees if it’s really necessary.
