Ep. 125 - JON TAFFER EXPOSES BAR RESCUE!!

Welcome Home! On today's episode we have serial entrepreneur and host of the hit TV phenomenon BAR Rescue, JON TAFFER. We talk everything Bar Rescue, Jon EXPOSES some secrets of the show, we talk about his new Bourbon, upcoming projects, TIPPING and MORE!!

[@KKishaA]

I have no words for how much I appreciate Jon. Who would think a show about bars and alcohol could encourage people to be the best version of themselves? Thank you Jon.

[@A_M_P_]

Jon Taffer is a national treasure.

[@atliszilla445]

Jon taffer is the reason why i do my chores correctly.

[@cristianbeastmode]

Can you put the camera on him.

[@zaakmitchell6955]

Agreed

[@rob3223]

FEELS LIKE HES ON THE PHONE

[@danielnicholson25]

Agree I think an angle that captures all four people would be best and maybe the individual angles secondarily. Great vid tho

[@adamr9215]

The camera isn’t the problem, Taffer’s mic is. I have to turn the volume up every time he is talking, but I have to turn it down every time other people talk. It’s a horrible set up for a podcast. I can’t believe that they didn’t have a sound guy balancing the audio. Probably the lowest quality podcast I’ve heard.

[@sparticus55667]

Bruh look at their view count they can't do shit lol someone's funding dumpster fire too

[@notthatkindofdoctormatt1036]

I was at a Dominos picking up Pizza and when I paid, the machine automatically asked me about adding a tip. The cashier said, "God, I hate that thing. We are hourly/salaried workers, please don't leave a tip because I have to claim that on taxes and I'd rather not do that." Him and I started chatting about it. He said it only started when they switched to a new terminal for card transactions. It's a money grab by the company that makes the terminal. If you spend $20 at Dominos and that company takes 10%, they get $2. But if you spend $20 and add a 20% tip now it's $24 total and at 10%, they get $2.40. The company that makes the terminal wants you to tip every time because it raises their bottom line, not because it's a gratuity for service.

[@Demedich1]

And this is why you should always tip cash if you can.

[@NickDePanfilis]

Why don't they want to claim their tips on taxes? If they got paid more hourly it would be claimed on their taxes. Makes no sense.

[@PhayzinOut]

​@@NickDePanfilisBecause logic says tips shouldn't go to Uncle Sam

[@NickDePanfilis]

@@PhayzinOut And what logic is that? Tips don't go to Uncle Sam, a percentage of your income does. Nobody living on tip income are paying that much in taxes regardless, if they owe anything at all lol

[@PhayzinOut]

@@NickDePanfilis They are if they're reporting tips at the end of the night. It becomes part of their income That's why no one wants to report their tips. You think the IRS gives a fuck whether tips should be separate from their pay rate?

32:33 It’s so strange to hear Jon Taffer drop the f-bomb because most of the time it’s censored.

[@vaporean_boylove.0w083]

It really does sound strange xD I kinda forgot I wasn't watching a TV network

[@Warrior2044]

@@vaporean_boylove.0w083 I wish just like Hell’s Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares, they have an uncensored version of Bar Rescue.

[@junes4856]

my three big gripes with this podcast is; 1: them not having the camera focused on the person talking (or at least having a show with all four of them), 2: the audio levels are not consistent at all. 3: you can hear a ton of background noise so it's really distracting still honestly great to hear jon talk outside of the show, great perspective and makes me like him + the show even more

[@PAVEL--JAKL]

John Taffer is amazing man..👌

[@jacobnunn7923]

His stance on tips really goes to show you the kind of great man he is. God bless you Jon

[@Michael713TX]

I need to see a podcast with John Taffer and Joey Diaz together

[@johnnycashlives316]

Taffer is not an a**hole, people are idiots.

[@elevatorsfromrobloxbyposword]

[@danielstellmon5330]

As Jodan Peterson would say he's a disagreeable personality. He values getting things done more than feelings. He yelled to motivate people. He does not care if you move to work or move out of the job. If you leave he will get someone else. It's all about the job, nothing about the people.

[@krisaaron5771]

@@danielstellmon5330 "It's all about the job, nothing about the people." And that's a GOOD thing! The people will always put themselves and their needs first, stroke their own egos and rationalize one failure after another while denying how much of their losses are entirely their fault.

