Ep 9. Too Many Managers, Not Enough Man

In Bar Rescue season 6 episode 9, entitled "Too Many Managers, Not Enough Man," Jon Taffer heads to St. Charles, Missouri to help a family-run sports bar, Bottoms Up Bar and Grill. The bar has been struggling, despite its prime location near the highway and a local casino, and the family members who run it have been at odds with each other.

Upon arrival, Jon digs deeper into the issues plaguing the bar and finds out that the family has hired too many managers, who are all vying for control and creating a chaotic work environment. The staff is unhappy and unengaged, and the bar's menu and decor are outdated and unappetizing.

Jon sits down with the family and the managers to discuss their roles and responsibilities, and to gauge their commitment to turning the bar around. He also meets with the staff to assess their level of training and motivation.

With a clear understanding of the problems, Jon devises a plan to streamline operations and improve the customer experience. He brings in his experts to revamp the bar's menu and decor, and to train the staff on how to deliver top-notch service.

The family is resistant to change at first, but Jon's tough love approach eventually breaks through. He pushes them to make tough decisions and to hold each other accountable. The managers learn to work together, and the staff becomes more engaged and efficient.

The show highlights the challenges of family-run businesses and the importance of clear communication and teamwork. It also showcases the impact of effective leadership and the power of a well-trained and motivated staff.
