Ep 8. Cafe Treats

Tabatha Takes Over (also known as Tabatha's Salon Takeover) is a reality show where hairdresser and businesswoman Tabatha Coffey travels around the country helping struggling salons and businesses turn themselves around. In season 5, episode 8, Tabatha visits Cafe Treats, a family-owned cafe in Los Angeles that specializes in desserts and pastries.

Upon arriving, Tabatha immediately notices several problems with the cafe's layout and decor. The walls are cluttered with mismatched decorations, and the tables are all different sizes and heights. The staff is disorganized and unfocused, and the service is slow and unreliable.

Tabatha sits down with the owners, a mother and daughter team, to discuss the issues at hand. She learns that the cafe is losing money and that the owners are struggling to keep up with the bills. They admit that they lack the business knowledge and experience to run a successful enterprise and are in desperate need of Tabatha's help.

Tabatha quickly sets to work, reorganizing the cafe's layout and creating a more cohesive and inviting atmosphere. She teaches the staff about time management and customer service, showing them how to prioritize tasks and communicate effectively. She also helps the owners streamline their menu, focusing on the most profitable items and simplifying the ordering process.

As the week progresses, the cafe's staff begins to show marked improvement. They become more confident and efficient, and the service becomes faster and more reliable. The owners are thrilled with the changes Tabatha has made and are grateful for her help.

At the end of the episode, Tabatha leaves the cafe with a sense of pride and accomplishment. She has helped the owners turn their struggling business around and has given them the tools they need to succeed. It's a satisfying ending to a hard week of work, and a reminder of the power of determination and perseverance in the face of adversity.