[@MackWittDaCheeze]

The camera should be on the person talking

[@PAVEL--JAKL]

Bar rescue is the best show in tv..👌

[@Bman328]

Idk why but when he said “that wall sucks it’s blue” made me laugh 😂😂

I don’t drink too often, I love John Taffer, and he has convinced me to get some!

[@adamhoffoss5768]

The audio levels are all over the place on this podcast. Put some headphones on so you can hear your levels and know when you're too close or too far from the mic and adjust accordingly. Otherwise, love Jon Taffer!

[@greecoboost]

I was thinking the same thing. Amateur hour.

[@loserlove1987]

I also think they should focus the camera on the person talking. Jon was talking multiple times throughout the episode and the camera was just focused on the other two guys staring at him nodding their head. First time watching this podcast so idk if this is how it tends to be or not.

[@billyjansen7690]

Nope ... just u can hear everything ... u to bored n have nothing to ... if u complaining bout volume that works .... get hobby or anything better ... u typing nothing and care cuz u just bleh .... get up go out or do anything but this

[@dshawnspjute6305]

​@billyjansen7690 just shut the hell up, he doesn't need to go get a hobby just because he stated that the videos sound levels are off. Its a fact the audio levels are weird asf in this video and they should always try to improve their videos. When you have a guest on your show you put the camera on them when they are talking. We don't want to look at them the whole time when they have guests.

[@junes4856]

@@billyjansen7690 i think thats a completely valid complaint but whatever man.

[@cassidydickinson7974]

I think this is a great podcast. However, there were times I thought my phone was frozen because it was only on the two of you. It seemed like a person who wanted their face in there as much as possible even when they weren't commenting. I hope the show progresses and that you guys are going well. There are just a few things to work on. I wish you the best!

[@WelderB1Family]

sure, sure - great interview, Jon Taffer is the man!

[@danielsavage9811]

The camera work must have been an accident… right? I had to fast forward to when Jon was back on camera.

[@countesscat2348]

Here is to Taffers coming to Canada. Jon Taffer is A-1. Watch Bar Rescue all the time.

[@ashermorris1139]

The reason all those machines have select a tip preference even when the employee wouldnt normally receive tips is because the machine vendors for the fancy card readers as apart of the deal with the business, automatically take x% of all card transactions regardless if it’s a tip or not. The card companies are the ones forcing the tip screen to pop up

[@blueninjas1236]

So do the employees actually get the tip or not?

[@tinyky2598]

​@@blueninjas1236 yes but the card company takes a % out from the total

Taffers mic is really low compared to the others. Turn the volume up to hear John then get blasted by the others voice

[@danielstellmon5330]

John is not good at keeping a consistent distance from the mic. He is used to a body mic and is very animated while speaking.

[@Espada___6]

Made no sense to me

[@Shortfirstslip]

Jon is an industry professional (both bar AND film), but he's so passionate that he occasionally loses focus and gets too far away from the mic while speaking about his craft. I'm impressed by that level of enthusiasm, it's the mark of person who cares.

[@bksduskmirror1250]

In Quebec Canada a 15% tip is added to your bar and food bill, it’s the law, you don’t have a choice to pay it. You can have shitty service, bad drinks and disgusting food, waiters with bad attitude, they don’t even care about you anymore, they know they will get their tips anyway.

[@greecoboost]

You still have to pay even if you get disgusting food? What about if you discuss the food?

[@whyisblue923taken]

I knew Canada was bad, but the governments over there make sure that you know they hate you and want you dead. In the US, they blow smoke up our butts while stealing our money.

[@sweetdaddydee1314]

And now the nfl and sunday ticket is getting sued. And the whole tipping thing, tipping should only be for like good service and what not. I firmly believe that restaurants and bars should pay their employees a proper, living wage.

I’m all for tipping high for great service. I’m not tipping high for bad service. To me this should be performance based. A lot of servers are entitled now post “the rona“ unfortunately.

[@sweetdaddydee1314]

Tipping shouldn't be for the sole purpose of their whole paycheck. Tipping should be for good service. The restaurants need to pay their employees a proper wage.
