Each episode follows Jon Taffer and his expert team as they enter a failing bar on the verge of closure. Through surveillance and stress tests, Taffer identifies the root causes of failure often lazy owners, untrained staff, unsafe practices, or outdated concepts. He confronts owners with harsh truths, sometimes leading to explosive arguments. After forcing accountability, the team renovates the bar, redesigns the menu, retrains staff, and rebrands the business. The reopening night determines whether the bar can survive. While some businesses recover, others relapse, highlighting how change requires discipline beyond television intervention. The show delivers business lessons wrapped in high drama and real financial stakes.
